None of which sold out either…

Will be interesting to see how this year’s goes. It seems to have been better received…could also be that it he whiners have all moved on

 

Genuinely think this one will sell out and fairly quick

I would hope so and makes sense from a marketing perspective to have 1 poster than the individual artist pictures however I wouldnt expect too many more names to be on it.

Becky Hill booked for Scarborough the week after R&L, could be booked?

Arcadia rumour is quite interesting

It looks cool but doesn't work very well at night - let alone in the day finishing at 11pm 😂

If its late at leeds will be rammed and nobody will able to hear anything if its like glasto - as the entire festival will be there trying to get close since theres nothing else on

Her tour is way too big, outdoor shows in Durham, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Scarborough, Derby, Newmarket (Cambridge) and Margate

Sub in 2021, 2023 and 2024 would be a very boring bit of booking no matter how big of a crowd she deservingly attracts. As @Muppetmarksays a long with an arena tour and outdoor shows, can't see it personally.

Playing Cardiff on the 24th so possible she does that between R and L. She's doing 3 on the trot the week after so not ruled out

Reading and Leeds have just sent ‘👀’ to their Instagram broadcast channel. Could mean poster is being released today.

Teasing the poster?

Welll we have an answer it was no...

[Jack.194]

Surely it’ll just be the same names in a different format?

10 artists is a super small first announcement. Even 2021 was double that and that felt small. Hardly any point even making a poster with 10 names on, wouldn't be surprised to see them add more first

I tried to mockup a poster multiple times this weekend on Photoshop in the same vain as 2021's first poster and no matter how you try to put it, it looks ridiculous. I cannot see a poster being made with so few names.

If you can put a TBA on all the blank spots, it will at least give Benj something to count and complain about how it is 13.2% less acts than last year, and we can argue whether Digga D is 3rd down, or 6th down on a combined MS.

It also gets the hype train going a bit when you see how many more acts are still to come.

Seems like a decent sales strategy to me, sell tickets based on initial headliner hype and then drop the 'lineup' after that subsides, for a second surge...

Are you predicting they're going to cut the mains stages by yet another act this year Chaddy?

Will only be 2 more years until they're back to the initial single main stage number at that point

Do we still think there will be something coming today and if so what time? 6?
