Starting to post venue line-ups and stage times on their socials.

The Last Dinner Party into Wunderhorse might be enough to get me to get my ticket

I am going to see The Last Dinner Party in Hull the next day already though and have Wunderhorse booked for November

This just seems such good value though

[sheffinghell]

Yep, it's pretty good isn't it. Be interesting to see how the O2 and LUSU lineups compare.

A good samaritan has set up a Clashfinder with all the set times that have been published so far. Would recommend adding a highlights row so you can plot out the day (go to 'customise' then 'stages'). 

Looking forward to seeing the Brudenell lineup - hoping the likes of Fat Dog and Cowboyy are there

The organisers will usually put up a full clashfinder ahead of the event

Hopefully no bands I want to see at are Brudenell. Great venue, but too far away. Fortunately no bands I want to see are playing Hyde Park

To those that have been before, would  you recommend getting the VIP add on or is this rarely needed?

I've only been once (last year) and I hardly had to queue to get into any venue. Saying that I only went to the O2 once in the middle of the day, I suspect that can be busier in the evening

I've not been recently, but never needed VIP in the past. The only venue that used to be hard to get into was the Cockpit, but obvs, that's no longer there. They also post up to date queue info on socials all day, so if there's someone you really want to see, you can judge whether you need to get in early. 

Also, looks like the two biggest stages this year are the two uni venues, no O2, and these are not too far apart for moving between.

Thanks for the info 🤝

Really looking forward to this now, shame it’s only a 1 day event as there’s so many people to see but so little time

Gonna try catch Picture Parlour, Keg, Bug Club, Home Counties, Mary in the Junkyard, tldp, Fat Dog

Any other good suggestions?

Can honestly say, in all the years I did go, including as a photographer when I had to cover a lot of ground, I have never really seen a bad act at Live at Leeds, and usually discovered at least a couple that I wanted to see again. It's a great day out if you like new music, and you can see from the media collaborations Dork, Line of Best Fit, etc) that it is very well respected. If I was going, I'd be checking these for reviews, and then listening to some tracks on Spotify before I make my shortlist.

Also have to say, the 'park' version this summer was brilliant, with the added bonus of a few more established acts that they'd showcased in years past.

I can't make it this year, but would would love to hear back what everyone thinks of the acts they got to see.

Its busy with stuff i wanna see from 12-12 so i think its shaping up very nicely indeed

luckily i have seen TLDP at end of the road and they werent my bag so can easily skip them here

i never enjoy the o2 academy so am glad its been binned off. 

that brudenell ending is as perfect as could possibly have been booked for me. Im hyped!

Cucamaras are great, might see them instead of Picture Parlour

Lime Garden & Django Jones are cool too, not sure about Lynks but might have to dip my toe in and see what the hype is all about 

[Memory Man]

Lynks is the best thing on this lineup for me, the hype is real

I’ll be there

Also check out Tapir!, getting some Radiohead vibes off them. Their clash with Keg is absolutely criminal, shame they only have 30 minutes

Anyone got any guesses as to who the special guest is at Wardrobe? Feel like it could be someone who has a headline gig in Leeds coming up so didn't want to be announced. Squid ruled out as they're playing in Bristol on both next Friday and Saturday evenings

App and full clashfinder now available. Cousin Tony's Brand New Firebird are playing at Belgrave - they weren't listed when the Belgrave lineup was announced on social media. Special guest is listed as 'Parents Evening' which could be English Teacher

Love how whenever festivals make an app they must spend £1000s on a web designer and yet halvin’s clashfinder.com is always infinitely better

Sounds a good bet. Plus they have a headline at the Brudenell soon-ish, so would make sense to keep them under the radar

They've not changed the PDF version in over 10 years though 😂
