Doubt Thursday as Boardmaster is that day. Think Tuesday at a guess with the usual 10am.

Tomoz it is… roll on 10am (I hope)

How many names do we think we’ll get? They announced more than usual in the first drop didn’t they?

Wonder if we’ll get 15 or 16 more tomorrow and the same again at the start of March which would probably complete the Main stages?

Do we know for sure whether the Seaside Stage or whatever it was called is making a comeback?

I know that the sea defence work in front of Southsea castle is nearly complete, and they have planted grass around the bandstand (seaside stage) 

I have added a photo of what someone posted on Facebook of the area.

and on the victorious website, it does say Seaside Stage will be back soon.

Anyone have any ‘wish list’ for who they would like to see added. I have two separate lists as follows 

never gonna happen but are around 

- the smile 

- soulwax 

- 2manydjs (dj set) 

- the kid Laroi 

More likely to happen and are around 

- the zutons 

- everything everything 

- libertines 

- basement jaxx (dj) 

Any of the above I would be happy.

Busted teasing an announcement tomorrow. Would be surprised if they don't rock up here.

So that was announced on the 10th Feb last year (really only Raye and Mumfords were added to it later on

So Far we’ve got 35 names.  On that poster there is 65 (I’ve not counted comedy acts).  So yeah, possibility of a bit drop coming, plus could be more if they bring back the seaside stage.

So for me, from the names announced at the other similar festivals I’d like:

The Kooks, The Mysterines, Frank Turner, Tom Grennan and an unrealistic The Streets

Ahh ok, haven’t got that so I’d have never seen.  Suppose they’re fun enough

I would love to see Hotwax, The Last Dinner Party, Wolf Alice and Everything Everything added. Libertines would be great as always - new album so far sounding very good!

Yes, he was. I've asked him where he saw/heard this.

Anyway, great the announcement is today!

Oh yes, of course. 

[Cowley4]

Very Underwhelming if that's true.  The previous years this festivals lineup was great.   Seems I picked the Duff year to buy 🤣

[sisco]

That’s a really strong set of 2nd names if you ask me.  Let’s see what 10am brings anyway. 

[kelstar]

Just listen to Wave 105 news, only update is Al Murray as final comedy act x

[Dg_vic]

Disappointing additions. Most of those have played in the last 4 festivals and some as recently as 2 years ago. 
 

Festivals in general struggling to book diverse acts this year, so not a surprise I suppose.
