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. 

Very surprised if The Sugababes is true, the other names haven’t played for years though have they?

Prof Green, James bay and razorlight 2019 (4 festivals ago from 2024 festival due to COVID) 

The kooks 2021 (3 festivals ago) 

sugababes 2022 (2 festivals ago)  

it feels like they all played more recently

Tbf, 4 festivals is quite along time ago.  Some artists would have done 2 album cycles in that time.  But I do fully get your point, especially if you’ve been to that festival too

Do we think this is a small announcement with a 3^rd one to come, or we gonna get the rest of the main acts today?

Personally thinks it’s pretty much it all myself.  Basically this time last year there was a poster with 65 names (we now have 35 on the one this year).

Id be surprised if there’s not 25 min to come today.

A good set of decent sized artists. They might be to everyones tastes but when you take into account the acts on the first wave they have booked a lot of good sized acts this year.

[Dg_vic]

Lack of (leaked) dance acts is strange. Unless they have gone cheap on this front and the names are underwhelming.  Let’s see what the announcement brings. 

[DomDom1984]

Razorlight and Sugababes would probably be enough to sway me.

[Frangipane]

Update is on the VF website.

I've only got a Sunday ticket this year, as I've done for the previous two years, but these extra additions are making me seriously think about just getting a whole weekend ticket!

[sheffinghell]

There's some good stuff on there. I'd be very happy to see some of these acts at Tramlines or Y Not. Guessing Y Not might get Sugababes and Razorlight at either one. Groove Armada would be a dream. Would love to see Panic Shack at Tramlines - superb at Y Not last year.

We were always likely to go to the Biffy day and adding The Kooks has made certain of that.

Us too. Was waiting on where the Kooks would land so pleasantly surprised it was the Sunday. Think that's going to be our day this year too!

Enjoy your trip matey.  Safe flight

Cheers. In a different note. I'm pretty disappointed with that second announcement 

[Rich s]

Very underwhelming.nothing really stands out to the point I think it's amazing. 

Not a bad line-up but not enough for myself and my family to buy tickets.

Shame,we were looking forward to going

[gingerevans84]

Not bad at all. Been last 3 years and was put off this year by the extra shuttle bus cost, but I am tempted..

[kelstar]

Is it me, or do we think there is going to be a third line up announcement? Feels a little lighter than 2023

 

[FxxxItFlowers]

Very underwhelming announcement 😬alot of acts that played just a couple years ago

[eatingglitter]

I'm not fussed by the "big names", they are nice indie landfill but I was already pretty happy with the 1st wave. The undercard is where I'm hunting about for gems, so some new names to check out there, for sure.

[Rusty Spoon]

We have Sunday day tickets and there's nothing really on the other days for my taste so still quite happy with that.

Looking forward to seeing Panic Shack again, always a good show.

Really hope so !!   Where are all the classics ??  hardly any 80s singalong acts and the 90s are pretty low stocked too !!   

[sisco]

A lot depends if the seaside stage is back.  If it’s not then that’s probably the huge majority of the big acts announced now.

Last year on the poster was about roughly 30 acts each day including comedy, this year its 20ish. I dont think we get many big acts, but it seems a little light to me
