If he's not at Reggaeland the week before would be great to have him back. 

If this was on the Sunday or Friday, i'd say he's nailed on, but the fact the above is the Saturday means i'm not 100%, but he does seem to be playing back to back nights in Feb, so hopefully he makes an appearance on the Friday or Sunday

Chase and Status are doing their own show at Milton Keynes bowl, and playing Boardmasters same weekend, so that rules them out. I'd like to see all of your list playing, but i'd be surprised if we get many unfortunately. I'd say the ones we probably have the most chance of are Orbital, Underworld and Barry Can't Swim, but I've got no info on any of them playing.

Good catch on C&S. I agree that a fair few names are more wishful thinking than judgement, I'd love to see Idles there but they're playing Oya in Norway on the 10th so it would have to be two on the bounce for them as well.

Seems like the could be some crossover with Stowaway:

Uncle Duggs confirmed on his Friday show he will be there again this year.  

His hidden woods sets running through rave history are some of the best.  Hopefully a Thursday set again 🤞

"Expect reggae royalty", Damian probably nailed then?

Fat Freddy's Drop and SBTRKT both definitely playing on Grand Central. So are Fjaak and Labat are both playing on Zenith

Boomtown have been leaving some clues in their recent district videos. I actually haven’t heard much line up related news this year, and also wouldn’t publicly announce anything I hear until it’s in the public domain as know how hard Boomtown try to keep it under wraps

I respect that. I actually like the secret line-up approach, but it is nice to have a few names to get excited about in the build-up.

Anyone know if The Prodigy are coming back to headline this year? I remember Boomtown posting on instagram after Prodigy cancelled last year that they were hoping to get them back to headline in 2024?

[Metal Monkey]

Just had an email from Bandsintown saying Flogging Molly are playing.

Still seems pretty doable to be Sunday (11th) night again.  🤞

Great news, but doesn't this also rule out The Prodigy? Based on the above post you made, they surely can't both be playing on the Sunday?

I too wondered that - but didn't dare say it in case it's true.  (No prodigy would annoy a couple of my crew as I have sold it to them as they were bound to be there to close on Sunday - whoops.  Boomtown will not disappoint though!)

They both would have to play grand central surely. 

I'd much prefer an earlier evening or daytime (sunshine) DM and then Prodigy to finish.

Yea I hope Prodigy are lined up, gutted they couldn't make it last year. 

 

Any exciting snippets floating around regarding any site changes?

I bumped into Luke M @ glasto watching Steel Pulse.  I asked him  about what Reggae there was and he would only confirm Damien Marley.  

Kicking myself I didn't ask about the prodigy 🤦‍♂️  I'm a doughnut sometimes

I didn't see anyone from BT at Glastonbury this year, so no gossip from me either 😕
