It has been done in the past, Coldplay did both in 2016 as did Foo Fighters in 2015. So wouldn't rule it out especially with the amount of airtime she gets and the special of her going back to her Primary school a couple of weeks ago.

Nickelback would be a great addition as the 'Main Stage Opener Act'. I would love Catfish to be on there, but my head is telling me they may just hold out until their Cardiff show for their comeback.

[nathanh]

Charli XCX at radio 1 tomorrow afternoon could she be announced or prerecording for an announcement?

[nathanh]

Friday and ticket announcements starting at 8

[NickisGinger]

Line-up underwhelming so far. So Friday seems to be the no more dance day then. 

[sisco]

[nathanh]

Yeah despite billing the Friday as multigenre this year, still feels VERY dance even when you look at your Becky Hill and Ella Henderson, both have been doing A LOT of dance music

[loikju]

Glad to see the "new music" stage living up to it's name with 2 headliners who released their debut albums... checks notes... 2 decades ago!?

[NickisGinger]

Main stage doesn’t open till 4pm Friday???? Gates open at 2. They made out it like it was all day 🤣

[sacred shape]

Mad seeing Charlieeee there on Introducing. I'm friends/acquaintances with them and they've just massively shot up in popularity

[MatthewTurner]

I wonder if they were struggling to pull in acts for the Friday, the line-up looks way off the mark in terms of what was due to be a multi-genre day.

Considering the day is now 35,000 cap, with an additional stage from last year, I can see it being a very slow ticket mover. 
 

For £34 a ticket though you can’t complain too much I suppose.

Yeah that’s true, they did pull a decent size audience in Coventry too when they stepped in last minute.

I think that'll help given that's still cheaper than most of these acts' own shows. Even if it'll be shorter sets if prior R1BW events are anything to go by.

Theres no way it will struggle at that price.
