Don't disagree that if the headliners don't apeal to you it's not the best. Pvris/Kneecap does look a bit weak on paper but I'd say it's comparable to The Chats/Bob Vylan last year. TBS may be past their best but I think with Coheed and Cambria on the same day its okay. Any announcement was going to be dissapointing if you were expecting Biffy and Deftones.
Let's not forget that the social threads were requesting the likes of Chappell Roan & Sabrina Carpenter the day after Primavera came to an end this year. If you look at the comments on the Stereogum site they are very positive, and echoing what other people have said here, I think we'll appreciate how deep this line up goes when compared with other festivals throughout next year. The headliners might mirror something like Coachella, but their undercard would never be this creative or diverse
Overall its a typical Trees announcement. They have managed to get bands that they have been after for years so yeah they probably have overhyped it a bit but I cant really see anything wrong with it.
There is still so much more to come and the visual that @Nelson100 shared really shows that, still a fair few big spots still to announce too!
I am now getting ready to do my listening into the smaller acts to find my new fav!
If Chappell is headlining Primavera then we might have to consider her as the main headliner at R&L?
Personally think she should be second down like where Lana was billed as she is only on album 1.
Chappell Roan / Hozier
Foo Fighters / Kasabian
Post Malone / Central Cee
