Not many names I recognise on there. Joy (Anonymous) is a nice addition.

 

Anyone familiar with the other artists that could recommend who is worth a listen?

 

Kae tempest is the only one I know there, but she is worth a listen. No idea who the rest are though!

 

This will be our first time at rock en seine. There is no idea of what set times are yet I take it?

They are all shown (now) on the official app.

They were literally announced within a day of The Smile cancelling. 🙂

Not been to RES since 2018, but going back this year. Do the T2 trams still run till late after the final acts have finished? Staying in Suresnes as we always do. Thanks.

I wouldn't expect something that big since it's the 3rd stage. Last year's closing acts on there usually were electro acts (Romy, Overmono,...) but really unsure here. Pretty long set too. Some medium-sized French rock act ?

 

Not related to any thing I just said but would love Slowdive

If this is just based on the fact nobody is on that stage at that time, I wouldn't read into it too much. 

 

Massive Attack are very 'picky' about sound clashes and bleeding from other stages. I've previously seen them refuse to come on stage as they complained they could hear Franz Ferdinand playing in their monitors from another stage. 

 

So I wouldn't be surprised if the festival has just pulled the plug on the other stages to ensure no repeat of that.

Just seen that Nation of Language have been added to the bill. Absolutely fantastic booking, Strange Disciple was my album of the year for 2023.

in the app you can access the prog - clashfinder mode and on the upper right you get a picture of the clashdinder.

Just seen an app notification about cashless wristbands - is this mandatory or can I just use a card to buy food and drink?

Mandatory, but quite easy to top them up.

[polnico]

From their IG story, seems like we'll be getting a Polo & Pan B2B Myd DJ Set for the secret act. Could be fun.

What happens if you have money left over on the wristband after the festival? Do they refund you the difference?

Think so, but last year I just made sure I spent it! (which is of course what they want)

[WFD]

Sorry I'll expand on that- yes they do refund it, but I can't remember if it was automatic or you have to log on and ask for it back.

[sam1981]

According to the site:

 

If there is any money left on my cashless account, I can request a refund of this balance from 29/08/2022 10:00 am, to 14/09/2022 at 11:59 pm from my cashless account

Went last year, the app was simple, you have to ask for the refund but is very quick and easy.
