How come? Looking like Madness and Bloc Party are touring next year and The Kooks played Live At Leeds In The Park last year so thinking Bloc Party will be Thursday headliner or sub at this. Maybe the Madness, Foals, Bloc Party, Wolf Alice & Biffy Clyro stuff is right.
At least with this you still have to be on at a certain time, and I guess the difference from the screenshot I saw is that See didn't seem to tell you the number, so you have to stick it out before you know whether you've got them, whereas with Ticketmaster you see there are 400,000 people in front of you and just give up. A ballot would just be filling in a form so its a bit better than that for me.
Like you say, numbers are the important thing. If one of the six get in the first 20-30,000, you're sorted.
So it looks like no more leaks from Daniel, we just have to wait til next week.
However, if it goes like invthe last few editions, one name will be confirmed by a song in the teaser video this week.
It is probably the fairest way to do it, even if it pretty much permanently removes the idea of the same people going every year, so impacts us on here! Though I'm guessing that's actually the plan.
