Last year we got 13 extra smaller acts alongside the day splits. The biggest to my memory were Vukovi/Bleed From Within I think? So maybe a dozen or so smaller acts again could be on the cards 

Just found last year’s line up at this point. The 13 added are in yellow; I know it’s all subjective but this year’s looks far bigger to me?

I think 2025 is looking great and far stronger than 2024. Sex Pistols aren’t the biggest headliner but the other 3 are bigger than last years heads and Biffy are a big get for a non headliner. That’s all before you add the GnR day too. My groups are all very happy.

Just read Spiritbox had to withdraw due to “logistical reasons” which I always very bad from bands who’s tour managers don’t plan these things right

Do we think Lorna, Skillet and Biffy are the second stage headliners like Sum 41 and PD this year or main stage subs?

That Friday is missing someone, assume that’s where Spiritbox were due but defo seems to be short one big name (white backgrounds). Think we will get a replacement?

Possibly looking at the placements, assuming they don’t clash with the main headliners because I feel like clashing them (Slipknot and Lorna Shore especially) would be madness?

I would have said looking at it they were on the Wednesday since there’s no one next to A7X. If that’s the case, they got added to Nova Rock the other week to replace Falling in Reverse and if they’ve done that that is absolutely disgusting from them to be honest, and I’m not a huge fan of them to start with.

Quite happy with the day splits and some of the little additions today, The Southern River Band is a massive bonus. Seen Fickle Friends and The K’s and enjoyed both, few more on my list of potentials. Already really like the sounds of the brilliantly named Battlesnake.

 

Got some good things to discover over the next few days being off work

The main stage and second stage don't clash at all.

Ah that’s brilliant; feel a lot more confident about seeing more of the acts I want to now

Hey guys, complete efest newbie from the UK here!

I've been trying to find various info on RfP but i've been having difficulty! I'd really appreciate if you could help with a few questions...

- The basic camping ticket says it's space for one tent, if two are sharing the tent do we both need to purchase a camping ticket?

- I'm not fully sold on taking all camping equipment on a plane so I'm considering booking a hotel and travelling in and out of the fest. Struggled to find anything that's a reasonable price in Hradec Kralove but did find something in Opocno. I looked at getting public transport (either train or bus) in the morning, then would probably get a taxi / bolt back to the hotel each night. Do you think that's really feasible or would I have a bad time?

- If I was to camp, it would definitely be by the lake so I can get a bit of a refreshing swim. Any recommendations for this? I imagine RfP gets quite hot most years? I'm used to the rain of Download, but in '23 when it was scorching I found it really difficult and would like to avoid feeling dry as a desert.

Thanks in advance!
