this is a brilliant lineup if it’s true. only thing is that i’m a little unsure as to what Kaiser Chiefs have done since being booked 2nd from top in 2023 to earn the headline slot. regardless though, they were brilliant in 2023 and i look forward to seeing them. courteeners and the prodigy are 2 of the best crowd pleasing festival performers on the scene and fat boy slim is a great heritage act to celebrate the 20 years. very very happy with that. 

 

To be honest Thursday night headliner is on that very borderline main day sub anyway.

2 of the 3 main headliners actually played Victorious as a Co-Head and a Sub last year.  Strange. 

 To be honest Victorious is 60k+ so much bigger.

I thought the same, but realised Prodigy are probably one of the biggest acts they've ever had, I just don't like them! 

 

They definitely are one of the biggest. It's definitely a case though of keeping an eye on Victorious as I think they'll have them and they've got the bigger event to be able to go bigger.

Overall I'll take it. For me there's a lot of fun, decent live bands littered through the undercard. 
Fatboy Slim is a rough choice for a main headliner but The Prodigy make up for that.

I get the gripes re Fatboy Slim, but he will go down unbelievably well with a KC crowd

There is many djs that have stood the test of time to be able to sell like he has. He's actually at one of his highest selling periods currently and the fact thaf Victorious booked him, Latitude have and now Kendall have tells you he's not just getting a novelty slot.

 

I think he's going to get a very decent slot at the main biggie.

I'm far from the target audience, it'll be the best atmosphere of the weekend, just not for me

I might go back this time. Plenty of stuff I like in prominent positions.

A very strong lineup but maybe to far away for me and expect a lot of the lineup to appear at other events nearer to me. However, if I had a ticket I would be happy enough with what's on offer.
