There we are then. We're still living in the Georgian era up here.

Could Doves headline in a comeback summer?

I'm not sure they'd sell enough tickets to headline to be honest, when they came back a couple of years ago they were only doing small venues before it was cut short. Could still play though

First announcement on Friday 15th Nov.

 

Will definitely be going all weekend.

I'm looking for something for the Saturday. Anything but the Courteeners will be a good start, but needs to outclass Live at Leeds.

It's too obvious for it to be Courteeners.

[NorthernSoul52]

But obvious is as obvious does.

 

Heaton again, perhaps?

He's at Bramall Lane on the Sunday, with Shed Seven and Lightning Seeds

[NorthernSoul52]

Weekend lines up then if he fancies back-to-backs?

Someone's mentioned the Reytons music and a Gerry Cinnamon crowd intro have been used in the latest FB posts. If that's the case, I'm out. 

 

Really enjoyed the Pulp day last year, hopefully they'll go down that kind of route for at least one of the days rather than going down the Gerry Cinnamon, Blossoms, Courteeners path.

Reytons would be a good choice for them to be honest.

Crikey, that would be horrific

Courteeners are great. I will never get the hate they get on here. Seen them 4/5 times and the crowds are always really good. 

 

Their first few albums are full of belters too.

Could definitely see the headliners being Reytons and Gerry after these teasers, but would love Blossoms to be one of the days (with Reytons subbing Gerry?). The Ks HAVE to be on the bill too, they even tweeted it when this got cancelled last year.

Don't hate them, just find them a bit formulaic, and they're booked a bit too frequently for festivals. Prefer a bit of variety.

Considering just how few people were left in the arena on the evening he played, I think that would be a mistake! Same with Reytons as headliner, surely they're second top at best?

[DannyEFC]

I’m pretty sure Gerry Cinnamon is one of the headliners and take your pick from the likes of Bloc Party, Libertines, Courteeners etc for the other. I personally hope for Catfish & the Bottlemen but I’m not sure given Vanns current issues.

Can't see it with the stadium shows. Like it or not, being pitched as a level above these mid size festivals now. 

[DannyEFC]

I saw them in Sefton Park last earlier this year and it was brilliant, it was more of a hope than anything.

They were brilliant in Swansea a few years ago.

Oh I'm a fan! would love them on the bill but don't see it. Seeing them at Spurs stadium next summer - very excited! 

[NorthernSoul52]

Courteeners are fine, it's just a bit of a "Larry David shrugs in Curb Your Enthusiasm" pick, isn't it? 

[Benjsh]

I think it's going to be Gerry and Courteeners. Very safe bookings but will ensure it sells out tbf as both acts are incredibly popular in the north of England.

 

The entire lineup is generally strong though across the board though at this festival. Every year there are clashes. 

 

So many good indie bands still knocking about so I'm sure it will be a great weekend again.

You couldn't blame a festival returning after not being able to make it this year go safe.

I noticed Richard Ashcroft was playing a gig on the Sunday in Stevenage with Zutons. He was superb last time he headlined, wonder if he could be a Saturday headliner?

 

I fully expect to see Kaiser Chiefs, Cribs, Supergrass, Lightning Seeds, Jake Bugg, Inhaler, Amazons, Lathums, Sigrid and Zutons on the bill somewhere and would love Fat Dog to be on there too 🐶
