Iggy and Siouxsie would be great, and there's loads more on their oast lineups, but please let it not be Morrissey

I don't know them all, but doesn't appear to be any 90s acts on the US lineup.

They do focus more on 70s/80s

 

But, in the past they’ve booked Placebo, Interpol, Garbage, etc so they do book some ‘90s’ acts.

Pulp could be a possibility for this?
 

The MK Bowl is a big venue, so they must have a fairly big headliner.

Amazing if true. Haven't seen an all day lineup that stacked for years.

They've taken it down again, but Google still has a trail. Excellent news!

Brilliant lineup, all over this.

My teens right there! And I get to see The The and the Furs at long last. Kraftwerk a huge bonus too. 

[sheffinghell]

Booked into the Premier Inn already - half a mile away, free parking, very reasonable rates right now 😂

[johnl]

Hotel booked! Decided to go to MK for the w/e. Rates quite reasonable now. Looking forward already. Gone for the Premier Inn near the station which works better for me.

There looks to be two stages. You’d assume all those mentioned will get reasonable set lengths so likely to be clash central.

[sheffinghell]

Looks to be min. 17 acts if this is going to be the poster

Somebody was keen to get in there and announce it.

So that's another 7 we're waiting for on top of the names NME leaked.

Yep, and John Robb's extra stage is for interviews with artists and the like.

If anyone sees ticket pricing then pop it on here please :) It looks for the little map there will be the usual VIP bobbins but hopefully it's not too bad otherwise.

Blurb says it's starting at £85

Seemed to say it was a limited run of £85, which makes me think it'll be upped to £95 or even £105 fairly quickly.

It's AEG/AXS so will definitely be tiered. Might be offers for group bookings I guess, like they do for APE.

[sheffinghell]

It's being reported as 25k capacity, so a decent size, but not the biggest. I suppose there's an outside chance there might be freebies/discounted available nearer the time

I'm wondering if this price point is for early VIPs. It's a fair bit dearer than APE starting prices, and Ticketmaster seem to have the Pre-sale as VIP only.

[sheffinghell]

The PR has been leaked a few times already. Here's one that hasn't been taken down yet. You'll probably need Google Translate!

 

PS: there are no further names yet.

smarter to keep it small as Cruel World is 30,000 if it was sold out in the space it takes place in.

I’ve booked the same hotel. Also booked hotel near Villa Park the following night, just in case the Guns n Roses rumours are true. Both pay later, free cancellation. Missed out on Glastonbury tickets but this could be the start of a pretty decent alternative few days with nice comfy beds instead of a tent.
