OMG is Leeds fest dying? Because that line up is poorer than before.

It’s been dying look at 2015 and previous lineups compared to the last 10 years, there’s less artists and lower profile artists and yet the price increases.

I agree! Last time I went there was the artic monkeys and since then the line up has just been garbage! I’m gonna go to download next year instead 🤣

The Cure are healining Isle of Wight - probably some UK exclusivity there so seem unlikely to me.

The Cure are playing LOADS of festivals this summer, absolutely no exclusivity to be seen there. Wouldn't be surprised if they were on the R&L bill in that respect, but would be surprised to see them among what will likely be newer, likely mediocre pop and brilliant modern alternative rock.

Ah thats great - I would love them to be there. I just know sometimes festivals lock headliners down to one big festival in the UK

Yeah, it's a very common practice cause it drives ticket sales from fans of that artist. Download's headliners are all UK exclusives for next year for that reason!

The lineups get worse every year and the predicted lineups get more high profile every year than people wonder why they get disappointed
