How does it work, like it looks mixed up, im guessing the dancey acts play after the 'headliners' like deadmau5 and justice.
Who are the actual headliners, The Cure, Pearl Jam, Kasabian and RHCP?
Bottom is headliners. Like you say, Justice and Deadmau5 will be on after the headliners on their nights. I am very impressed with those choices this year, though they always get really good dance headliners. I've seen The Prodigy, 2manydjs, Moby and The Chemical Brothers there and Faithless played one of the years I went too but I was knackered and miss them. Main headliners are The Cure, Pearl Jam, The Chilis and then one is unannounced. Mumford after playing after Kasabian (Kasabian are pretty small in Europe). Blink are REALLY low, I guess they're not that big in Belgium which is weird because they are in the Netherlands. I think it might be something to do with the fact that the Belgians hate the whole emo scene, which Blink are indirectly linked to.
The 3rd stage is new, but it must be pretty big because Incubus are headlining it and they were 3rd from top of main last time they played. Garbage are really low there but maybe they just weren't big in Belgium.
It appears as though the Pyramid Marquee is going more dancey, which it always was to an extent anyway (I've seen great Royksopp, Justice, Soulwax and Digitalism shows in there)
All of the bands from about the 2nd/3rd band onwards on the main stage get a full hour set or more, so even though you see really big bands down low they do get a decent slot. Gaps between bands are too big; 40 mins, 50 mins for headliners. Was an hour for Metallica, which is why they needed the 3rd stage
