All you guys should check out the Open'er (one announcement in the last 2 months and 1/4 headliners announced) or BBK (last band announcement Dec 17th) thread and calm down a little 😛

a few years ago in West Holts I once met a guy called Glasto Paul. he was a nice chap, wondering around with no shoes on

I prefer Anaerobic Digester's old stuff...

I have fingers crossed for Indie today, but then you knew that already... (I have nothing concrete to add with this post, I just felt the need to break up the 'Dave Wave' currently going on in this thread...)

Four sentences for the price of one!

I was told next week , but could be 11/12am today. They used to tease an hour or two before. We’ll know soon enough.

These are the same bots that elected Trump and voted for Brexit...

But obviously

Edit: double post Anyway Sherlock GIF on twitter means an announcement is imminent

i have a feeling the last boardmasters headliner wont be shared by victorious

Neighbourhood looks fab, always a good line up. Kendal and bluedot are sold out of campervan tickets but there’s a waiting list and also always tickets coming up on fb sites. I’m not aware of bluedots but Kendals is called Kendals Calling you. Ask on there. The site only allows selling tickets on a Monday. Would love to see you there x

It’s alright and that but she’s no Katy Perry.

I hope someone did a fire risk assessment for that many people in a corridor

The Thingy has a new page to help with such conundrums. Introducing the When Does page... https://theglastonburythingy.weebly.com/when-does.html With stuff like this...

They are a good band, not their best song though. Really surprised they didn't do "Give Yourself a Try". Agree about this thread though, it's embarrassing. Never seen so much chin-stroking w*nkery.

Thank god the 1975 appear to be staying clear this year....

Which means they could be at Glastonbury or big weekend

not very helpful but ....

Sounds great @Curlygirl - we have booked for Neighbourhood festival a local 2 dayer ( very indie based but we kinda like that) and if we do fail with the big G are looking at either Kendal or Bluedot (which is again close to home) but no caravan tickets available for either of those atm - not sure I can cope with camping any more! Used to go to leeds every year for years when much younger - nothing much on the line up appeals any more but had some great times there. Hoping the current headliner rumours are true as don't think it would result in a massive rush for the resale- any more than normal that is @funkyfairy am loving your posts re excitement over volunteering - am so jealous. Did consider looking at volunteering but no way we could a) get time off work and b) leave the kids for that long - we have very understanding and helpful parents who already come and stay for 5 days when we just go to the festival so can't ask them to do an extra 2-3 days- need them to grow up so we can leave them to it (might get called in by social services if we left an 8 and 12 year old to fend for themselves for the week...)

I actually dont think this lineup is anywhere near as bad as everyone is saying. Stormzy is gonna be huge (based off his Glasto slot) and definitely has enough crossover appeal for rock fans. I dont buy the whole "this aint london its glasgow and nobody cares" bs that people seem to be saying here, Stormzy is huge all over the UK not just in london. Catfish on an exclusive off the back of a new album aint too bad either. They are obviously on the trajectory to become major festival headliners, and TRNSMT seems like as good of a fest as any to be the stepping stone between smaller stuff like YNot and the big leagues. Ezra is the one weak one imo, i would have thought he was a bit too pop and he is already at every other fest this year. Plus, I dont think he has that much of a die har audience. However, they paired him up with Snow Patrol who are a very strong sub so its a little better. Personally, the bigger issue is the undercard. An awful lot if pop compared to past lineups (Years & Years, Jess Glynne etc.) which seems odd. Its not even the more alt-pop stuff that rock fans seem to find more pallatable, its just top 40 stuff. Also it almost comes across as more of a day festival this year, especially the Stormzy day. Having all the rap acts on one day seems very odd to me, and if they had been spread over the whole fest I think a lot more weekend tockets would be sold.

Bring on the bangers! HighlevelCostlyChicken-mobile.mp4

Good point Lawn. Bangers > Sausages. Obvs.

The first Tourist album and EP are definitely punchier. I’m seeing him next month in Hackney so will be interesting to see how the live show incorporates the new more blissed out tracks. Get him on The Park!
