Yeah I like it when bands/acts do this too. It's a bold statement, and then is all the funnier when/if it turns out to be a bit of a stinker.

Had forgotten about this. Reviews seem a little more middling than usual but I've recently returned to my 'Dog Man Star is one of the greatest albums ever' phase so excited to hear it nonetheless.

Glastonbury will probably get them next time around. Think they're a dead cert for Reading/Leeds at this point. Baffling to me that people still don't think they could headline, but I suppose until a band headlines a festival a lot of people aren't going to see them as festival headliners.

Yeah I'm probably being unfair as I know from experience that they're still a tour-de-force live. It's just a shame that their setlists are gonna get more and more clogged up with so-so new material until they become a nostalgia act and stick to mainly old/good stuff. Although after seeing that setlist, maybe they're closer to that point than I think. But ignore me - I've become incredibly cynical in regards to Arcade Fire after being so disappointed by Everything Now. They're really not that bad I suppose.

He's never played before, and probably with good reason: His material doesn't really fit the ethos of the festival, is notoriously pretty shite live/raps over a backing track, and would also cost more than Glastonbury could afford/be willing to pay. Probably just pop up at Reading/Leeds every couple of years, or possibly Wireless.

Dreamy, although I'd probably be a lot more excited by the prospect of this if the dip in quality after those ten songs wouldn't be so incredibly apparent. Just another two/three years until we hear album #6 and can establish whether Arcade Fire have completely lost it or not...

New Brockhampton is great. A lot less outright banger/hype tracks than we got with the Saturation albums but still keeping up that high quality. Gave the new Christine & the Queens a couple of spins and it's not bad. I don't think I ever got around to listening to her previous one as I don't think I can stomach to hear Tilted again but this is really good, and thankfully Girlfriend wasn't an outlier (although is definitely the best song here).

Played WH last year. Reckon she could get an early Pyramid slot next time around.

Always thought the assumption with Madonna is that she'd take the lower fee in favour of the publicity she'd get from it, as is often the case with the bigger acts. Not that an act like Madonna really has anything to gain from playing Glastonbury but I'd have thought she was savvy enough to see it as a good opportunity to seem 'cool' or whatever. Then again, the only reason she's rumoured is because Emily followed her on Instagram which might just mean Emily's a fan rather than anything to do with Glastonbury.

Reckon she'll get a fairly decent Pyramid slot. Can't say I was all that interested in her before but damn did she take me by surprise with Girlfriend. Song of the summer.

Bah. Gonna assume that both her and Fleetwood Mac are the acts who approached the festival to play the big 50 until proven wrong. Arctic Monkeys it is then.

They are, but haven't done anything other than tour their old material for ten years now so it's a bit of a 'why now?' booking. I'm guessing they'll have a new album ready for release next year so that's something, but even still it doesn't feel like your typical Glastonbury headliner booking and they'd more than likely have a pretty dead crowd. All that said, I'll be there front and centre crying my eyes out at finally getting to see Pictures of You live and loving every second of it.

Beat me to it. Love this song. Lana largely does a variation of one thing but damn has she perfected how to do it over time, and these two new singles have gotten me pretty damn excited for this new album.

Really can’t see them sticking Stormzy on before The Cure and it’d be nothing like Dizzee on before U2. Stormzy before Arctics or Madonna imo. His crowd would be embarrassingly bigger than The Cure. It’s a shame that the token mopey sub band were on before Radiohead last year as I’m struggling to think of who they’d stick on before The Cure. Maybe The War on Drugs will actually happen, although I’m not sure they’d want the Pyramid field to be so empty for so long.

Yep it amazes me how it keeps getting better and better. As somebody with mental health problems myself it’s sometimes embarrassing just how much I can relate to and see myself in Bojack. It’s also very funny and very entertaining. Best Netflix original by a mile.
