So this sounds exactly like what happened in 2012 for the 2013 festival. Only that year, it was a load of eFesters sharing and using the trick. And do you know, I don't remember any angry calls on here for tickets to be cancelled or statements to be issued - not one!

Main playlist has been updated as we've gone along - new acts at the end and various artists updated based on recent setlists:

Dunno about this one with a hangover
Clashfinder has them at 2.30, we'll be ready I'm sure

Using one of the 'sorting' apps I've split the big playlist into 2 playlists, of the mellower stuff and the more upbeat stuff:

I counted them up last week. As I am quite dull, and 506 tickets on resale. Going to be plenty of room.
Wow, that's tons! Prices will drop over the weekend I expect

Just had a look on Twickets - woah, that is a lot of tickets available!
Not sure people listing tickets at face value are going to get much joy...
Yeah, I'm surprised prices are still so high. I'm sure they were lower across the board by this point last year. I know some have gone for 25%+ below face value already, and they're bound to go down as we get closer to the fest.

I’ve always loved their lighter stuff. It’s only my dislike of Ezra’s singing voice that will keep me there if it’s all metal.
It definitely won’t be all metal, maybe a third at most. But the majority is likely to be on the heavier side, and I wouldn’t expect anything acoustic. That said, they definitely have the ability to surprise!

For anyone who is unsure on how to dive into the King Gizzard Discography:
https://www.get-into-gizz.com/
Seen them live 3 times now, both festival and gig - always a varied set with some heavy, a 'suite' of some kind, and some chiller more relaxed tracks - often with a lot of jam in them.
This website takes you on a 'choose your own adventure' style game to help you explore the massive discography they currently have. 24 studio albums, 15 live albums, 5 compilations, 3 EPs and a remix album. I see Gila Monster is a common song in a lot of the playlists for EOTR popping up on Spotify/Tidal - but that album (PDA) is definitely one of, if not THE heaviest music they have out. So don't be discouraged if its not your thing.
All the fans are pretty chill people too, always a pleasure meeting fellow Gator Gang members at festivals!That site is great, thanks.
As someone who's made a setlist-based playlist, they've definitely been consistently leaning towards the heavier stuff in live shows - Gila Monster and Gaia are both among their most played live tracks (with only Magenta Mountain and maybe Magma being capable of being described as mellow). Here's hoping we get a long set at EOTR which allows them to show the full scope of their repetoire.

... and again to add the new acts (stuck them at the end to make them easier to find)

Here's a big Spotify playlist for this - every act in poster order, the 2-5 songs they've played most live the last year or so, to give the best preview of their EOTR sets (in the style of my usual Glasto ones). Loads of interesting acts lower down, find yourself some new faves:
I posted this before but it’s got lost in the lineup thread so thought I’d stick it here.
If anyone has any comments on the above, or any other playlists to recommend, stick em here.
Updated this for a whole bunch of acts based on recent setlists.

That vegan gelato place is incredible. Went there every day of glasto this year and last year. Gonna have to put in extra steps each day to compensate
Assuming that’s the one that was near the top of the Park last year, yes it was fantastic. Excellent news!

You sure she played glasto this year?
Ah, she was there but I think may have just been a DJ set.

All this talk of chairs reminded me our blow up sofa finally died last year...have to slum it this year I think.
If you're flying over you want one of those thing that you just whoosh about to fill with air and tie the end....nice and light and perfectly serviceable for coffees/beers back at the tent
Thought about getting one of these but read that basically they’re all crap & leak a lot of air. Are you saying otherwise?

Many thanks for your work & listening on shuffle. There’s a few tracks I would add which might give a better representation of some of these artists’ more recent releases. These are all great songs in my view & should feature prominently in their live sets:
greentea peng - hu man
say she she - reeling & c’est si bon
charlotte cornfield - in my corner, skating by the lake & the magnetic fields
kara Jackson - dickhead blues
samia - kill her freak out & honey
biig piig - kerosene
yeule - sulky baby & dazies
panic shack - the ick
Hey thanks v much for this! I checked all these acts on setlist.fm and swapped in the majority of these tracks, where they were most or joint-most played live this year. Not all of them though - your fave songs has to be another playlist!
Surprised that Greentea Peng’s Glasto set from this year is not on setlist.fm - does anyone have the setlist or a recording of the set?

One for you, thirsty reader. This year our craft selection will be headed up by the excellent Lost and Grounded Brewersol BeBristol Beer Factoryed in, you guessed it, Bristol.
Lost & Grounded are fascinated by the precision of German brewing and the idiosyncratic nature of Belgian beer. From their flagship Keller Pils through to the delicious Apophenia, we have a range of brews to keep you coming back for more.
Bristol Beer Factory’s mission is to brew to unite people and communities over world-class hops, inspiring people to demand and drink progressive, independent beer. They’re bringing an exquisite selection including Laser Juice - a session IPA supercharged with new-wave hop energy that will take you to the New Mexico mountains; Clear Head, for the ones looking for a 0.5% alcohol-free option and many more.
If you missed out on tickets, you can visit both breweries’ socials to be in with the chance to win a pair of tickets, some beers and more. See you down the front!
Apophenia is a 8.8% Belgian Trippel! Imagine that’ll only be in the beer fest tent, and will be gone by Fri pm

Interesting. Is it any good?
The usual overpriced crafty pisswater?
Bristol Beer Factory session IPA at 4.2% is unlikely to be anything too exciting, but the previous Two Tribes stuff is pretty bland so I'm all up for a change.

There's no reason Gabriels wouldn't have been announced, especially after pulling out last year.
I would guess Amyl playing Green Man so high ruled them out. As I keep saying, if they didn't share artists that high up the bill in 2021 they won't now.
Just because they didn't share acts in 2021 doesn't mean they won't do so this year or in the future - they could potentially have agreed on the basis they're not announced until after GM. Simon's comment about them did strike me as a bit odd, there could be more to it and/or it might have led the band to want to play. (Although the logistics coming from Bristol are probably still too difficult).
I agree about Gabriels, but there was no reason why Shame or the other surprises in previous years weren't announced.

It's not impossible but it depends how early they are at Forwards - they'd have to completely load out, take a journey Google Maps tells me is a bit more than an hour and a half in good conditions, then be loaded in by around 6.30pm.
Plus, like the Walkmen, Amyl are sub-headlining Green Man, I don't think they'd play EOTR as well.
Simon did make that (slightly odd) comment to the Grauniad about how Amyl would have been "perfect" but he apparently couldn't get them. Yet now here they are playing well down at a Bristol festival the same day.
Although, looking at that Forwards lineup, surely Gabriels or Ezra Collective from the Friday are more likely to make the drive over.

Wet Leg is an interesting shout as the mystery band because (and I say this as a positive), they're a band who are very aware of their own mystique, and this very much fits their idiom. The thing putting me off is that a long slot for how long their shows usually are
We don't actually know how long the slot is, do we? The clashfinder is just using last year's times.

Aaaarrrgggh, I don't seem to be able to edit the above post to correct the egregious spelling mistake

So here's a summary of Top 10s to date with 86 different acts featuring.
Personally I'm a little surprised how low Ezra is in the list. I wonder how many would now include Crack Cloud, who hadn't been announced when most of us posted - certainly they would now be in my Top 10. Also noted that this year's Wet Leg (aka The Last Dinner Party) hasn't got much traction with us.
Ezra clearly suffering from the clash with King Gizzard, otherwise he'd be up there for me and I'm sure a lot of others.
23 hours ago, Yoss said:I'm not having that.
Me neither. Not much in common apart from their both hyped female-fronted acts who could be called indie (TLDP less so than WL). Rhian from WL has been around for years, TLDP are entirely new (AFAIK), and they don't sound much alike. TLDP have had nothing like 'Chaise Longue' either.

Just got the sold out email too - some people were hoping that ??? might be revealed with that email, but no such luck. Good on them for doing a decent job of creating a bit of mystery!
The cynic in me thinks ??? might not actually be booked yet...

Wide Awake festival 2024
in other UK festivals

I've made a playlist for this, all the acts in (new) poster order, with songs selected being as far as poss those they've played most often at recent shows (ie like the big playlists I used to do for Glastonbury)
