Costs £20k to meet the Rolling Stones nowadays, puts into perspective how great value Mick Fleetwood’s presence and contempt really is.

Freddos are now 40p. Really hits home how great value Glastonbury really is.

That picture what Banksy did is worth £2m and that’s just a bit of shredded paper. Puts into perspective how great value Glastonbury is.

Am I being stupid or are the transaction fees for the most expensive tickets £30?!?!
F*cking hell that's ridiculous.
It’s 15% all the way up though. Wouldn’t really be fair to charge 15% on top of the £75 ticket then just 5% on top of the £200 one.

He’s never played. Michael once said he’d been in talks with him and that he was booked to headline the next festival but that never came to pass obviously.

Foals and Royal Blood are both too big for this but then bands like Wolf Alice aren’t big enough, it’s where to strike the balance. Catfish are talked about as the best indie band at the moment and some think TDCC are a future Reading co-headline, so that’s the sort of size we are looking at.
Courteeners are too small down South, The Wombats are probably the perfect size for this but played only two years ago as the sub, if anything I’d put money on them to headline this in 2020. Sort of brings me back to wolf alice but are they big enough to sell 40,000 tickets at Finsbury?
They wouldn't have to. It's a festival - and one which seems to share its strength down the bill rather than being an act plus supports, like the other Finsbury days are designed to be.
I've not really much of a clue as to who a headliner will be, as the only active name that comes to mind is Bastille and they're arguably too big, but they certainly won't be an act who could be expected to sell 49000 on their own. That's the capacity for some stadiums.

Can you actually? Presumably that’s seats?
I think it’s too probably too early, but worth throwing out there as it’s not a world away from Catfish.
Doing something like this is the next logoical step, though it would be better for them to wait until after the third album.
Balcony so yeah its seats I suppose.
There's daylight between them and Catfish - look at the stuff they headline and look at Wolf Alice's festival record. I think they would need to wait for the third album to even be considered for it. If they were playing All Points East next year, it could only be as a sub. But I agree with Jass that they won't be around.

How do we feel about Wolf Alice doing the Friday of the Presents... gigs? Too early?
You can still grab tickets to see them at Brixton...

Yeah whilst I don't think it will really mean anything I did find it interesting that some of those artists are being followed. Especially ones like Tame Impala and Vampire Weekend where you couldn't argue that the reason they were being followed is because Goldenvoice/AEG are promoting a tour of theirs because they've been relatively inactive bar a couple of gigs.
BMTH one interested me the most, because they're unlike everyone else on that list and we've heard now that they were placed at APE by info despite being unlike every other headliner. Maccabees one tho, imagine if they got back together less than two years after the long drawn out farewell lmao.

loads of others too
The Vaccines, Haim, Two Door Cinema Club, Vampire Weekend, Run the Jewels, Solange, Kali Uchis, Jon Hopkins, Pharrell, Kurt Vile, Anna Calvi, Caribou, Tame Impala, The Horrors, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Idles, Years & Years, All We Are, Wolf Alice, The Maccabees, Florence + the Machine, Alabama Shakes, Sunflower Bean, MGMT, Fat White Family, The 1975, Kamasi Washington, Khruangbin, Shame, Arcade Fire, Big Thief, Teenage Fanclub, Alex Cameron, Japanese Breakfast, Primal Scream, TV on the Radio, The Black Keys, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Ariel Pink, David Byrne, Insecure Men, Death Cab for Cutie, Teleman, Bring Me the Horizon, Graham Coxon, Marika Hackman, Mattiel
Those are all the ones I think didn't play this year. Bolded the headline possibilities and there are too many, I guess. Does seem like the only ones they were following before were acts who played but I'm not convinced it has any ultimate bearing.

Saw Boy Azooga last week, fully expect to see them in the JP next year. It was a gig in 3 parts - most of the songs from the (excellent) album, a heavier section which kicked off a surprising mosh pit, and then for an encore, with a load of extra musicians, an extended cover of Boogie Nights. Marvellous.
Spanish garage rockers the Parrots were the first of 2 support bands and were brilliant fun. Hope they're there too (maybe more likely Williams Green).
They've played Crow's Nest at least once. Heavenly Records, U C.

Catfish wasn’t as much of an outlier though. They’re an indie band so they fit a little bit at least. Bring Me aren’t but it’s a new festival and can easily make a change of direction at this stage.

Williams made a pretty good Britpop album back at the start of his career, which usually means carte blanche to headline any given Glastonbury.

It’s like saying Dolly Parton or Lionel Richie fans aren’t at Glastonbury.
Those are completely benign acts that were treated by many as a novelty - load of festivals have those. Craig David and probably Shaggy fall into that category also.
Take That aren't much of a novelty at all; they're one of the British acts of all time, haven't left the TV screen since they reunited and are kings amongst those people you know that don't get why you'd go to a muddy music festival and have known two or three headliners in the past decade. Them being given a slot would be perhaps the single most self-destructive booking Glastonbury could make and herald the end of the festival as we know it.

new Hinds tune, v nice. following on from already dropping one of my favourite albums of this year they are absolutely on top form.
I like. They have certainly upped their game with the new album. Reaction to them still seems fairly marmite but I'm bout it.
Wondering to myself why there are so many stock images of different subcultures using laptops.

Pink wouldn’t headline Glastonbury the same way Michael Buble wouldn’t. Big acts but it’s not the same crowd.
The zeitgeist or “cultural importance” factor has come up on here before too, but most people don’t seem to get it. Sheeran, Gaga, Adele, yes they sell lots of records and tickets, but they also have some effect on culture. People make jokes about them at the pub, they get thinkpeices written about them, everyone has an opinion one way or the other. Pink just sells, and that’s typically not enough to headline Glastonbury. Hopefully that doesn’t change.
I completely get what you mean but I'm not sure whether it applies to Pink. Unlike Buble and Take That and stuff, she's been doing festivals all this time, and is actually headlining Werchter instead of being bundled of to Werchter Boutique (like Bruno Mars, Robbie and Madonna) which must say something about her being able to integrate with normal festival fare. I don't know really - it would certainly be surprising but not as utterly bewildering as other choices may be.

Moving away from Fmac and back to Kacey Musgraves - she's a huge star now and should absolutely be given a slot...somewhere decent. Pyramid for sure.
I'm a duffer at anything slightly in the realms of country (so i follow the excellent Highway Queens on Twitter for my 'ins').
Have they directed you towards Courtney Marie Andrews yet?
Eric Clapton?

He hasn’t played that one since the 70’s!
