Don’t want Nine Inch Nails anymore. Playing the American equivalent of Download.

I doubt when he’s 55 we’ll be talking about him at all. Not sure if he’s enough of a bust flush to take one of those late-afternoon pop slots now. Maybe.

Show them the lineup.

No guff, daddio.

100,000 people belting out My Heart Will Go On is exactly the reason the slot should be axed.

Fair. I think that will happen. Possibly by accident on an existing Silver Hayes stage or possibly as a relaunch of one of the stages under a new banner. I don't know what you mean by 'alternative hip hop artists' though in this context. They're probably gonna do it for ones gaining some mainstream traction (like the current setup with those days on Silver Hayes) rather than filling up a bill with the likes of Bruiser Wolf, Your Old Droog, etc.

I'd suggest being ready on time anyway, just in case.

On my first scan of the poster I did actually think to myself "why have they put TLC Turnstile?" until the penny dropped.

Could see this coming but I'm surprised they didn't wait until album release week in April. Probably announce Wembley Stadium when the album is out at this rate.

Oh okay, hadn't seen that. I had seen on her website she had '24th-25th' and assumed what I just said. Two chances to see her would be cool because if she's headlining a stage then I'm missing it.

Maybe. She has form for popping up absolutely everywhere you look. I'm more inclined to think her team are preemptively avoiding confusion for fans when that show on the 26th gets announced.

Does anyone go to 4am Hell Stage slots? I start early - I have no energy for that shit at that time.

But if it’s not in some way spelt incorrectly, is it an EDL flag at all?

March 14th has been reported for announcement. Might start to tease later this week.

Depends on the act. Some can entertain a big crowd waiting for someone else, some you’d rather a (mostly) focused experience. Plus obviously if it’s, say, Hot Chip or The Chemical Brothers where you go in search of a climactic party then headlining the stage is preferable.

Do you put it down once you’ve all found each other?

Flags for some, miniature American flags for others

I was thinking I hadn't discovered anyone from the poster drop on Friday but Sampa is someone I hadn't listened to before she was on the 2020 poster so that technically counts. Hoping I can manage to see her. If she brings this sort of energy, she'll steal the weekend.

He was billed with Yussef Dayes before though, right? Doesn't have tour dates with him anymore so pretty understandable.

The Sun reporting it now, as well as the Anfield date.

Hasn't played Park. Not sure if he's played West Holts/Jazz World but would be surprised.

Yeah, flags suck. An outright ban or 'no flags beyond this point' type thing would be cool.

This was kinda Tupac tbf. He was corny, admit it. Rap is obviously bigger than ever but honestly the 'fun' hip hop is the best stuff currently. There are some proper maudlin, miserable rappers making waves right now. Then there's Megan, who has the wit of Eminem in his prime. Proper catch-you-off-guard one-liners in there. Really fun and listenable stuff. Doja is quality too, but in a laid back Kendrick kinda way. She gets lumbered with some generic beats sometimes but she has enough personality to keep you entertained. Confident both will rock it at Glastonbury. Free your mind dude, and your ass will follow.

Maybe. Huey has since left the band though, so wouldn't expect them to be back.
