  1. But this comes from the view that a huge chunk of the attendees aren’t coming from London? I think Glastonbury booking what’s big in London is booking in line with their attendees. I’m sure they have data to back up who is buying tickets and from where. This just sounds to me like people being challenged by things they don’t know and resisting it.
  2. It’s a bad idea in the same way that Kendrick and PSB is a bad idea. Two popular acts. Some clashes suck. That’s just how it goes.
  3. I think this argument is absolutely pants lol. Glastonbury has had world focused music up and down its lineup for ages. You only need to take one stroll through silver hayes or the south east corner to see how diverse the music at glasto is and how afrobeats has always had a place. Also - it’s just wrong that a huge chunk of the attendees aren’t from London, Bristol, Manchester etc where this scene is massive. It isn’t a little Somerset fete anymore.
  4. Genuine question on the afrobeats thing… who do you think attends this festival? Do you think it’s just people from the local areas that come? I won’t be surprised if people from London, Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol etc make up the majority of the attendees. Have no idea how someone can swing a “big in London but not big at Glastonbury” argument.
  5. Is afrobeats not dance music?
  6. Regardless it isn’t true
  7. And that person also said orbital who were ruled out today
  8. Don’t think Burna has played a stadium here.
  9. And that person also said Orbital. Who are not playing.
  10. A lot of people on here haven’t heard of any new act until they are mentioned on here. Dunno why they think the festival is going to forever stand still and only book acts they know.
  11. Because your music taste and knowledge only is the only one out there. Could you name a handful of acts in the charts right now?
  12. Well if one of them is wrong then a clash makes no sense. Can’t see the Prodigy against GNR. Plus, we’ve never actually heard a solid piece of info saying the Prodigy are there.
  13. It doesn’t look like the Prodigy are headlining the other so the question is whether they are playing somewhere else or not playing at all. Them subbing the pyramid is also just not happening.
  14. What about afrobeats instead of EDM?
  15. Well yeah but I imagine they just drop an email to someone senior at the guardian a few hours in advance saying it’s coming so the guardian can deploy a minion to type it all up as fast as they can.
  16. Nothing to do with organised or not. They just don’t need to overwork themselves getting the major outlets to like them. Whenever they drop a lineup the press prioritises the story. They are in a fortunate position.
  17. Glastonbury doesn’t need an organised press strategy because the press comes to them.
  18. I wonder if they didn’t want to give them OS and thus they didn’t agree
  19. Professional bridesmaids
  20. I’m not going to disagree with you on this - there are a lot of glaring omissions I’d say (acts just not touring Europe, and some I thought would be no brainers somehow not being around at all). But yeah I think in the grand scheme of things Glastonbury have had solid pickings from what is available.
  21. We do this every year. There is no pattern but we usually get the poster around balance week. It drops when it’s ready. They probably don’t even have a date yet. Just a rough idea of when they hope it go live.
  22. Late March/April. During the balance window I think.
