Just found this in the *extremely reputable* Somerset Live: https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife/glastonbury-fleetwood-mac-michael-eavis-3106149

I know we don't put that much stock in what Michael Eavis says, but didn't he mention fairly recently that he'd never forgive RHCP for pulling out in 93?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-50460341 Reckon this journo might read efests: "The star is the first headliner to be confirmed for Glastonbury 2020. Diana Ross will play the Sunday afternoon "legends slot", while other rumoured headliners include Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, The 1975 and Foals."

Agree with everything that's been said here. Band were unbelievable and put on a blinding show, but the crowd were absolutely abysmal. We started off behind a drunk couple who seemingly didn't know any of the songs and then started leaning back on us until we couldn't move (?!) So we moved further back only to be surrounded by a bunch of absolute idiots - constantly talking, complaining about the band, whinging that they were playing slow songs and then drunkenly jumping and shoving when a more upbeat number came on. Spoiled the mood a bit, particularly after having a great time at Elbow the night before with a lovely crowd!

Yeah I thought that was absolutely incredible and I’m by no means a Killers fan. Just had a great mix of singable tunes, cracking visuals and a buzzing atmosphere. Lost my mind when PSB and Johnny Marr came on.

Theatre Bar has Brooklyn Defender IPA, Hackney Hopster pale ale and a white pale ale. There’s also a little ‘brew bar’ down the path between other and pyramid that did cold cans of Brooklyn and Hopster.

Looks like Fontaines have replaced him.

Big Moon adding a bit more fuel to the fire for their 'secret' set. We guessing the Williams Green Thursday or the early Park slot?

Diplo could still rock up for this I guess. Sean Paul has guested on a few Major Lazer tracks.

Not sure if anyone still needs tickets for the Castelfield Bowl show but I just got an email saying that extra tickets have just been released - just managed to bag myself a couple.

Last time there was a tent (I can't remember where - I vaguely remember it being near the Elrow tent?) that sold 'craft' cans from a Swedish brewery - they had a few options but the tastiest was Bee 17. Not sure if they'll be back but they were decently priced (although they only served 330ml cans!)

I was delighted to see some great comedians on this years line-up, with Nish Kumar, Josie Long, Doc Brown, Kerry Godliman, Reggie Watts, Rosie Jones and Phil Wang all on the bill. I've always been determined to spend more time round the theatre side of the fest - does anyone else have any must-sees or interesting tidbits that's worth checking out?

Bill's on William's Green at 17:00 on the Friday

The page here mentions a few other names including Jeff Goldblum, This is the Kit and Kokoroko so presumably they're amongst the duplicated acts for Sunday?: https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/areas/west-holts/

Common lineup is out!
