    I love The Killers - well documented on here, I think - but struggle to see what they would even bring in terms of difference to that 2019 setlist.

    I'd argue they've put out half-a-dozen genuinely great songs since then - Pressure Machine, as a record, definitely made for a step in their storytelling songcraft - but save Caution, cannot see any of them either edging into the set, or remotely fussing an audience when they get rolled out.

    This new compilation record omits Smile Like You Mean It, For Reasons Unknown and Shot at the Night, but includes Dying Breed. Madness.

    It is 100% not them, but rumours are that the 2024 tour is a Hot Fuss 20th anniversary tour

    She mentioned Glastonbury in her BRITs speech in May 2021 so it definitely didn't drop immediately out of her conscience after Folklore/Evermore

    We've had so many amazing memories inn the last 15 years, from playing Shepherd's Bush Empire, to playing the O2 Arena, to playing Wembley Stadium, and hey, because of you, last year I almost played Glastonbury so. But, we all know what happened next, the world changed and I ended up putting out three albums instead.

    So, given that the only solid info we have is "female" -

    Cher
    Stevie Nicks
    Joni Mitchell
    Carole King
    Gladys Knight
    Annie Lennox

    Any other obvious contenders?

    Shania Twain - has said recently how much she wants to do it, and is active

    Altho I was told by the LA Times that the Sahara tent was for up and coming bands, don't know why Blink are on that one. And early too.

    They're a late 'surprise' addition. Arcade Fire were added in a similar slot last year when the timetables were released

    Definitely aren't playing the Other, or at all? 

    At all. Said they were hoping to headline Other either 2019 or 2020 but didn't get the call... got offered the secret set quite late as there was no other room for them in either year. He seemed pretty bummed about it.

    him saying "we're in greece the day before" is really weird...

    i mean glasto is an entire weekend thing, that seemed oddly specific, and perfect for that John Peel Sunday slot

    I found that weird as well - doubt someone like Brandon Flowers would know the exact date of a festival they weren't playing. The fact that he knew they would have to leg it from Athens to get there is interesting...

  15. Shuttle Bus to Buy Alcohol

    in Chat

    Posted

    Last year we got the shuttle into Shepton Mallet for this purpose on Wednesday afternoon. We waited a while to get on a bus at Gate A, but only because we didn't think to check the timetable and got there just after one had left.

    As someone has said it drops you off right at Tesco - they were very well stocked - I'd say they know pretty well how much stock they would need for that weekend. We had the choice of going leisurely and waiting an hour for the next shuttle to pick us up or rush around for 10 minutes to get the same shuttle bus back. We opted to rush and it worked out fine.

    If you know the timetable and if you know what you want so you can shop quickly, you shouldn't be off site for more than 90 minutes.

    On the 'bands' comment:

    If that came from Michael I'd be incredibly suspicious, but I think Emily is more likely to choose her words carefully. If one of the headliners was a solo act, she could easily have said 'three British artists/acts'. I think it's very likely that by saying 'bands' she actually means bands. Adele isn't a band.

    She also said last night that PJ Harvey last played in 1994 (it was 2004). Also worth bearing in mind that the Metro article was published before the NME Awards was even finished last night, so may not have been a direct quote given it was rushed through.
