Danny Brown is going to be amazing - Dip is another one which I think he plays Live.

Yeah, even then you can guarantee a resale will sell out - so there's no rush to release new information.

Have we ever had an area drop partway through the window? I could probably look on Thingy - but since the lineup has been debated a lot perhaps this would help to persuade people to pay up.

Stages all too far away from each other, absolute p*ss take that I have to walk to see music that I'VE PAID FOR

Really pleased with the lineup personally aside the Pyramid headliners, which I think lacks any sort of 'wow' factor but I realise there were circumstances that put SZA in that position. I'm really happy to see acts on the poster that I missed or neglected in previous years, so I've counted 18 I'm looking forward to seeing See you on the farm!

Agreed, I’ll only be seeing Coldplay as Pyramid headliner but there’s a huge amount else I’m excited about!

You might be the first person to be banned from Oxfam 😂

Not entirely true - Billie Joe Armstrong attended in 2022 to support his Son’s band who were playing one of the small stages. Only a small link of course but he’ll likely be on the Eavii radar at least by extension. The bigger issue is GD have back to back shows the entire weekend - I can’t see an early evening slot as they’ll need to be at their own shows for sound check etc. I’ve booked to see them in Manchester due to this.

I mean right now Glastonbury may as well not exist as we don’t have a single name - so for this year there’s nothing to back that up, but hopefully once it drops I’ll be onboard!

To me, beginning of the year could mean Q1 which ends on March 31st. We could be close or still very far!

Absolutely, people could easily ask when the lineup is coming too.

Sampha at Green Man 😍 missed him years ago and always regretted it, fingers crossed he’s playing Glasto

This as well as Shangri-La and the random KOL upload from 2008… it must be very soon. We’ve had a few self confirmation as of late too!

That's a good point, GFL are getting to some predictability now. All we can do is enjoy the journey!

Do we actually have sufficient evidence of anything though? it's all fairly well argued theories but we've had radio silence from GFL so there's nothing official to base anything on. I guess we've had the occasional rumour from people on the inside as well as blocked out dates...

Could they have been (or still are) waiting to see how Stevie's health is as to if he can play or not, hence delayed announcement? Would make sense.

https://consequence.net/2024/01/festival-headliner-underwhelming-2024/ Very interesting article around the sentiment of underwhelming headliners and a conversation around why that is. It’s mostly US festivals but Glastonbury is used as an example of mostly playing it safe. It seems to be a mix of factors such as booking cost, most acts have played major festivals before and big acts no longer perform live or see it as downmarket to play festivals.

Good to see Danny Brown on here potentially. Wale would be amazing but I'm aware he's only featured on one song so unlikely - he heavily collaborated with Kid Cudi around 2005-2010.

How do you mean? Has something been announced or do you mean the lineup for 2023?

Yep and I think a lot of smaller festivals have very good headliners this year. Perhaps part of the issue is that Glasto don't pay particularly well. I saw an article which suggested acts are realising they can make far more money from their own tours instead of festivals, so perhaps this contributes.

It's either this and they're struggling to book some acts, or they've decided to wait because the headliners/legend don't justify their own announcements. Being less cynical, they might be trying to build excitement as Emily has often said she would like to do a bigger drop instead of drip feeding. I'm personally finding it very annoying as I like using this time to research the acts whilst i'm working. I have tickets and this will be my 10th year, but I may cancel if the acts aren't my thing as I'm also moving house so the funds are needed.

Source: trust me bro

2013/2014 IIRC. It was a great show and the only time I've seen them.

All are good points but I could also see all of those being feasible - entirely depends on the act. It's very likely fake as also would a GFL employee just leave the lineup open on their screen? Also the tradesmen would surely realise that there'd be consequences to leaking information from the offices.

19 I'd see on here so would personally be thrilled. Looks very professional and names are all realistic, there's some house bands there as well as curveballs and acts people would love to return.
