Same here. It’s become quite the thing. Throw in the Hold Steady, Gaslight Anthem, The National, Drive By Truckers….

You can be ‘just saying’ and do it politely. Your previous post just comes across as you jumping down the throat of someone relatively new who hasn’t posted a lot.

That still gives them a good chance I reckon. Rules them out of Friday but they could still do Saturday or Sunday. Given they were on the 2020 line up still has to be a good shout.

Gutted I missed out on tickets for that. Also surprised they’re not on the Glasto bill so far.

Fingers crossed. That absence was a bit of a blow.

Sigrid is great. Helluva ratio of bangers to duds. She can write a tune.

🙂 Exactly. At various times she’s reminded me of Lush, Hole, the Pixies and, er, Sleeper

Yeah, really enjoying her stuff. Very much hoping to see her.

Oh yeah of course. But it’s a great idea for the reasons you said. In fact, the Glastonbury line up is how I discover music these days. I don’t listen to radio and have got young kids so time is precious. Having a bit of curation helps and going through what’s been announced so far I’m finding Lenny of new stuff I like.

The only way anyone could top the Patti Smith-Dalai Lama combo

Yeah when you see it like that, woah. One for the ages. Could probably headline. Would nail the headline slot and then some.

He can do the story about the mad cat and the Aussie car insurance e reports as skits. Im in for this.

That was great. Really hope they do the drip feed up to the full lineup and times at end of May again.

I imagine there’s plenty. The album was (surprisingly) really good. Hard to follow that up when you can’t tour because of a band members Mental Health struggles though.

I’d say we are. I like Elbow but their stock has dropped a bit since 2014, mainly because their last two albums are really good, but have seen them stop trying to recreate One Day like This. Third top is a great slot for them now. Looking at the line up as announced we could even be missing two. I know we’ve never been in this position after the first poster but that doesn’t mean anything.

I personally find Fender much much more acceptable than the cardigan-wearing smug Ezra-type.

Though for maximum effect it needs the corresponding Pyramid act to be phoning it in/miming/wearing a confused ‘why am I here?’ expression

Doves aren’t active at the minute sadly.😔 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4112g2d9j8o

Macca definitely Eilish definitely not Kendrick possibly but probably not

No problem at all. Happy to pay, worth every penny.

Certainly nobody will ever confuse The Smiths live with Morrissey live

And some. Maybe them against Kendrick with Pet Shop Boys against Macca. Though that doesn’t make much more sense.

Would be huge if they’ve pulled it off and it’s definitely possible. I’m just getting into ‘not getting my hopes up’ mode before the Poster.

I feel like this is an important part of the cycle. There’s a point where hopes start getting up that the festival has pulled off some amazing coups with the Subs, getting headliner acts playing there despite what we know about what the festival pays. Yeah it’s possible in a post-Pandemic scenario they’ve got Styles/Dua/Flo or whoever. Then the line up comes out and it’s equivalents of Vampire Weekend/Nick Cave/Biffy/The National* *I like all 3 of these BTW, they’re just not headlining stadiums

Incredibly excited for this. Saw him at MEN Arena in 2003, he played over 3 hours. One of the few people that is so famous you’re starstruck as soon as he walks on stage. Then there’s so many songs. Totally agree on his band, they were amazing 9 years ago, same at Glastonbury 04, they seem even better now. His voice might be shot but balls to it, it’s Paul McCartney on the Pyramid. This is absolutely the last time this will happen and it will be all about the collective experience, which will be something else. After the last two years, the cancelled festivals and everything else, try and imagine yourself in that field at 9pm Saturday June 25 as the actual real Paul McCartney walks on stage and clangs into A Hard Days Night. I’ve got goosebumps just picturing it.
