how is this the most streamed song of 2008? I've never heard it before
Count yourself lucky, it was seemingly inescapable at the time

Any surprises here?
Mario - Let Me Love You for 2004 is a bit surprising (though it's a banger). More streams than Toxic, Yeah! & Burn, Baby Cakes, Just Lose It, Lola's Theme, Take Me Out, Somebody Told Me, Call on Me

Do we think The Big Moon, Lightning Seeds and Black Midi are the BBC Sounds headliners?
Surely Lightning Seeds are just on the Obelisk the same day as Pulp for 90s nostalgia day?!My prediction is Big Moon, Black Midi, Young Fathers headlining BBC Sounds, with Lightning Seeds, Proclaimers, Sophie Ellis Bextor on Obelisk

So why are there now so many people fighting over tickets?
In addition to festivals becoming more popular in general, two things I can think of for GM: festivals becoming an alternative to holidays abroad (and green man being a very popular one for families); and latitude changing significantly, sending its earlier fanbase elsewhere
-
I had BSS as potential Thursday Headliners in my mind, that felt about right to me... I didn't realise they had previously been booked lower down, though!
1 hour ago, SweepingTheNation said:Broken Social Scene played third from top at EOTR in 2016, no way they'd headline a 2023 festival. Chris/Redcar is probably too big.
The Delgados will play this (or EOTR), surely?
I think Chris/Redcar could be about right; after the APE date last time round didn't sell well, I don't know if a significantly bigger festival (one that doesn't consistently sell out anyway) would risk booking him to headline? Also, I think the new name might affect "brand" recognition somewhat

Chucking in an early punt for headliners: Broken Social Scene, Redcar (fka Christine and the Queens), Hot Chip, Suede
I'd also love to see How to Dress Well and Sylvan Esso in the walled garden

Current view of Settlers. Clouds clinging to the mountains, faint drizzle around.
As you can see the field is pretty busy, the area to the right of the second picture is Family camping. It's not completely rammed but there's never been this number of people here at this point. Normally the Family area is half empty before Thursday.
Am I right in thinking they opened up the campsite to people coming via public transport today? Because of the strikes

Got a couple of tickets for the Erased Tapes day, looking forward to every room being the chillout room & then bed by midnight!
Hessle Audio day looks like a great line up for my taste, but can't convince the partner
-
Hope everyone has a great weekend! I couldn't make it this year, but just want to give one last-minute recommendation for Bartees Strange! (Sunrise Arena, 3:45pm today I believe). Saw him in London last night, it was fantastic, and his band were excellent.

Tempting fate I know, but what’s the deal with lake swimming? Do you have to go on the paid tour thing or can you just take your swimmers and have a dip?
In previous years, you could just take your kit and swim in a marked-off area. Busy in the mornings before any of the acts start

If they want to remember JP's legacy without "erasing history" (good or bad), I propose a subtle change: The Peelo

I am not sure if the BBC 6 stage is dj sets though.
Last year it was (with maybe the occasional live electronic act); it's the stage with the large crossed arches, near the entrance

Was happy with a few of the additions, until I noticed Beverly Glenn-Copeland is no longer on there 😢

Kraftwerk / Kiwanuka / Beach House
This seems most likely to me; it’s the order on the poster as well

I quite like it, which is a bit of a shame as I can’t really afford it this year. Groove armada aside, I could probably just go and see gigs for the main acts I’m interested in

Caribou was 11:15pm -12:45am
Mogwai was 11pm - 12:30am
Fontaines was 10:40pm - 11:45pm.
So actually quite late for a UK fest tbh
Thanks! I didn’t have the specific times to hand, I knew that Caribou and Mogwai finished after midnight
-
Last year was my first GM, but I feel like the mountain stage already went refreshingly late compared to lots of festivals. It’s one festival where you could feasibly have a “double headliner” and both are in the dark?
It doesn’t feel unimaginable that they could do that and have Bicep on after Kraftwerk/Metronomy (those being the two more likely imo)

Beverly Glenn-Copeland!!!!!

“Bit by a dead bee” next clue
Foxing have a couple of songs, "Bit by a dead bee" parts 1 & 2, but that's not so much a clue?
'Bit by a dead bee' is the title of Season 2 Episode 3 of Breaking Bad, so maybe Glass Animals

New clue alert. They've just tweeted 50.83304,-0.1814. Which seems to be the longitude and latitude of the Hove area...
More specifically to a co-op…someone on Twitter says Bess Atwell - she has a single called co-op and is from Brighton apparently

Can confirm one correct guess on this list.
I had a conversation with a band after their gig this evening. When I said "I hope they've booked you for Green Man" they went "well, err, um, err" and changed the subject.
That’ll be deathcrash then, happy days

Got all my fingers crossed for Les Savy Fav as well. They’re at Primavera so there’s a slim chance. One of the best bands I’ve ever seen live!
Surely they’ll be in Europe for more than just one festival! I’m just glad that they’re active again, I missed the boat on them the first time round

After our payment failing, then getting back through at the same time as another in our party and both getting kicked out, we were hearing reports it was sold out, our pal finally got through on his phone. We're in!!
