What does this mean?
I like a lot of acts recently announced, in particular Foxing - who haven’t played Latitude before.
As soon as I can afford to, I’m getting tickets to either latitude or green man festival

What have their sexual organs got to do with where they go on the lineup? Do people chose who they see based on gender? Seems a bit, sexist.
The music industry is sexist, and a 6:3 m/f headliner ratio (7:3 if you count underworld) suggests that sexual organs do in fact have influence over where acts place on a line up.
I’m not who you originally replied to but to answer your second question, wanting to support women in a male dominated field is not my definition of sexist

Lots of good stuff in there for me, most have cropped up at the fest before but I strongly recommend Foxing - some great alt-rock, ffo: Hail to the Thief/In Rainbows, or Br*nd New if the singer wasn't an abuser.
This and/or Green Man and I'm set for a lovely summer

They could be at trnsmt instead
They are at two festivals in Spain trnsmt weekend. They could do Spain/Spain/Scotland (or reverse), but based on dates alone, latitude seems more suitable for scheduling imo

I hate to tell you but Michael Collins died in 1922.
No wonder he stayed onboard Apollo 11 then

I know this is a music forum, but blink twice if Michael Collins/Buzz Aldrin is on the line up

Me plus two or three (if he can budget it) non-forumers signing up.
Got to bed at 4:15, up at 8:50 for nowt, because the booking page crashed twice when we had got to it

I've heard that for London there maybe, but my experience is no. You get what you are given. I have learnt not to be fussed about departure times, getting that golden ticket is the priority. Once you know you are on the way the timing is merely a detail.
Wouldn’t be a problem for me only but some in my ticket party are notoriously bad for showing up on time. I suppose as long as I get on the coach I’ll be ok. Thanks
-
Sorry if this has been mentioned on previous pages, but is there a way of finding out coach times before this evening? Not sure about stressing to try and get tickets then get some that leave/arrive at a silly time

What on Earth are you on about?
That’s a prediction for headliners.
As an aside, they might have stayed in the pods you were asking about. A not very funny or obvious joke, because I get bored at work
-
Bastille/Catfish, Lana del Rey, Thom Yorke
possible headliner trio, also reckon they’re the type to have stayed in the pods before

They did take a risk on a headliner, they got a huge ton of negative comments from everyone, Emily got death threats and another act they have been chasing for years and probably one of their biggest ever bookings pulled out of the festival that year.
I remember Dave Grohl clarifying that the reason he broke his leg was because he was scared of being upstaged by Kanye

Ah I didn't go in 2016, so didn't know that. Shame really. I've seen her twice now and can't help feel she'd do a decent job. Perhaps a sub for AM then or the Cure.
BTW why are those 3 backed so much in the last few pages? Including Macca with that*Different sources giving Neil bits of info that suggest each of them, Cure and McCartney have got surrounding tour dates as well

Glastonbury will probably get them next time around. Think they're a dead cert for Reading/Leeds at this point. Baffling to me that people still don't think they could headline, but I suppose until a band headlines a festival a lot of people aren't going to see them as festival headliners.
They’ve headlined latitude and parklife (maybe more?)

Be good of they did a year of heritage acts this year then for the 50th cracked on with newer acts as a sort of toast to the future rather than an episode of looking back. Stormzy, Foals and Swifty with some heavy undercards to sell it.
Won't happen but it's so much more fun an idea than the year of arguing about wether led zep and pink Floyd will do it that we're guaranteed to have.
1975 instead of Foals and Ariana instead of T Swift for me but I like the idea

Although not directly Glastonbury related, the fact that Rock Werchter (Belgium biggest festival) moved the festival a week earlier to Glastonbury weekend make me think it can't be the Cure, Macca and AM or other recent suggestion. Last time RW moved their festival was to get the Foo Fighters in 2015 as they were unavailable the next weekend (although it was announced months after they announce the original date, unlike this year). They wont be moving it for Macca (didnt sell-out the festival's Thursday in 2016, albeit the hardest day to sell out - Foos were the last one to do it) or for AM (co-headlined this year) or for the Cure (who will indeed headline but wont be the reason for moving the festival as they're not massive). Of course there's a chance that the reason the festival moved is not related to a certain band or a that the certain band will play at Glastonbury too, but I think its unlikely. The festival occurs on the first weekend of the summer vacation so moving it can hurt ticket sales. So my belief is at least one of those headliners is not on the rumor page right now.
The Cure, Oasis, McCartney in that order.
All the petition lads can sign themselves some mates instead and fill the pyramid field for the weekend. I’ll be elsewhere

Can we stop talking about R.E.M. please?
As someone of the younger generation who really likes them, I don’t need the constant reminder they’re not gonna headline. Despite this they’d be a more worthy and better headliner than the cure

Anyone heard anything about the rules on BBQs his year. We normally take two or three disposable jobs but was wondering given the weather lately if there might be a blanket ban this year?
They’d never ban blankets don’t worry ?
seriously though I don’t think they banned bbqs when there was a very dry year in 2013(or thereabouts), so I’d imagine if you’re careful keeping it off the ground you’ll be fine

The programmes used to be amazing. You could pre-order one and it would arrive with your tickets, giving you chance to really check out everything going on and get your plan together weeks before the festival. They cost £10 but we're well worth it as it was a quality product. They were small in size (about 15x15cm) but bulky thickness.
I didn't go last year but I'm not sure they still do a physical version (maybe they still sell them onsite). But the app has all the same info, should have times added this week and will be completely up to date.
Regards the 'iconic' secret surprise this year. I have a feeling it might be Florence & her machine. She has previous with Latitude and has a break in her tour after the Germany gig on the Friday so would be free Saturday or Sunday.
This is only my guess, not my desire. I'd rather it was any one of the other icons mentioned. But it would probably please the Latitude demographic.
Just worth a mention if you’re inclined towards the later DJs on a particular night double check the app with the physical program or ask the DJs on twitter.
They’ve had problems occasionally with scheduling, I think the app gets confused by timings after midnight (ie 1-2am Friday night might be put on Saturdays schedule because technically it is)

There are ways in which we perhaps unknowingly contribute to racist/sexist/homophobic power structures, though.
See above, the EasyJet pay gap isn’t due to “sexism” (ie employers specifically paying men more than women) alone, it’s more due to a structure that has historically led to imbalances such as women being pigeonholed into essentially service industry jobs (cabin crew) while the highly skilled and highly paid jobs are filled by men. The “other variables” alluded to are sexist, they’re just a bit more difficult to pin down.
These are the ways in which we’re sexist/racist/homophobic. It’s not enough that you and I don’t use slurs, we need to identify and challenge the unfair power structures where we can rather than contributing to the status quo
