The latter are exclusive, so it definitely does.
Isn’t the ‘exclusive’ tag a bit flimsy though? I’m sure Future Islands were billed as exclusives at Green Man in 2017 but played Glastonbury too.

It's going to be really interesting who headlines the other big stages around the festival this year. If they are popular it could be record low numbers at the pyramid. Then again, perhaps, I'm totally misjudging it and talking shite and this set of headliners are far more popular than I'm giving them credit for.
The Killers will have the biggest crowd of the festival.

Is The Strokes headlining that unlikely? Certainly there have been weirder headliners in the past (Skunk Anansie and Rod Stewart to name but two). Might just be that they thought they had Macca lined up and went that went awry, and perhaps Ga Ga was contacted but to no avail, the Strokes were available and thus booked.

Nothing new here (I dont think) but I'm starting to feel like these Love-less lads are a close to a sure thing:
Hope you’re right. The Fannies on the Park would be a moment. Although I thought they were nailed on in 2017, too...

Love with Arthur Lee did Forever Changes in full in 2003 but don't recall of hearing of anyone else doing an album at Glastonbury.
Primal Scream did Screamadelica in 2011.

Bon Iver can stink up the Other Stage like he did in 2009. Fleet Foxes can go there too. Its the West Holts Stage. Not the bedwetters stage.
I quite like Bon Iver, and Fleet Floxes, but 100% agree with this.

I can tell already I’m going to be fighting a losing battle with “Noel Gallagher is not playing Glasto 2019”.
I took it to mean 2020 too. No way Noel would agreee to go below Liam on the bill, nor would Glastonbury have two Gallagher’s subbing the Pyramid in the same year. Unless he’s headlining the Other Stage, which doesn’t seem right to me. Makes more sense for him to be subbing the Pyramid on the 50th anniversary, which would keep his ego sweet, massive bell end that he is.

Same. Been going since 2010, though missed 2013. My excitement grows every year. Best place on earth.

just had a report from our man at Download.
He says Security is very thorough. Full bag search on everyone. Checking wristbands thoroughly and asking for photo id with press guests.
He reckons it'll add 90 minutes to queues when its peak times.
Would 11am on Wednesday still count as a peak time?

What sort of music does Thom play in his DJ sets? Was expecting the sort of glitchy stuff I find it impossible to dance to but that Once in a Lifetime mention has got me intrigued!

You could cut this cake a number of ways. Before they threw in the towel Jarvis and The Pulps were in 'couldn't get arrested' mode. It was only a decade's worth of accumulated nostalgia that rode them up the flagpole again.
Really? Last album was received somewhat lukewarmly admittedly but they always had a certain status that elevated them above the landfill, I thought. Though the mists of time and me being a massive fan might be skewing my recollection.

Got two for £15 last year.

There was nothing to eat or drink except cider and wheat crunchies.
Sounds alright.

I agree. We should leave well alone.
Of course it will lead to dictators like Saadam and Gadaffi torturing/killing/gassing their own people, but it's their business eh?
Who armed Saadam in the first place? And the Taliban. And the Saudis who are bombing the hell out of innocents in Yemen. We're up to our knees in this shit.

Bushy Ground feels too remote, as if you're pitched in a separate camping area like those at Reading, and V. And a bit too quiet for my tastes.

Some guys who weren't core workers there were taking advantage and have now been given the boot (in one case literally). There may be others who take advantage next year, but they will be dealt with accordingly.
Paddynavvie is going as a punter this year and hopes to see us at some glasto landmarks. Jeremy Corbyn was somewhere (that has me defeated).He's suggesting that Jeremy Corbyn was a member of the Provisional Irish Republican Army.
