Expect a fair few of these will be on the smaller stages - Vistas, Lola Young, Gracey, Kawala, Noisy etc.

New album is out 14th April apparently, which seems crazy soon

Do you guys really have that many perfect albums? I find most have at least a couple duff songs I'd rather skip.

Her and Glass Animals are two major ones who I can't see not being bumped up to at least Other

That and at this point I'd argue Doja is more of a pop act anyway? Sure she has rap songs but most people I imagine know her for her pop hits.

In fairness, The Streets are also headlined Victorious and topped the JP last time they played each fest respectively. Admittedly it was rammo so I doubt they would want to repeat that situation

Could they be doing both? Spider replacing one of the fields down in the SEC or something?

Just an assumption from the 2020 playlists at the moment

Maybe I'm wrong but I though Charli was confirmed for Saturday as well? And therefore Primal Scream must have been on before her? I'm sure someone with a better memory will correct me if I am wrong....

Primal Scream werent headlining the JP in 2020 so wouldnt be suprised if they werent doing it again this year either....

From the event description:

Unfortunately she is already occupied on that day

But you can make that point differently then. Its not "oh I know better than you", its hey guys, Ive had a look at some of his tour dates and hes playing some pretty big venues. You dont have to bring the rest of the "efestivals bias" into it

Cmon Matt this is getting a bit silly now. I quite often agree with your points (re. Doja/Meg), and you do get some unfair criticism, but some of your posts are baffling and I dont see how you cant read them as offensive... "I doubt many people on here listen to Burna Boy so they don’t understand his size. I don’t listen to him but I’m aware that he’s a big deal. " is so needlessly passive aggressive. The way its phrased gives the impression that you believe you are superior to everyone else - everyone else is blind to their biases but you are the one chosen one who can see above it. Thank god you are sharing your wisdom with us peasants... Just act normal and say you think others are underestimating his size.

Dont really understand why Meg is more likely to be given the sub slot than Burna who clearly has more in common with Dave/Stormz.... This argument could also be used for The Streets though who were headlining fests like Victorious the same year they headlined the JP (admittedly it was rammed)

Damn, I believe that 4th Phoebe Brixton date makes her the first female act ever to sell out 4 nights at Brixton (as iirc Simz was the first to do 3 nights last year). Maybe she's too big to do anything but Pyramid/Other at this point...

Also, jsut seen Neil has updated the lineup page to put Khruangbin on the Park (would they headline that?) and Griff on West Holts (Seems like a weird combo to me)

Skunk Anansie are Saturday so that at least rules them out

In which case I think we must nearly have that full days lineup.... ??? (Nostalgia Opener) < Sleaford Mods < Metronomy < St. Vincent < Blossoms < Sam Fender < ??? < Foals

dreading a Chris Brown feature

Yeah, I have no idea how I managed to inception myself into believing that they were.... Apologies!

About that.....

Yes

Not that I have seen, just that they were Sunday West Holts. Unless Matt wants to insta message him to find out?....

That would push Angelique down to third, Nightmares on Wax to fourth and Snarky Puppy (who are playing Wembly Arena) down to fifth?? Seems unlikely to me....
