Still in! Cheers!

What a lovely record. Dessner influence feels precious, but Taylor driving it forward with emotive lyricism that not many can match. This is another flash of real colour in the kaleidoscope of her career. Do not envy trying to put together a set list for her shows.

Kiwanuka gonna have to bring home the prize. Would be made up for Kano too, a seriously good body of work there too. any betting markets?

To be honest, with the wealth of talent in pace England have, I probably wouldn’t bother with a spinner. Root can turn his arm over a bit instead.

Roskilde now sharing that Thom Yorke and Whitest Boy Alive are both exclusive to the festival. There’s no clarification what kind of exclusive, but I’d hate for that to mess with West Holts schedule.

Roskilde chucking Thom Yorke and Tyler back in the mix for Glasto with their announcement. + others.

She played in 2019, and only had that B side record new, I believe. Too soon for a comeback, I’d guess.

Madonna would be a nice surprise but not gonna do much to manage expectations. Think 1975 / Arctics / Coldplay is a very safe selection - but can’t see them not having some women at the top table. Did we all agree last year the Strokes wouldn’t be up to headlining anymore? Also a wild shout for Bob Dylan, gearing up with a new release?

The info saying Swift wants to wait another year. Is it likely she’d still be touring Lover by that point? Two and a half years old if not more.

iirc, Don’t Pitchfork curate a stage too, if that still exists?

Charged with blind faith into booking this for next summer. Time will tell whether that was a wise move. Had to give myself something to look forward to.

I think you’ll be surprised how quickly this shifts tickets. No real competition, an early fest in a nice location, an ace line up. People champing at the bit to get some inkling of light at the end of the tunnel planned, additional to majority of tix rolled over from previous year.

Ah I didn’t see them on the poster, did I miss something?

Ah, my mistake. I was seeing it as Gorillaz in for Massive Attack. But you could be right about Tame!

There’s some Odd Future conspiracy in my group chat. Tyler and Earl already there, Frank Ocean owes them one and they’ve currently got a Lana shaped hole in the initial line up.
