and also wouldn’t publicly announce anything I hear until it’s in the public domain as know how hard Boomtown try to keep it under wraps
I respect that. I actually like the secret line-up approach, but it is nice to have a few names to get excited about in the build-up.

It was Echo and the Bunnymen and I can confirm it was packed and also excellent
I think I was making a tit of myself dancing to The Prodigy at the big head around this time, before having to crawl back into my tent and dann near freezing to death.

*Two hit. Sex on Fire and Use Somebody are pretty much second and third for rock songs in the UK this century. (I don't make the rules!)
What's first? Mr Brightside?

Headliners: Tyler The Creator, Olivia Rodrigo, Green Day
Subs: Jamie T, Biffy Clyro, Chase And Status
Chevron: PinkPantheress, Four Tet, The Streets
R1: Tate McRae, D-Block Europe, Phoebe Bridgers,
FR: The Front Bottoms, Yard Act, The Chats
You've managed to craft a lineup where I legit might spend every night at the FR (possible exception for Phoebe)

Seems like the could be some crossover with Stowaway:

As someone who is absolutely not going I love this whiplash of everything from bagging Madonna for an all-timer with Dave as a sub to Shania up top with Elbow as a sub.
This feels like such a soft year everywhere that I give this 50/50 odds of being a top 3 lineup in all of Europe (for general booking quality, not for my taste). -

5 Insomnia
6 Comfort in Sound
7 Just the Way I'm Feeling
8 Seven Days in the Sun
9 Borders
10 High
11 Buck Rogers
12 Just a DayBorders is a criminally underrated late-era slice of power pop.
Shatter, what a belter. Haven't heard that one for a good long while.

I don't think she will due to contractual matters - and the fact that without a good reason, it's clearly just pettiness - but did wonder if she might bounce.
Fortunately, The 1975 will go just as well into Fred Again..
Honestly, if she's so bothered about where she plays on a lineup, I would recommend that she checks where she's going to play on the lineup before agreeing to the booking...

LDR is a headliner... she doesn't do subbing. She's gets very upset when she's not on the top line.
And at least Elbow turn up on time and play their full set.

So many of the Trinity College Dublin gigs last summer were bands also at Glasto so think this makes them very, very likely to be there. Do they still merit a Pyramid sub slot or could you arguably move them to third down (as good as One Day Like This is at sunset)?
Surely in the Year of our Lord 2024, Elbow will not get a sub slot? R&L basically have Lana Del Rey subbing, would be a bit of a clanger if Glasto get Elbow.

I for one can't wait for the Philip Morris Introducing Stage.

Reading through the last few pages folk here seem to have got a bit puritanical, this is Glastonbury not the Anne Frank Haus. So what if someone got a bit wobbly and had what sounds like a wonderful time and lasting memory? I imagine 90% of the posters here go in for some kind of altered state to enhance the experience, what do you think the cider tent is for?

It wasn’t a chart hit but I’d argue Red Right Hand counts for being the unofficial anthem of every british lad with a bad haircut and a lifetime ban from Reflex.

Cave however can get in the bin now as far as I’m concerned.
Now now, we’ll be having none of that kind of talk

Actually baffling that real human beings would pay that much to see the fkin eagles, man. The most middle of the road, pedestrian tunes imaginable.

Actually banning the guy is hilariously petty. He was posting the odd US lineup, he was hardly threatening the integrity of the forum...

Mind you, they've only coincidentally done that since the lineups have considerably weakened
Funny that eh? Tbh I always thought it was a mistake booking acts that big because they suck up all the oxygen in the room. They should have stuck with The Specials and Lauryn Hill and then no-one would be calling the recent lineups weak.

Looking at it from the opposite angle, what's the actual benefit of keeping the lineup under wraps?
I think Boomtown’s reasoning is that they want people to come for the atmosphere/ world building rather than for any particular booking.
Kind of apples to oranges though as the largest act Boomtown ever booked is maybe Gorillaz? -

It was slightly tongue in check
Alas, it's been a long day and I don't think my brain is really working. Sorry bout that.

That was me, although others may have done so.
I feel like you are wilfully ignoring the existence of multiple stages. Why would you possibly put Kae on the largest stage when they could simply headline a smaller stage?

In fairness this is also because their later stuff is absolute dross...
