What time have you heard? Wouldn't want to miss it, however unlikely it is.

It's on the left side before you get into the arena, if you walk to the arena from the Co-op you shouldn't be able to miss it.

I think this is pretty accurate. We've got the day / stage splits for the other artists now so here's a more updated one: Friday: Obelisk: Pulp, Metronomy BBC Sounds: TBA, The Beths Sunrise: TBA, The Dinner Party Saturday: Obelisk: Paolo Nutini, The Kooks, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott, The Lightning Seeds, The Big Moon BBC Sounds: TBA, Young Fathers Sunday: Obelisk: George Ezra, TBA, The Proclaimers, Sophie Ellis-Bextor BBC Sounds: Siouxsie, Black Midi I think there's a chance that Young Fathers are going to sub the tent. I wouldn't be that surprised if they were to headline it, but I'm cautiously predicting that we'll have an act above them. I'm sort of 50/50 on it. I've got them as headlining in this prediction, and subbing on the previous one, so I'm kind of calling both sides. They're not as big as some of the tent headliners we've had recently, e.g. last years storming trio of Phoebe Bridgers, Groove Armada and Fontaines DC. But they're bigger than some other ones we've had such as Sons of Kemet and Sleaford Mods, however Sleaford Mods were a last minute replacement for Fontaines in 2021 due to Covid. I guess we'll see tomorrow!

1. Ants From Up There - Black Country, New Road 2. A Light For Attracting Attention - The Smile 3. Wet Leg - Wet Leg 4. Actual Life - Fred Again 5. The Overload - Yard Act

This is how I've interpreted the day splits stage wise: Friday: Obelisk: Pulp, Metronomy BBC Sounds: TBA Others: The Beths, The Dinner Party Saturday: Obelisk: Paolo Nutini, The Kooks, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott BBC Sounds: Young Fathers Others: The Big Moon, Lightning Seeds Sunday: Obelisk: George Ezra, TBA BBC Sounds: Siouxsie, Black Midi Others: The Proclaimers, Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Day splits have also been announced via Email.

It sounds like a few of you need to be trying for Glastonbury resale tickets.

I mean, I don't think it's a bad trio. It's just a bit boring. Sam Fender / Foals The Killers / Lewis Capaldi Billie Eilish / Imagine Dragons

They've done a good job here.

Dave, Taylor Swift, Blur

Now that I think of it, I think we could be missing at least one. It's hard to say who they could be, and how many we're missing. Young Fathers could definitely be one of them. They're playing some decent size venues on their tour, including The Roundhouse (3,300 capacity) and the Albert Hall (2,300 capacity). They don't really fit on Obelisk, so I think they'll either be subbing BBC Sounds, or headlining it. I think Metronomy could headline sounds, but they could also play Obelisk. They sort of fit into the Modest Mouse slot 3rd from top this year. They would make sense 3rd down, subbing Obelisk or headlining BBC Sounds. Black Midi and The Big Moon are probably too small, The Big Moon more so than Black Midi I'd say. The Big Moon would fit BBC Sounds and Obelisk, while Black Midi can only really work on BBC Sounds. It would have been great to have a poster format where we could tell stage and day splits. We really lucked out with the BBC Sounds headliners this year. Phoebe, Groove Armada and Fontaines were all playing some pretty big venues, with Phoebe pushing a crazy amount of tickets, with demand for lots more. Fontaines were booked for 2021, but had to cancel due to Covid, which means they were a bigger headliner than they were in 2021, but even with a 2021 level Fontaines, it's still a huge trio. I think it's the best trio of BBC Sounds (or equivalent) headliners they've ever had. So if we got something close to that level, I'd be very happy. We could feasibly have none of the BBC Sounds headliners, or at a push, all three. I think we've probably got at least one.

Yeah, I agree with this. Lightning Seeds, Proclaimers and Sophie Ellis Bextor are typical Obelisk vibe. I'd guess something like: Friday: Pulp, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott, Lightning Seeds Saturday: Paolo Nutini, Metronony, Proclaimers Sunday: George Ezra, The Kooks, Sophie Ellis Bextor BBC Sounds: Friday: Young Fathers Saturday: The Big Moon Sunday: Black Midi I'm really hoping they don't clash Black Midi and Pulp, as they're my two must sees currently. Anyway, Pulp > The Big Moon > Black Midi aren't a bad trio for me. I'd be content with The Big Moon, but I've seen them a couple of times. I could easily be swayed if there was something interesting on Sunrise.

I think the subs will be out of: The Kooks, Metronomy, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott I've realised there's actually 6 names in the third section of the poster. I imagine these will be the third downs, and the BBC Sounds headliners. So, Lightning Seeds could be third down on the Friday. I'd imagine that Black Midi will definitely be a BBC Sounds headliner, as them third down on the Obelisk would be interesting to say the least.

It could look something like this: Obelisk: Friday: Pulp, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott Saturday: Paolo Nutini, Metronomy Sunday: George Ezra, The Kooks BBC Sounds: Friday: The Big Moon Saturday: Lightning Seeds Sunday: Black Midi If they dare clash Black Midi and Pulp, I will be livid.

So... What's everyone's thoughts?

I think he'll be headlining.

I think the remaining headliner is likely to be The 1975 as we've had info on them playing. They've also confirmed they're doing festivals next year, and the only ones they can really do bar Glastonbury and R&L are TRNSMT, Latitude and IOW. They've been confirmed in an article to be playing TRNSMT, and someone had info that they were playing Latitude and IOW.

SHIT. I DON'T THINK WE'VE GOT PULP.

I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but if it's Pulp, I'll be absolutely over the moon. They're very high up on my list of bands I'd like to see, and before they confirmed that they'd be touring next year, I didn't think I'd ever get to see them.

We're fairly certain it's The 1975.

Do you have any reason to believe that it won't be Pulp? Or is it just speculation? There's been quite a few sources saying The 1975, do you know anything more about it, e.g. what day they're playing?

Cheers! I'm not a fan personally. I don't find his music that interesting, so probably won't be there. I'm hoping that they'll be a good option against him in either of the tents, as that'll keep me happy. Looking back at previous years, there's usually something worth watching around headliner time. We had a clash-mania on the Friday of 2021 with Wolf Alice, Hot Chip and Dry Cleaning. I'd have been happy to have seen any of them, but decided to go with Wolf Alice. Chances are they'll be something I'm interested in watching on at the same time as Paolo. To give Paolo some credit, Iron Sky is one of my favourite songs. It's incredible. It's quite odd, as I'm a huge fan of that one, but don't really get his other stuff. In an ideal world, I'd catch that one song, then watch whoever else is on. This is a fantastic video. I love how the song builds to a perfect climax: I can see it's a good booking, it's just not really for me. There's usually a headliner or two that I'm not a fan of, so it's not surprising. I hope that they confirm the next two headliners in the next few days. I'd love for Pulp to be there, and I'm pretty confident that The 1975 will be one of the other headliners.

I imagine they'll be trying to get some sort of line-up poster out as soon as possible, with the current climate and before Christmas. I find it a little odd that they've taken tickets off sale, while R&L still has them on sale. They're both FR events, so I'd have thought it would be consistent between the two festivals. It's especially ironic as R&L won't have trouble selling out, but Latitude might have a bit of trouble shifting tickets. It was interesting to see the demand for Green Man next year. They've managed to sell out, with 25,000 tickets sold without a single act confirmed. I'm not sure if Latitude managed to sell 25,000 tickets even with the line-up out this year. I'm one of the 25,000 that bought tickets for Green Man next year. I went this year and it's fantastic. It definitely has the sort of vibe that Latitude was trying to create in the first few years of it's existence.

Cheers! Yeah, I remember reading that both Ed and Phil were working on new albums. I wonder if Ed will be touring anytime soon. He was booked for the Park stage in 2020, but I'm not sure if he's got any plans other than releasing another album.
