It's not (in fact it's at least 11 years out of date)! Down below is the version from last year

I think the Thursday night on Truth around Skindred last year was definitely another example of crowd crust being particularly bad. Our group had been at Truth, about halfway down, just in from the left hand wall, from about half seven onwards, and whilst it definitely got noticeably busier by the time Skindred came on it was never that bad, and being that side meant even popping to the loos near the Rocket Lounge was very manageable. I think by the sounds of it the problems came along the path at the back, and especially over the right hand side, as people came across the railway line from the Common and just stopped in a bit of a mass. (Not saying there weren't issues, just that, as so often at Glasto, even in "the same" crowd, some parts were way worse than others)

Considering Macca and Kendrick both got rebooked from 2020 I'd be massively surprised if there hadn't been some level of reach out to Taylor as well prior to looking at other options

Huge part of the difference being that, even speaking as firmly not a Coldplay fan, they can be relied upon to play a big, joyous, crowd pleaser of a show in a way that the Arctics can't

But The Killers smashed it out of the park, Janet Jackson very much didn't, and Kylie in the late afternoon/early evening sun was an all time party vibe, so it would have been a massive net downgrade EDIT @Gnomicide beat me to it

Think it came from the same source who knew most of the BST lineup before it was announced

Would absolutely love a late-night Truth set of this

Add another one to the Avalon success pile

1000% here for this being manifested into existence

My celeb spotting high point will likely forever be during Kanye, when absolutely gillespied, turning round to discover Matt Smith and Billie Piper stood behind me, both looking in a not too dissimilar state to the one I was in

My mate and I managed to head over as soon as Kano finished and catch both, hurrah for the early Park finish on Sunday!

Sunday of 2017, the best decision was Justice

Very much down for this

Who am I to disagree?

Didn't stop them booking the Arctic Monkeys

Whilst working on the bar in the Stonebridge in 2019 I saw Cold War Steve do an hour long DJ set to single digits people total, with the tent being literally empty (besides those of us working in there) for some pretty decent stretches of that

What a marvellous way to round off the festival that was!

That segment's in Treehouse V, IV has Ned as the Devil, Burns as Dracula and the gremlin on the side of the school bus

Possibly my favourite flag of last year - Big Titty Moth GF - made a return this year. Was amused by whoever it was who took a Brent "You couldn't run a successful paper merchants" flag to Texas

Yeah Iicon having a massive field (compared to the rest of the SEC at any rate) and a giant, visually arresting, high-production stage, and then mostly having pretty experimental techno on there is an odd one

Went because f**k it, it was early and we thought it would be a laugh, ended up being a genuine highlight. As my mate put it "I never thought I'd watch Rick Astley and have Never Gonna Give You Up be about the 4th best thing in the set" Also seems like a genuinely good bloke who was clearly loving it, thumbs up all round.

Didn't try this year, but the crew bar in the Unfairground has always been fine with EPOs in the past

FWIW the only act I've ever seen had the sound turned off on them at a festival because they wouldn't leave was Sum 41 (of all people), at Sonisphere 2010 or 11

In a similar vein, Ja Ja Ding Dong got played about the same time before Måneskin came out. Seeing a bloke absolutely kick off at the Duck Truck about 7 o'clock Sunday evening and start throwing homophobic abuse around, because they'd had the temerity to put salad with his order was definitely a bizarre one
