Sorry to say that no matter how good their next album is, Don Broco will never be big enough to headline Latitude/Boardmasters let alone R/L

Anyone else fill out that survey and never get asked for any contact details....? wish me luck with that competition....

I listen to Blood & Mud religiously. Shame not many others can nail that tone quite so brilliantly

Yeah, I’d imagine it’s coming in the next couple of days with the news about Tramlines & Truck

Oh wow, that’s unusual. I’d have said they’re the biggest act on that JP playlist.

Seems fair. Think Angel Olsen subbing would be great, but that’s probably a fair call. I can definitely see them putting Glass Animals 3rd from top, but them subbing would be great. Jesus & Mary Chain 4th down was semi inspired by Low’s spot last year. It’s a very strong JP lineup this year (and even stronger Park lineup). Was very difficult to place!

Here’s what I’ve thrown together for three of the big five. There’s a couple of acts who I may have judged harshly as I don’t know them that well. Thoughts welcomed! Pyramid: Kendrick Lamar Lana Del Rey TLC Kacey Musgraves Dizzee Rascal Sinead O’Connor Happy Mondays Paul McCartney Noel Gallagher Aerosmith Crowded House Sam Fender Suzanne Vega Skunk Anansie Taylor Swift ? Elbow Diana Ross The Specials Imelda May The Lightning Seeds John Peel: Editors Banks Clairo Burna Boy Tones & I Charli XCX FKA Twigs Cage The Elephant The Jesus & Mary Chain Jehnny Beth Beabadoobee Primal Scream Angel Olsen Glass Animals Aitch Secret set The Big Moon Soccer Mommy Park: Manic Street Preachers Phoebe Bridgers Laura Marling Sampa The Great Confidence Man Tinariwen London Grammar JARV IS... The Avalanches Secret set EOB The Orielles Baxter Dury Caribou Big Thief Fontaines DC Goldfrapp Cate Le Bon Squid Khruangbin

Having now actually read what Coachella put, I think you’re right. Weirdly relieved about that.

Any idea what this one means? Maybe RATM dropping out and Macca taking their place? Arguably the strongest reserve in history...

What about jj200?

I assume Tramlines/Truck/Y Not are all saving back their second announcements until they get some news which at least somewhat indicates they might go ahead. If the festivals get cancelled pre-announcement, I guess they can save stuff back for future editions.

I’ll level with you lads. When the lineup came out I said it was crap and left. With hindsight I’ve now learned to like this lineup given this is the most likely festival to go ahead and I now want to go. What a rollercoaster. (I still don’t think it will happen, mind you)

May the “Elton could play the legend slot as a rollover from the 50th!!!!” talk now begin.

In fairness, I’d be tempted to make the 5 day trip down to Worthy Farm anyway...

I think it’s really important they get Macca back. Realistically this will be their last opportunity to book him, and I think he’s the most essential headliner for the 50th. Especially given he was in, you know, The Beatles.
