Especially when you consider MTS is there, who's headlining R/L, and Doja Cat, who was in the conversation to do so. Really great to see modern rap music not being completely dominated by men. Sets a great example for other festivals!

Great to see three female headliners at Finsbury Park, and 4/9 in total.

Re Suede - they're usually very precious about their billing/playing long sets at festivals. I'd guess they haggled for a sub slot over NBT, but the organisers figured it'd sell more tickets to list NBT higher. Glasto put Janet Jackson on the top billing in 2019 when she was third down, so I'd imagine it's a bit like that.

You sure about that? Looks like confirmation to me

Daft Punk have started posting on Instagram. think that’s confirmation.

Ah, brilliant. Would be great if there were some cross-weekend secret acts (eg Lorde secret set on weekend one, Beck on weekend two) but that's probably very unlikely.

Just found out this place sometimes does secret sets - can anyone tell me anymore? How often? Who've they had in past? Is it possible that it'll happen again this year?

Ah! Right you are.

Could definitely see NBT named. Only lineups I've seen them on are Live At Leeds and Y Not - one north and one midlands. One down south would round it off nicely.

Lots of great names flying round there... I'm super hopeful The Smile don't clash with any of the three headliners that day, I have no idea what I'd do

Yeah - they're not a festival who've established they don't repeat artists. TDCC have very little announced for next year. Good booking all round

Did they headline it before? Would be a great shout though

Right... let's name the 5 acts we're all most excited for! I'm at weekend 2, so right now for me it's: 1. Massive Attack 2. The Strokes 3. Tame Impala 4. The Smile 5. Khruangbin How about everyone else?

The transition from Olympic Airways to My Number to Black Gold feels important and needs to return

I've only given them one more song than their Cardiff Castle gig had, which I think is reasonable considering they played Neptune in full there!

How's this for a setlist? The Runner 2am Mountain At My Gates Olympic Airways My Number Black Gold In Degrees Wake Me Up Birch Tree On The Luna Providence Spanish Sahara Red Socks Pugie Exits Inhaler (Encore) Black Bull What Went Down Two Steps Twice Plus a couple more new tunes once they're out... edit: actually, 2am is probably much better off mid-set. Banger, either way

My prediction is Wombats - DMA's - You Me At Six

Keith Richards headlining Avalon. You heard it here first. (Also, first sign of Hozier being active, not that he’ll play Glastonbury)

Ah, good for him. Sounds very reminiscent of Lewis Capaldi's album in 2019!

Hoping he plays this belter of a tune.

Didn't realise David Gray was still bigger than those support acts!

Good point with them having played twice. Just don't see them on any other UK lineups yet, so could see them as an exclusive

Think Glastonbury have cancelled them. They were the nailed-on rumour to headline the Other Stage on Friday, but that's apparently Foals now.

I reckon Capaldi/Jack White/Alt-J is a good punt for this.

Aren't we all
