That is indeed a superpower! Awesome stuff mate

Did he already call you to the front before the recording started? I'm impressed that people are just letting you through, it's a superpower! Best of luck with this mate.

Here's a revised prediction based on one I did before, with more acts who are definitely touring around it (and a few still to be revised) Pyramid: Coldplay, Olivia Rodrigo, Jorja Smith, Garbage, Sigrid, Lizzie McAlpine, Local Band Other: SZA, Deftones, Ice Spice, Beabadoobee, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Happy Mondays, Bombay Bicycle Club West Holts: LCD Soundsystem, Brittany Howard, Freddie Gibbs & Madlib, St Paul & The Broken Bones, Paris Texas, Black Uhuru, Jalen Ngonda, Nu Genea Woodsies: Jungle, Cage The Elephant, GAYLE, Bleachers, Tove Lo, 100 Gecs, Faye Webster, Sorry Park: PJ Harvey, Lord Huron, Ashnikko, Lapsley, Snail Mail, The Mysterines, Blondshell, X (Beth Gibbons) Pyramid: Dua Lipa, Pulp, Sting, Keane, Rita Ora, Richard Hawley, James Blunt Other: J Hus, Ren, Kim Petras, Yard Act, Anne-Marie, Holly Humberstone, Ethel Cain, Hot Milk West Holts: Justice, Floating Points, Sister Sledge, Confidence Man, Omar Apollo, Olivia Dean, Kamaal Williams Woodsies: Pendulum, Belle and Sebastian, The Chats, X, Georgia, Alfie Templeman, Cian Ducrot Park: Future Islands, Denzel Curry, Alvvays, Bess Atwell, Nieve Ella, The Anchoress, Loose Articles, Picture Parlour Pyramid: Madonna, Sam Smith, Weezer, Stevie Nicks, Mabel, Mika, Local Band Other: The National, Avril Lavigne, Pinkpantheress, Tom Odell, The Japanese House, Muna, Courtney Marie Andrews West Holts: Chaka Khan, Sampha, X (The Streets), Gabrielle, Bob Vylan, Bakar, Badbadnotgood, Mdou Moctar Woodsies: Robyn, Mimi Webb, Soccer Mommy, Rachel Chinouriri, Gilla Band, Meekz, Coach Party Park: The Smile, Anna Calvi, The Blaze, CMAT, Biig Piig, Kevin Morby, Remi Wolf, Prima Queen

I think she's earned an early Pyramid slot

Kylie's great. If you don't like her, that's okay! You can go and watch someone else. There'll be someone on at the same time who you like more, and I hope you have a great time! Argument over?

I definitely think both of those are options nowadays. VIctorious booking a band the size of Mumford as an exclusive will perhaps convince some bigger bands that it's not actually a step down. Same with Boardmasters getting Lorde, Liam G, Gorillaz, Foals, Disclosure, Kings of Leon etc

When they can still bag plenty of headline slots at the likes of TRNSMT/Download in the future I think their best option is to resist the temptation of smaller fests. Although maybe a day at All Points East wouldn't hurt

Definitely think we're due for a Biffy Other Stage headline set on their next album style. Would be great to see them knocking 10 bells out of Sunday night against a massive Pyramid headliner

They're still free on Saturday and Sunday? They'll be in the UK too with Eden sessions on the Tuesday

The Beards are a great band by the way. Get them on Avalon

Bombay could be Friday Other opener surely? Although it's very early to self confirm for that slot, not sure they'll have even booked it yet!

That's great. Good for them. Can't fault Phoenix, awesome live band

I heard that they only had a couple of hundred in the crowd, is that right?

I wonder if Taylor is currently too big to safely have on at a festival. Considering how overcrowded Elton was this year with QOTSA on the Other Stage, it's hard to think of someone who would detract significantly more numbers from Taylor's crowd

Simz's last album was awesome. Next time she plays I'd place her 3rd-4th from top of Pyramid

Ah thanks for the heads up on that. I'd missed that

Here's another attempt building on what I attempted before. I've swapped out a few who aren't touring for those who are. Secret sets may look a tad underwhelming but I think last year showed we're going to get lots of smaller surprises rather than one or two massive ones. Pyramid: Dua Lipa, Pulp, Weezer, Garbage, Rita Ora, Mika, Jamee (Orchestral set) Other: The National, Jack Harlow, Ice Spice, Beabadoobee, DMA’s, Happy Mondays, Bombay Bicycle Club West Holts: FKA Twigs, Patti Smith, Paris Texas, Black Uhuru, Bob Vylan, Jalen Ngonda, Nu Guena Woodsies: Jungle, Cage The Elephant, GAYLE, Bleachers, Tove Lo, 100 Gecs, X (Richard Hawley), Sorry Park: PJ Harvey, Sharon Van Etten, Ashnikko, Lapsley, Snail Mail, Honeyblood, The Mysterines, Blondshell Pyramid: Madonna, Olivia Rodrigo, Sting, Alanis Morisette, Sigrid, Pinkpantheress, James Blunt Other: J Hus, Ren, Kim Petras, Yard Act, Anne-Marie, Holly Humberstone, Ethel Cain, Hot Milk West Holts: Justice, Floating Points, Sister Sledge, Confidence Man, Kamaal Williams Woodsies: Pendulum, Belle and Sebastian, The Chats, Georgia, Alfie Templeman, Cian Ducrot Park: Future Islands, Denzel Curry, The Blaze, X (The Smashing Pumpkins), The Anchoress, Loose Articles, Picture Parlour Pyramid: Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Jorja Smith, Iggy Pop, Stevie Nicks, Mabel, Lizzie McAlpine, Local Band Other: SZA, Avril Lavigne, Noah Kahan, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, The Japanese House, Muna, Courtney Marie Andrews West Holts: Kano, Sampha, X (The Streets), Gabrielle, Olivia Dean, Bakar Woodsies: Robyn, Mimi Webb, Soccer Mommy, Rachel Chinouriri, Gilla Band, Meekz, Coach Party Park: The Smile, Anna Calvi, CMAT, Biig Piig, Remi Wolf, The Orielles, Prima Queen

Now this is an attitude I can get behind.

That was me - I don't know about festivals, they're different. But I think if he's gonna do a festival he'd do Glastonbury instead of IoW

In order of who I'd want to see from most to least (my personal opinion): 1. Bruce Springsteen 2. Green Day 3. Dua Lipa 4. Lady Gaga 5. Coldplay 6. Madonna 7. Dave (but only because I've seen him before, would probably have him 2nd or 3rd normally) 8. Depeche Mode 9. P!nk

Imo Dua/Madge/Springsteen would be three incredible ways to finish a day at Glastonbury. Sure there's not something there for everyone, but there's two really important and influential "heritage" acts and a massive solo British female artist who's guaranteed to knock it out the park. It's a stick from me.

Info I've got is there will be more dates added but not in different cities/venues to the ones already announced.

Gaga/Dua/Bruce. Do it.

My mistake, I misread the info, we’re looking at the week before, not the Sunday of. He’s still very much in the running

He played there in June this year, I don’t think that’s a leak. Apparently he’s playing in Barcelona on the Sunday of Glastonbury. Could still feasibly do Friday, but probably ruled out if he’s likely to add an extra date.
