I absolutely NEED to know if this dance music covers guitarist is there this year.
Looks an unreal vibe, can anyone help? I know it might be a long shot.
Video starts at the right point 🙂
Thanks in advance
That makes me really excited to be back at Glastonbury 😊

This is a great conversation topic. I’m in my 50s and in fairly good health at the moment, so I hope this isn’t my last Glastonbury. This is my first Glastonbury since 2019 (just couldn’t get tickets), so if I factor in that I might have to wait 4-5 years between Glastonbury’s, I probably haven’t got that many left and I’m unlikely to know which is my last Glastonbury until years after the event.
So what I would do at my last one, is what I will do this time also-
•Not put myself under any pressure, just wander around and let the magical feeling of the place wash over me.
•On the Thursday I like to go to the craft fields and have a few drinks at the pub in Avalon field, maybe wonder over to Strummerville or sit at the top of the Park field.
• Only go to Pyramid stage for must see bands (not an issue this year). Had some amazing Glastonbury moments on that stage, but when I think about Glastonbury it’s the other parts of the festival that come to mind.
•I like spending lots of time in the entertainment fields and at the West Holts stage (just feels like the heart of the festival to me).
• I like going to the Leftfield, heard some really interesting things in there, hearing Tony Benn in a debate was a moment I will never forget.•finding something wonderful- like some amazing act in the circus tent or dancing with the New York Brass Band or joining a Glastonbury wedding.
•I have had a few lovely Sunday mornings in the Crows nest as well, not too many people can be bothered to get up there at that time (I don’t do this on the muddy years),
Have a great last festival 😊- 1

That would be fantastic, last time in Avalon was great. Friday night headliner please!
Friday headliner would work best for me, I don’t have one yet 👍

Guy Garvey is currently on Sunday Brunch with Black Pumas. Black Pumas spoke about being excited for their first Glastonbury and they asked Guy if he was playing this year, he denied playing, but also said something like ‘I will be going, but I think just as a guest this year’, he had a bit of a grin as he said that. I might be reading too much into it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he turns up playing somewhere at the festival

I’ll start by saying I’m happy with the lineup but can’t help but feel like we still have a sub headliner to announce and maybe possibly even an other stage headliner. Have absolutely nothing to go off for the other stage headline but don’t think idles will be headlining. The Friday pyramid however seems possible by the way they’ve worded on the website.
You are right the wording is interesting, they make it clear that Little Simz is immediately before Coldplay, does that mean the others aren’t in the Sub position ? Curious. Good spot Ncahir94

Who is likely to be on these stages?
Particularly interested in who might be the headliners ?
cheers

2016 was made bearable for me as my daughter was working there for 6 weeks. So I left my tent with her when I dropped her off and she put it up for me took it down when she finished 3 weeks after the festival ended. So long and short of it, I didn't have to put up and take down my tent, bedding etc in that mud.
It was hard work but the music was fantastic that year!
I didn’t watch any of the headliners on the Pyramid in 2016, but there was lots of headline choices on the other stages, I think my headliners that year were Underworld, Earth Wind and Fire and New Order. Also remember Art Garfunkel and Beck being highlights. So many more options for me in 2016 than so far on this line up.
I will be at this year’s festival and have plenty of bands to see, although other than the National not sure who my end of the night bands will be. I also look forward to being able to spend lots of time away from the Pyramid and being in my favourite parts of the festival.
I am lucky enough to be able to spend additional money on seeing some of the bands missing from the poster that are touring this summer, but if you are on a really tight budget and the festival is your only chance to see your favourite big bands, then I can see how this some might need to consider their options.
I’m a massive fan of the festival and have been very lucky to have been there 15 times previously, but for me that poster was a disappointment. It’s Glastonbury though and it’s a wonderful weekend away for those with a golden ticket and who can afford it.

My understanding was Dexys were just playing loads of new stuff and shunning the old stuff.
however some recent setlists suggest they may be splitting the sets into new stuff first with ‘classics’ to follow
If looking at an afternoon park slot are we expecting Geno, Jackie Wilson says and come on Eileen?
Or none of the the above?
Saw them last year. They played a first set of new songs and then came on a did a bunch of older stuff that I didn’t know and then made up for it by playing Come On Eileen, Geno and Jackie Wilson - those songs sounded so good 😊

This is my only must see headliner so far, will be a lovely end to the weekend

And Stevie Nicks. Why oh why did they not make that happen at all costs 😢
Agree, really wanted her there.

Can someone figure out which acts are playing which day?
Yeah looking forward to the National, but not sure what other headliners I will see. Enjoyed Jungle last year at APE, but don’t feel the need to see them two years in a row.

1. f**k the Sun
2. Smokey Robinson is still alive?
He is very old, but we need a miracle

The Sun has an article saying Smokey Robinson as a headliner.Not a quality source I agree, but not heard mention of Smokey before?

Okay, why not Adele?
She has a Las Vegas show on the 15th June and then nothing until a show in Germany on the 2nd August

Don’t worry the Avalon stage is going to be smashing

Well. Catching up with this has been a rollercoaster.
In summary - we know nothing. It's all speculation and rumours. So, nothing has changed really. And if they had Mulligan and O'Hare headlining, it would still be the best festival on the planet.
Mulligan and O’Hare are Avalon headliners for sure 👍

I can't remember what all the leaks were involving BST, there isn't a chance they just got told "Stevie" as part of it and assumed Wonder when it's actually Nicks?
This is what I wonder also

Clearly there is a reason its been held off...I'm sure why that is will become apparent in due course, but people getting themselves into a tizzy over it is just plain stupid IMO.
Could it being held back for Stevie Nicks and not Stevie Wonder ?

So if they're clashing with Stevie who has a tough choice on their hands? I'd love to see Stevie Wonder but knowing The National are playing while I'm somewhere else just sits wrong.
That would be a terrible clash. I would prefer the National to be up against Coldplay or Dua Lipa. Stevie is the only one of those possible headliners I would see instead of The National. Must be one of the last chances to see Stevie, hopefully the National will be around for many more years 🤞

Who will be the Friday headliner?
Is there a Clashfinder with this stage added?
