I cannot believe that in the year of our Lord 2024 that the best Saturday night option at Glastonbury Festival of Performing Arts this year is Ocean Colour Scene. Jesus f**king Christ!

It's just getting tedious now. I almost wish they'd do it just so they don't keep banging on about it.
Yeah same, just do it so we don’t have to hear about it anymore.

He just organises a massive Mexican wave and sneaks in whilst everyone is busy with that.

Nope. Never been that desperate to go.
But - I do personally know at least half a dozen people that walk through the gates FOC every year.
I've heard about this old fella with a massive beard who just swans in and out like he owns the place.

It's a long way to travel only to fail and be sat outside.
For that reason I'm out.

I'd give it a go. Does it lead to a criminal record?
Yes, they give you a Coldplay album and send you on your way.

Would Pulp headlining in 24/25 be any different to The Cure doing it in 19?

Happy to debate! Oasis are my favourite band ever, I’ve met both Gallaghers on solo tours.
I don’t like comparing Glasto to Reading, I know headliners overlap but Glasto should strive to be ‘bigger’ than Reading.
Liam headlined Knebworth if the strength of the oasis Knebworth anniversary , as I say I’m a fan, I was at knebworth, but Liam don’t play Knebworth if oasis hadn’t, it was a celebration of that gig and oasis.
I love him, maybe that’s a plot twist haha! He played sub in 2019 and is doing the o2 on his Oasis tour, I truly don’t think he should headline
Whether he "should" is another question, but if any other act was pulling the numbers he does they would be considered to certainty to do it at some point.
FWIW I don't think he ever will either.

He also thinks Liam Gallagher would headline, Oasis are my favourite band ever but that is laughable unless he was a fill in
Liam has headlined Reading/Leeds and played to hundreds of thousands at Knebworth in the last couple of years.
You don't have to like him, but by any objective metric he's big enough to headline on his own.

No Violet Hill can get stuffed too.

That second half f**king honks!

Their Finsbury Park show last year was an absolute barnstormer and could easily have cut it as a Pyramid headline set.

Do they have the tunes and the chops to do it? Yes
Would they be booked to headline? No

After Little Simz I'm just going to put Kendrick's set on and make like it's 2022 again.

Fontaines and The National would be two of mine for sure.
Even with the graveyard that is Saturday night this year I still couldn’t bring myself to watch Coldplay.

. My suspicion is that the upcoming Rebel Diamonds arena shows will be greatest hits based.
I mean, the clue is in the name….

Of those who'll be putting their ticket back in, how many of those is a negative reaction to the initial poster though? A very small fraction, I'd imagine
Yeah there should be “giving up due to lineup” and “giving up for other reasons”.

Other stage headliners look fairly weak (National excluded) as do Pyramid Subs. Third down last time had Capaldi (mega star) and Foos (obv playing well below their billing).
I think this year has objectively smaller artists looking at it
TBF 2023 wasn't stellar either, take Elton out and it suffers a lot.
For comparison the 2022 poster in terms of "drop everything to see"
Kendrick, Macca, Diana Ross, Wet Leg, Little Simz, Lorde, Confidence Man, Sam Fender...

Just the way it goes i guess. Who would have matched that description for 2023 for you out of curiosity?
From the first poster (which only had the half the names of this year's)?
Elton, Lana, Lizzo

It's.... alright, I guess.
A fair few I want to see but have either already seen or will be doing so ahead of the festival. There's absolutely no "WOW" moment, no-one that pleasantly surprised me. My 100%, definitely will be there unless they clash with each other list is a disappointingly small 4 acts. Underwhelming doesn't really cover it.
Really need Avalon to save the day.
The good news is I only discovered 2 of my must sees when the WH line-up leaked, so with some digging, I may find more.
Not sure there's a single "100% no matter what" act on there for me.

My ticket is going back into the pot, but that has nothing to do with today and decided long before the lineup dropped.

The Smile felt like an obvious omission.

We were in Wickett last year and loved it. Turned up around Thursday lunchtime and there was still plenty of room.
