Ben Partridge did an AMA on reddit recently so I asked him.. doesn't look like it's happening unfortunately. "Hi! I've been asked by a couple of festivals over the years (not Glastonbury) but I've always said no - I'm fairly sure a live Beef and Dairy show in front of an audience who have never heard the podcast would be a disaster on a par with the Cumberfeld cow disaster." Think he's got a point, both B&D and beans kind of need you to have immersed yourself in them to get all the in-jokes.

Genuinely upset! There were 26 on the Avalon stage last year, and only 25 on the poster, so clinging to that, or them showing up on the Other stage or something... the dream isn't dead yet!

Ooooh that's excellent news, saw Lynks at his midnight set in the rabbit hole in 2022, was one of the best parts of the whole festival. Will definitely be a different vibe early on a "proper" stage rather than the middle of the night on a giant picnic table but I'm READY!

Checking these all out, cheers!

I hadn't heard of Otoboke Beaver before today, but now really looking forward to them. Japanese punk-rock-garage quartet. What new acts have you learned about from the poster?

Busted! Genuinely disappointed they're missing, fingers crossed for them to come later on.

If I'm counting right, there are still 4 names to be released for Pyramid, 9 for Other, 6 for West Holts, 7 for Woodsies, and 7 for The Park. So plenty more potential! I'm a little underwhelmed, but it will still be amazing.

While we're all desperate for the lineup... As far as I can see, Benjamin Partridge has not been on the farm. His podcast "Beef and Dairy Network" seems so well-suited for Glastonbury. A live episode from a famous dairy farm seems so perfect! Has this idea been thrown out before? Is it too niche?

Ah, good point. But what a treat if I get a call to say I've got the job AND the lineup drops at the same time, bliss!

Selfishly reeeeally hoping for tomorrow afternoon because I've got an interview for a job I desperately want, if it's the morning I'll be distracted with lineup news. Tomorrow 3pm ish would be lovely please Emily!

Thanks for the updates re: lineup news (genuinely exciting!), and sorry to be 'that gal' but... presumably most of the discussion was about women in music, anything interesting that was said about this, not relating to lineup? Would have loved to have gone.

Hey Green People, First timer, arriving on Wednesday now because of the train strike. Is the settlement a seperate area you're not allowed in if you're a regular punter? Just trying to figure out if we're allowed to watch the sets happening on Wednesday. Cheers

Oh wow! Did she enjoy the Glastonbury set? I can't imagine many - if any - of the bands I saw at her age then will still be relevant at her age now!

I hadn't actually properly noticed,but now you say, yeah there was no one other than the fire tower. Never been to a festival like that before. Is it just a "2022 no staff" thing or are there never security in the campsites at Glastonbury?

Can you copy and paste please so we don't have to give them traffic?
