another +1 for thinking that the T-Shirt's are not great designs. I love a nice bit of band merch and if the Glasto t-shirts were nice I'd buy one but....I never have.

In all seriousness there is a print version of NME. It was resurrected last year and is printed in very limited numbers you have to join an online waiting room when it is released I think it is monthly or bi monthly and £10 an issue. I've not bought one but it is still a thing (after not being a thing for many years).

Lol, not for a few years.

I can't see stereophonics as an other stage headliner in 2024. They fill the same sort of space as Keane. Still strangely big but musically bankrupt for a long long time. Pyramid late afternoon. Big crowd and bring the singles out. Fine. It amazed me that they headlined latitude a few years ago as a filler for snow patrol. There's a place for them at glasto but not near the top.

Did I imagine D-Block Europe are rumoured as an other stage headliner? I must have read it somewhere because I don't know anything about them as an act. I have no idea if they are big enough.

you can pick them up for free in topshop 🙂

Hope she is on the Pyramid this year. She would knock it out the park.

slightly perplexed by the coverage Gossip are getting TBH. There is an interview on BBC news homepage as well https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68477960 for me they really were a one hit wonder. Saw them a few times in the 00's but wouldn't be interested now.

In fact, I don't think I've ever done a 3 act run at the pyramid on a Friday. Last time was a Sunday for elbow/Lorde/ kendrick and it was amazing.

If it is a run of pj harvey, lcd, Coldplay on the pyramid I will be so f**king happy. I don't care about whether other people think those acts are too small or in the wrong stage I will be having the time of my life. If people around me aren't digging it I'll just move to get a better atmos.

Yeah I think it's gonna be SZA.

love this question. lot's of the repeat acts I've seen have only been across the same stages though so not a really broad spread.

Yeah "Nobody get's me" is a fantastic song and could be a total moment with the crowd.

100% Not only is it picnic blanket and camping chairs everywhere there are plenty of people with a rotten attitude...not letting people past, giving people dirty looks if they touch the corner of their picnic blanket with their foot. Not everyone, but enough to be really annoying. At least the Glasto champing chair crowd seems to be friendly.

I agree with this somewhat. There is a lot at a similar pace for an hour long album (and this is coming from a fan of The National 🙂 ) I think the live pacing looks okay though as it is broken up with stuff from CTRL and singles. SOS is really growing on me though. I think as soon as you get over it being more slow jams than bangers then it is a great listen.

there are still Latitude tickets available. Sunday headliner there....and boy are people happy with those headliners/lineup 🙂

all rumoured, with the exception of LG & JS who despite a lot of noise a couple of weeks ago was walked back. I think there is more speculation behind some than others.

Today is pretty wild and I'm here for it. In the absence if info we are just filling the void aren't we. The National are one of my favourite bands, I can't state that enough, but I don't think they are the right band to headliner Glasto. Joe Q public wouldn't have a clue who they are. Better to go with an O-Rod or SZA or 1975 who have hit pop songs and a profile in the general public.

lol

yeah, you are right they were big enough I just think they were a bit naff 🙂

for me the only 2 that I think were slight missteps of recent times were Kasabian and Mumford and Sons. I'm sure plenty of people enjoyed them on the night.

The Verve were fantastic on the night. I think they are a name which has more limited appeal... Put it one way they were part of the line-up that only sold out right before the festival (which included KOL & Jay-Z) only time I can remember that happening.

I only have the new album one spin yesterday and I thought it was great and would be really good live so I reckon give it a listen. They are a bit punky but then also sort of rocky and a bit shoegaze in places so a real mix.

It really just seems like another pretty unsubstantiated one. Falls into the category of "possible enough to be true, wild enough to get you talking". If SZA is there in some capacity it'll be a great booking. We are definitely so dry on genuine info at the moment that it's hard to know what to believe anymore.

She's going to do all 3 nights. Different set each time 😀
