I was just looking at Green Day's tour and it appears they have Friday and Sunday of Glastonbury available. The Friday is less likely as they are in Dublin the night before but Sunday is the day after their Wembley show and although it would mean 2 nights in a row it isn't unheard of for them and they do have a month off before their American tour.

Sorry, I meant my preferred choice.

Sheryl Crow for me.

I didn't really look at the chat about this year's festival due to not having a ticket, I'm not aware what the issues are.

To be honest I wouldn't have any real idea. Apart from money, which isn't a valid reason if you've already done it, I can't see a reason why they wouldn't do it.

Still it doesn't stop people, including on here banking on it. It's not like she mentioned Madonna either but that hasn't stopped people assuming she was booked.

The only ones I can think of would fit the bill perfectly.

I've been following the chat but didn't realise that Rihanna and Gaga were out. I think an easy swap might be P!nk. If Kylie is still being touted as the Legend spot then maybe she could come in as headliner. Other possibles to me (admittedly not looking at touring schedules) are: Beyonce Miley Cyrus Ariana Grande Nicki Minaj Lana Del Rey Katy Perry Admittedly I don't know much about pop music, so there must be more, or maybe some on this list not as big as I thought/no longer relevant enough. I realise there's other acts like Olivia Rodrigo who could get a bump up.

I think if you think Coldplay and Killers are uninspiring then I think you've been to too many Glastonbury festivals. Those people who haven't been to many Glastonbury's will almost certainly think either or both are decent bookings even if they're not fans. Having said that, I can't believe after saying that 2 headliners will be female they will change it to 2 male lead singer bands that have played the festival plenty of times before, even if Madonna has pulled out. There must be plenty of good female acts that could step in.

It was fantastic! I could have easily watched another hour.

Saw the Big Moon with strings at Papillon in Southampton last night. They were amazing.

I lead a group of year 11's and the fact that the GSCES will be over is why I am able to go. I'm so excited as I thought it'll be many years before I'd be able to go back to Glastonbury.

Somehow forgot to mention Melin melyn who were fantastic!

Had a fantastic time at my first Green Man. In recent years I've witnessed an increase in loud talkers during large parts of sets. A quick quiet chat is fine, especially between songs but through whole songs, why?!!! To be honest I didn't notice too much of that at Green Man but what I did witness was to the extreme. I'll echo the comments about people seemingly going for a family holiday (taking up room in the campsite and large groups playing games or in buggy's etc), I don't mind people doing that as long as there's space for others, which for the most part in the campsite there wasn't but was in the arena. I found the sound for all stages great, apart from the vocals in Far Out on Thursday. I liked the spacing of the stages although there was annoying sound leakage in Babbling Tongues from the Walled Garden and it was a shame that there was the bubble stall playing loud music right opposite the small acoustic stage. As a vegetarian, I get worried about food choices but found there to be plenty and although a little pricey, everything I had was tasty. The drink selection was better than I imagined. I found the general atmosphere around the site, brilliant and better than most events of similar size or bigger that I've been to. The toilets were decent and never had to wait too long for water. I also found the signposts etc easy to follow and staff were helpful, even one steward going out their way to find out where the secret drag venue was (which was brilliant). Highlights for me was: John Mouse, Mandrake Handshake, Wunderhorse, Metronomy, Dactyl Terra, Preen, Pregoblin, Kae Tempest, Viagra Boys, Dry Cleaning, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Tune-Yards, Keg, M(h)aol, Grandma's house, the Murder Capital and the Saturday night comedy. I'll definitely come back again.

My guesses without looking deep into touring schedules, just based on a vague knowledge of other festivals around the same time. Palace Bombay bicycle club Self Esteem The Lathums Shame Yard Act Wet Leg Arlo Parks Geese Kiwi jr

Been really enjoying the Skinny Lister, Will Varley and Biffy Clyro albums this week.

I can't remember if anyone mentioned them before but I'm enjoying Langkamer's debut album. It came out a couple of weeks ago and recently saw them supporting Bull. https://open.spotify.com/album/6DdZDzYDfAm4tgDYMopiSv?si=Ck85GL0xTH24uH-dERPEjw&utm_source=native-share-menu&dl_branch=1

No worries at all. Hope you enjoyed your holiday. Yeah that sounds like a good plan, now I just need to speak to my festival going friends and see what we all collectively agree on. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the info guys. Definitely worth considering. 👍

That is something I'd consider. I remember when I went I couldn't find any hotels too close. Is there any that is easy to get to and back?

Thanks for the info! 👍

Oh right, could I get the tickets in the presale, or is that just for people who've had tickets for the cancelled years?

Do you know when they're due to go on general sale?
