i was at glastonbury the last time a world cup was on but as i was a lot younger then and was not really with it too much i did not get round to seeing if glastonbury did this then.

so my question is will they, this year, be showing all the games at a special tent/place/screen? has there been any official announcements yet? i know that they are showing the england game on the thursday (or whenever it is) but what about every other game?

please do not start thinking that i will be watching them all, as i will not, but there are certain games that i would quite like to watch in a muddy field whilst off my rocker on mdma.

also, I apologise if this question may of been answered already. i had a quick look to see if i could find one, but i came up with no results and there are only so many hours in a day.

love a peas.

this is actually a valid question. say sunday afternoon and no bands do anything for me (quite like the past couple of sundays actually) and i want to watch the football, will i be able to. even if it was two obscure nations, i'd probably be interested watching it in a crowd.

i agree, it's a totally valid question.

if i'm not overly excited by any bands playing on the saturday (should we win our group) or the sunday (should we finish runners up), then i would definitely want to see the match.

i'm not for one second suggesting that i'm going to want to be in front of the telly during the weekend, but being at glastonbury isn't going to magically stop me from being a football fan*, and if there is no band playing at the time that particularly floats my boat...

* contrary to popular belief in this forum, you can be a football fan without being a tit :P

and also contraty to popular belief, football existed before the telly. don't get why someone is saying that having an interest to the world biggest sporting event going on means that you also want to watch xfactor and eastenders as well.

NOOOOO. are you sure? can this be true? what is that you say .. bamboozled!

anyway, regarding my original question i gather that there has been no announcement and that they have never sjhown the whole of the world cup on other world cup years.

oh well. i'll have to invest in a hand help portable tv then.

and NO football is not band, Mark E Smith on the other hand is.

Yeah, you know I have absolutely no f**king interest in England, bunch of arseholes, but it would be really nice to have all the matches on somewhere (a screen in the old cinema field), so I could spend a pleasant 90 minutes watching a bit of footy. I think it would be great. Really nice idea.

      2026 line-up speculation

      By SweepingTheNation · Posted

      People seem to have got obsessed about 'secret sets' at all festivals this year even when there aren't any spaces other than, in EOTR's case, the usual late Folly sets that 90%+ of the time are from artists who are already playing.

      I guess we'll just have to wait until videos of the shows go up, but the fact that the standing is also greyed out still suggests to me that those sections just sold out out before the others and a blue block just be like 3 tickets left, it's still not concrete proof they never went on sale and if they were never on sale why would they not make it even, if 414 wasn't on sale then you'd think 409 wouldn't be either

      2027 Headliners

      By smiffy98 · Posted

      I don’t think the festival automatically ‘need’ to have a female headliner if you have strong female headliners on the Other Stage (which I reckon will be Rosalia and Phoebe Bridgers), perhaps a female legend (praying for Annie, will take Cher), and a few female/mix gendered subs on the Pyramid (maybe London Grammar, The xx). From what I’ve seen of Sabrina, her team prioritises the pay day and I think she will be doing Wembley over Glasto weekend.   One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of the suggestions would be first time headliners and I can’t work out when the last time was that the festival had three artists top the bill that hadn’t topped it before? It seems to be something they like to do to make sure they have a ‘safe’ headliner that will land well with the masses. Plenty of names in that hat that could step back up next summer and should/could be about: Billie Eilish, Adele, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Radiohead, U2…hell, if Beyoncé is really planning to release a ‘rock n roll’ album to complete her Renaissance trilogy, Glastonbury would be a great place to ‘kick off’ that campaign for her.   And there’s always the Rihanna rumour. Her husband (I think) said this week she’s in the studio.
