Maybe the issue of crowd control could be used again, cause like someone else on here said, Elbow will draw a far smaller crowd than Arcade Fire so having them subbing U2 reduces the chances of it being a very large static crowd for 4 hours

I think (unfortunately) that if they do a UK festival it'll be V due to them being in the UK at the time for the Edinburgh/Manchester shows. Although they don't really seem to fit in with that sort of thing but then, they're not British festival snobs so they probably don't cae so much about which ones they do.

Actually bet Reading & Leeds are probably annoyed, they made the booking a year too early for me. Its only now Arcade Fire have this massive hurrah about them.

And yes I don't think Elbow into U2 will be quite the same as Arcade Fire into U2. Nice, but not as brilliant as Arcade Fire.

Even if they don't play I'm seeing them at the MEN in August so its all good.

With REM now looking very unlikely that could make room for AF.

Although id love AF to play, with the other names been thrown about it wouldnt be the end of the world if they didnt.

Not a massive fan of elbow but a strong booking. Future headliners deffo. Saw them at T and they were excellent.

So hang on...

Arcade Fire are downgraded to 'Rumour'...

Elbow are now meant to be subbing U2...

They can't play Sat/Sun due to other commitments...

Other Stage Headliners are pretty certain to be Primals, Chems, Libs.

So is it looking a forlorn hope that I might see my beloved Arcade Fire at Glastonbury?

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
