"Bad Guy" will be my guess

Song was out in 2019 I think they might pick a newer song.

[Matt42]

Savage by Megan the stallion 

[Ayrshire Chris]

Something McCartney related? After all there’s plenty choice.  Or as others suggested , bad guy, but maybe too obvious? Whatever they choose it has to be a recognisable hook.

Sam fender - Will We Talk for the actual coverage he’s getting at the moment 

 

but for a proper feel good glasto soundtrack - Blossoms , Your Girlfriend/The Keeper

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

Foals' latest single 2am would be appropriate - it's suitably bouncy and it goes "It's 2am and I've gone and lost my friends"

[Matt42]

Haven’t they done foals songs as the bbc songs to death though?

Yes, anytime I hear it now I just think of Glastonbury TV coverage!

My thingy is ruined now.

Well done.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Years & Years - Starstruck. Or some sort of return theme would work. Maybe Metronomy - It’s Good To Be Back.

Yeah Years & Years is a good shout.

It will be from a marquee act, not metronomy.

That’s why I thought Wake Me Up

It was indeed.

As I said there are two songs to consider, the one with a 10-15 snippet for the TV coverage. Then one that goes on for a few minutes for the opening montage.

This year I'm going with Holiday by Confidence Man

Chaise Longue is bang on the money but they aren’t well know enough (based on recent past history that is)

I’d be surprised if it wasn’t Foals-2am. That guitar riff feels like it was written for that very purpose.

I remember years ago, perhaps even my first Glastonbury in 2004, this was blasting out of a bar late at night with about 50 people singing it and gurning i was convinced they were all singing 'I'm coming up' !

Yeah that’s a decent shout, only listened to it once when it was released but listened to it a few times the other day and it’s a proper grower.
