Tinie Tempah drew a pretty sizeable crowd last tine but may have been due to the sun coming out!

I'd like the line up to come out purely to convince my mates who don't know "its not all about the music" to get excited to go. Not that they'll get a ticket anyway!

Out of any sub playing any festival this year. Mumford would be the strongest sub. Almost too strong, that's why i'm a little inclined to think they are headlining the sunday..

a straightforwards view would say you're very probably right.

But in the background, I know that Glastonbury approached a number of acts in January (and perhaps Feb too) to headline the Sunday and that at least some of those acts would be regarded as smaller than Mumfords.

My take on things is that Mumfords would have already been signed up before then, and so there has to be a reason why they weren't put into the Sunday slot - and the only thing which seems to make any sense is that they weren't because they are or were the back-up for the stones.

It might be that the stones confirmed to Glasto and that has allowed Mumfords to be moved to Sunday, but my guess is that the stones probably didn't confirm (if they have, of course) before Glasto had sorted another act for the Sunday.

So I'm still plumping for Mumfords before the Stones, unless I get some info that says differently. But of course that's a guess made by piecing together various bits of info, so it always stands the chance of being wrong.

Mumfords would put people in a bloody good mood...

Look as much as you hate them, i've never seen someone ever come back from a mumford gig saying they didn't "give it their all" and that their "shit live".

Maybe they are one of those bands who on record are pretty dull, but in a good setting like a concert, really connect with the crowd, for example... this definitely looks like a bouncy performance to me.

Don't deny, the crowd are fecking loving it!

    • Based on previous times that rules quite a lot out of early summer festivals into the August runs.
    • No dramas man, I just like to follow others journeys as well. Get the inspiration, give out inspiration and the outdoors is the clear the head place to do it. I'm heading out for a easy trail run today I think, 10k- 10 mile we'll see how we go. I've got a half marathon in October I'm well unprepared for hahs
    • The Cheap Thrills at Mountford Hall, Liverpool.    They've been around for a while and have built up a large local following. Last night was their biggest yet, at a sold out 2,200 capacity venue.    It was a big old joyous, indie singalong from start to finish, the band clearly having the time of their lives. The debut album is out next month and they seem to be going down well on the festival circuit, maybe their time has finally come.   2 supports, I unfortunately missed Credits but the few songs they have on Spotify sound good, Americana vibes. The other was M60, reportedly Gary Neville's favourite band. If that's true, he's as clueless about music as he is football. To be fair, their sound was poor, maybe with a clearer sound they'd have been better but it was pretty dull.  
    • I can see them all merging along with the Tory’s . Restore curently couldn’t muster enough candidates to be a viable option . I lasted 4 mins and couldn’t watch any more . Lowe is just dull along with racist
