it might well mean the Spirit of 71 stage. the guy who programmed it was still calling it the glade last year.

Thanks for that, it did cross my mind & of course it's the old Glade stage.

I got a haul that couldn't wait until morning. This link should hopefully work.

It has Vance Joy playing Saturday on the Park Stage, Johnny Flynn playing Sunday on the Avalon Stage and James Blake playing Sunday on the Park Stage. I'd have my money on James Blake headlining that stage, he's definitely big enough now. Also, I'd imagine that an announcement may be pretty soon if those are being put up by the agencies.

yeah reckon James Blake will definitely be headlining Park then. saw him in the JP last year and honestly didn't think much, but i think that had a lot to do with the awful sound in that tent

if Kasabian, Massive Attack and James Blake are all headlining that night then i'm still in search of a Sunday headliner

I saw him at FN6 and didn't think much either.

I've still not seen James Blake live, and he could tempt me away from Massive Attack, provided for how I feel on the Sunday night.

I saw James Blake live at Latitude (2011?) on a tiny little stage, the Lake Stage I believe it was. Probably the most bass heavy performance I have ever witnessed. Not saying it was bad, he was actually quite good, but my ears were ringing for days!

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.   
    • Interview on 6 music earlier, was going to get the album to have a listen, but comes out the day they play the festival 
    • Additional dates added already    
    • I feel like it's not COMPLETELY beyond the realm of possibility that they could headline but I just don't see it.    They're not doing anything other than headlining. So nah, I don't see it.
    • Consider that the sound quality can be better near the front bars right behind the soundbooth rather than closer to the stage, like with mbv. And of course, the front sections are full of talkers too.   The most courteous move would be to have conversations in the very back of the field.
