I for one found it a very insightful post! I now know that a band is potentially going to play Glasto! If nothing else its another band to add to the list of bands who we dont know have been confirmed yet or not, but with the added mystery of guessing the name too!

Its expert level rumour creation!

Why mention it at all, then?

I'm going guess Neil wanted to point out the hard to guess festival mentioned as some people might find the phrasing midly amusing.

Why do you post shit questions?

love it when people get upset by these cryptic clues :lol:

it wasn't even a cryptic clue, it was no clue and wasn't intended to be a clue. It was to show the sorts of things that are now getting sent out by bands.

And if anyone thinks that it's come from a band that's not in the rumours, they're dafter than a daft thing at a daftness convention. :P

at this moment (to my knowledge, anyway) they're the only band in the running.

There'll only be another band in the running if they knock it back.

They won't knock it back... will they? from the sounds of interviews with them they sounded all up for it just have to see what happens

I've got absolutely no idea.

One side of me thinks that the background stuff couldn't have gone on for so long (4+ months) without it reaching the ears of the band and having their explicit approval, whilst the facts seem to say that they are contractually barred from being able to do it and will not be doing it.

And IF Glastonbury are STILL trying for them, that would suggest they believe they are not contractually barred from playing?

I dunno how far along the line the process might have got to (or if my info is even actually right), so I dunno if 'still' applies. It might have been and gone already.

But yes, if they were going for them they would have been doing so in the belief that it could be made to happen - it would be pointless if that wasn't the case.

But I know that what an agent might say does not always match up to what it is possible to do.

As I say, I have absolutely no idea of what way an offer might go.

If the" exclusive" with soni is unbreakable etc...

but as you said Its not like they would ask if they didn't think some sort of deal was possible.

so basically they could of had an offer, there has been talks for a while but you're hearing different things so not sure which way its gonna go... hmm... interesting

    • 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. 🙂
