Sounds like a hoot. Lineup filling up nicely now. And if we get half of the heavily rumoured acts and acts touring around the time we're in for a cracking festival of music.

The headliner thread genuinely makes me sad. Especially considering theres only one more headliner to be announced.

47SOUL who take "the street music of Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and the Palestinian territories .... into the future with analogue synthesizers and electronic beats, and hyped verses from the four singers."

Thank you, I love world music and this is a new find for me, along with Songhoy Blues the presumed WH line up is looking good already.

Some of my favourite music memories of the festival have been world music acts, in my best ever list over the years Balkan Beat Box, and Ilham Al Madfai (From Iraq) on WH, and Oi Va Voi (With KT Tunstall) at the Avalon. Sweet!

I meanare they sure they're playing WOMAD? - the quote says WOMAD in June

They're on the official line up so I guess so. It says "booked for UK festivals Womad and Glastonbury in June 2015". So could read that 2 ways.

I'm sure i saw Gretchen in 2013 in a sparsly filled Accoustic Tent. She was great,Just what was needed for this tired and battered body on the Sunday afternoon

I was at that. Drinking whisky down the back. Pretty empty alright.

Christy Moore. Friday night Acoustic headliner?

Talked to a guitarist from Wolf Alice yesterday after their Rescue Rooms gig about playing Glastonbury and he said "I don't know - we can't say anything yet." I'm taking that as "yes, but we can't confirm it yet" because if they weren't playing, surely he'd just say no?

There's an extremely convenient gap in their touring schedule too.

My logic is undeniable.

That's good news, was annoyed to miss them last year.

      Latitude 2026

      Another great weekend with family and friends.  We spend most of our time between Obelisk, and second stage due to having young children.  Overpass, Florence Road, Nathan Evans, David Byrne and Alex James were the highlights for me.  Quite enjoyed a dance to Gok Wan on the Saturday too.   Certainly feeling the Latitude blues this week and looking forward to next year.   Also looking forward to all the predictions for next year in the 2027 chat.   Hope everyone had a great festival.

      How much is Burnham's success down to Manchester getting a shitton of investment for public transport infrastructure?   There's no doubt he did the work, but the money dumped into Manchester for him to achieve that was huge - the most of any infrastructure project outside London ever. Did that need a mayor, or just the money?

      Bristol was the only city in 2012 that voted for a mayor. We had a local independent who was popular, then Marvin Rees won and was so corrupt that Bristol voted to get rid of the position - having just had the WECA mayor position put in place as well.

      Sziget 2026

      By CCester · Posted

      They built a watering system and have been watering the island for the past few weeks to reduce dust, but given the current drought, there will still be dust. They will cover twice as much ground around the main stage with those plastic panels as they did before. They couldn't book Gogol Bordello because the singer was afraid the government would allow Russian security services to capture him if he entered the country. They didn't have much room to be selective about artists. They booked whoever they could get. This year's Sziget will be only about 50% of his original vision. He wanted a dedicated rock stage. They are preparing for a loss of 1.5 billion HUF this year. For some reason, student tickets are not selling in the numbers they had expected. He said that when he talks about the lineup being less important, he doesn't mean Sziget should have a weaker lineup than Primavera. Rather, it should have a similarly strong lineup combined with much more non-musical programming, so people from abroad come here to see the same artists but have a completely different overall experience. He didn't miss Sziget and originally wanted to spend no more than two days a week dealing with it, but now he's working on it full-time and has handed over control of the rest of his businesses.
