Hasn't he been involved with the glasto artwork for the last few years?

Not sure about last year but definitely in 2011. My 2011 tshirt has a tiny Radiohead bear in the design on the front.

Now looking into it, it appears he has. I'm fairly new with Glastonbury so I guess it passed me by but that's pretty cool.

i'm pretty sure he's been involved with glasto artwork since at least '03.

he seems to have spent the last while recycling old ideas.

and not particularly good ones may i add. it works with the Radiohead stuff, but the Glastonbury poster this year is horrible. i thought it'd been hobbled together last minute by somebody on Microsoft Paint. surprising to hear that it's done by a genuine artist

Ah cool didn't realise that - I love the Kid A artwork. I thought the poster was good design wise - even if it doesn't make the band positioning clear. Usually its just a bland list of names. Cant beat the good old yellow Leeds/Reading posters for identity though!

For the Radiohead geeks: Stanley Donwood (Radiohead artist for years and years) did the latest Glastonbury poster, which is why it kinda looks like this from the Kid A booklet...

...and why some sites are speculating that Radiohead are the special guests. If only. Might get a poster this year, mind.

Thank you for pointing this out!

so I heard a few days ago, this is to be the new style of everything Glastonbury from now on.The release of names last week was also considered to be the release of the new style by the festival.

Glastonbury rebranding? So will we still see some guffy quote on the lineup poster? New ticket style?

When you say new style, do you know if that means that there will not be a stage by stage poster?

i've always wondered if there's a connection between glastonbury getting that old printing press and stanley donwood. as in was it his suggestion/pet project or something. cos he's been fascinated by using old-fashioned printing methods for ages. it just seemed quite the coincidence that the artist-in-residence or whatever he is is known for using something that then, quite randomly, shows up in the fields.

      2027 Headliners

      By smiffy98 · Posted

      I don’t think the festival automatically ‘need’ to have a female headliner if you have strong female headliners on the Other Stage (which I reckon will be Rosalia and Phoebe Bridgers), perhaps a female legend (praying for Annie, will take Cher), and a few female/mix gendered subs on the Pyramid (maybe London Grammar, The xx). From what I’ve seen of Sabrina, her team prioritises the pay day and I think she will be doing Wembley over Glasto weekend.   One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of the suggestions would be first time headliners and I can’t work out when the last time was that the festival had three artists top the bill that hadn’t topped it before? It seems to be something they like to do to make sure they have a ‘safe’ headliner that will land well with the masses. Plenty of names in that hat that could step back up next summer and should/could be about: Billie Eilish, Adele, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Radiohead, U2…hell, if Beyoncé is really planning to release a ‘rock n roll’ album to complete her Renaissance trilogy, Glastonbury would be a great place to ‘kick off’ that campaign for her.   And there’s always the Rihanna rumour. Her husband (I think) said this week she’s in the studio.
