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?

Intresting I thought they done it just to fit in with Glastonbury Free Press, they seemed to bigging it abit with the extra posters on sale etc. (and the news of concretting the site this year at the ETC :P).

I quite like it actually!

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.

    • My wife works for a music company, they have an allocation already.  They run a ballot for it early next year. 
    • This is my guess too.    2028 festival breaks the £400 barrier. 
    • Yeah I did spot that AXS had more available for the O2 shows Muse are doing, though I think that comes with the territory of AXS now being the venue's primary ticket selling platform.    My instinct remains they'll probably still play to a big crowd on the night - sales were similarly slow in 2023 but videos of those gigs showed the venue looking pretty much full. Equally it probably would be sold out if the pricing was even just slightly less ridiculous. Shave up to £50 off some of these categories and I think that would've got people to go with it. 
    • Some are definitely already there with that and with another round of inflation looking like it's on the way, it certainly locks that in. And I say that as someone who also isn't willing to break the £100 marker.
