BBC4 are showing the Jeff Lynne/E.L.O documentary and last year's Hyde Park Concert again on Friday night.

Worth a watch for those of you who are still on the fence about him being a headliner contender.

and gary barlow and friends is currently on ITV :sarcastic:xD

It's going to be Florence isn't it. The only reason we are debating it is because of the comment from Emily saying "it's not her but she could" or words to that extent.

No other slots at any UK festovals announced (big weekend not included) the only reason for this being that she's got the Glasto slot in the bag.

I mean of course we need to speculate to stay sane.. but im Sure it'll be florence 100% sure even!

I've been thinking Florence all along despite what Emily said. I can't see how she's big enough to headline though.

There's just no way she wouldn't be at any other festivals if all she was going to do is sub..

Unless as I believe Neil has hinted at the "she could be" relates to her being ready to step up should they not get P*****.

I know she's a friend of the festival and she would probabaly be willing to accept that if it were as above. But she could of had her pick of most UK festivals this year.

It won't be the purple one and florence has it in the bag,

Now we just need then line up first thing tomororw to confirm this as all ive done today is check Twitter every hour on the hour!

Headlined Latitude and Bestival and subbed a few of the major fests already and shifts gig tickets quicker than a few recent headliners. I can obviously see why people would be iffy on her headlining as it's the first major one but I think it's hard to argue for clearer choices to move up to the top line at major festivals. Pretty much why it's been predicted since post #1 of this rollercoaster.

    • 13th Primavera (Thursday was definitely making me feel like this was the cursed year).  Blood Orange was such a party by the end of their set but we all knew that rain storm was approaching.  So gutted Massive Attack didn't play after the false hope of a new rescheduling, especially knowing that Elizabeth Fraser & Horace Andy were backstage with them!  Managed a bit of Melt Banana but was just so over the weather by that point.   Friday was awesome, Rilo Kiley were so much fun.  Never been the biggest Cure fan but made the effort for them after Thursday & Robert Smith sounds like he did back in the 80s.  PinkPantheress & Viagra Boys were also great.   The highlight for me was Sudan Archives on the Saturday, she was stunning & with the Olivia Rodrigo surprise set too it made up for the Thursday sh*t show.  Dijon & Knocked Loose also superb.   Shoutout to Cardiacs on the Tuesday too, they were so LOUD, played a storming set.    
    • OK, never mind, I'll take normal Nine Inch Nails.
    • Probably my least favourite of the five editions I've been to, but still plenty good enough for me to go again. Weirdly, I was just totally running out of stamina a lot earlier into the night than I remember happening in the past. I feel like I missed a lot of the weirder sets on the smaller stages as I was just totally cooked. Not Primavera's fault, obviously. Maybe I'm just getting old - or maybe I need to pace my drinking better...   Anyway - is David Byrne a realistic get for next year? Certainly hoping so.
    • watching clips of the cure in Barcelona, wow 2 hours 25 minute set. That's gonna be tough on the Sunday but can't bloody wait for it
