would love to see major later this year.....but can't see them fitting in anywhere apart from dance stage...pitting them against rebel sound & metallica would split the crowds up, even though people will bitch and moan about the clash......but like someone else said, closing set next year is more likely

They'd close the stage early to avoid a clash with Rebel like they did with Flume/Disclosure last year

off topic but can anyone see Tom De Longe 'doing a Gerard Way' this year

If anything, Angels & Airwaves would play like they did a couple of years back.

I actually like AVA's album work but they don't work live on a main stage, more of an 02 Academy band for the actual followers.

Is there a particular reason why Angels & Airways shorten their name to AVA and not A&A, or ANA? Doesn't seem to make any sense, which is fine, but if it's bollocks at least I can move on safe in the knowledge of that.

I don't know why I looked it up, as don't particularly car, but checked. It should be AAA, but they inverted the middle A to a V for the logo, as Ava is Delonge's daughter's name. Awww.

Special guest TBA has to be Alt-J, it's R&L whatever you want it to be it will always ALMOST ALWAYS be lower than expectation and this year is a classic example of that

Metallica were better than expected

Yeah but look at the impact it had on everyone's pre main announcement predictions. :(

If Alt-J are indeed not in a subbing position at Glastonbury this year and given the upgrade to TBC status leaves it in the same position that it's believed another act will headline other that day. Also given the point it'd be rather surprising if they were subbing main stage that day, I'm fulling expecting that to be a female act, then the R&L special guest is most likely not Alt-J.

...Err realistic predictions? They were pretty accurate going by the scores everyone got?

I was hinting more at the fact many of us thought Interpol/Weezer/Death Cab were realistic possibilities for this year, possibly as a result of Metallica's booking .

I think Weezer only became a serious possibility (for some of us) when lightning's friend had info that turned out to be duff. It was a nice 5 minutes of hope though.

DCFC definitely always unrealistic, Interpol are still a plausible booking, but don't seem like they're ever gonna be booked again to be fair.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?
