if they're searching for a last minute replacement then it's gotta be hasn't it? can't think of any other reason that they'd leave it this late (the booking) and have to go for an act who themselves have ruled themselves out (assuming it's Blur, or even Mac)

Do we know they're looking for a last minute replacement? Or is that just a guess.

Fascinated to know if his Purpleness fucked The Eavae off again.

Hopefully he had and will never be approached again, I've just stepped off a long groggy turbulent flight and these assaults of the mind are something I cannot handle

Is it Wednesday? Is it not Wednesday? Just please tell us it's definitely Wednesday

It's not going to be Blur with BST/IOW? It's not going to be FM with IOW?

Can we confirm Radiohead now please? Thanks all

On the other hand...Fleetwood Mac have been saying for years that they'll do it. Maybe they finally cracked and thought 'fuck it let's just do it'.

Do you think they would do 3 nights in a row though?

I'm not sure. They don't really seem that bothered about doing it. you would of thought eavis would of asked em a few times.. I'm pretty sure they would of had the option but they have booked elsewhere.

From the news we have tonight. I cant see it being Swift or Florence headlining.

I can see both subbing.

I agree but if you can say we have the biggest star on the planet closing our festival that would tick a big box despite the inevitable outrage. If this is the endgame it would help if you already have an incredibly stong line up out there that the public are digesting/ frothing over. The media would lap it up. I just want her to play!

RADIOHEAD good relationship with festival. New album in the process of being made... Possibility?

I guess anyone is possible right now but the fact that we might get the lineup without the 3rd headliner announced yet suggests it's an act who have contractual obligations elsewhere (i.e. FM/Blur)

So a full lineup without the third headliner prehaps? Odd?

Not much different to last year really

It doesn't matter if you are at the back they sound really good even in the MEN...I remember seeing Foos there in 2007 and we were as high up at the back as you could get but that gig was just the best!!

I'm getting really excited for my giggage pre-Glastonbury :)

I have Bearded Theory six weeks time - probably the best line up ever for them.

I'm on a 7-15 shift tomorrow so I look forward to reading Neil's update as soon as I finish. As far as predictions go for headers and subs now, Friday: Foos/Flo; Saturday:Kanye/Foals; Sunday:Fleetwood/swift.

Imagine Lionel Richie - Taylor Swift - Fleetwood Mac. My brain would melt into soft rock mush.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
