I am finding it hard to tell now who is being a windup merchant now and who has genuine views,

I think there needs to be a pinned thread at the top of the forum that must be read daily before going onto any of the other forums

Ed Sheeran is in the States

He's free on the Sunday though - so could you 100% rule him out? No? Very very unlikely but not impossible.

My problem is that none of the acts quite fit. Some fit more than others though.

Won't be Macca given his exclusivity at Roskilde which won't be fulfilled until July 3rd (or might be 4th? Can't remember) when he plays.

Florence 'could' headline, remember, if somebody like Prince dropped out. But why wait till June? No other UK shows either.

Blur seem quite likely given the 'other shows' line, but again why wait till June? There's no exclusivity either. Once the resale is over there are no tickets left, and so any announcement = publicity = ticket sales at Hyde Park and IOW. Similar stuff for Swift, sold out BST and no exclusive, so why the wait?

FM also doing IOW, but three nights in a row plus the categoric 'no' suggests otherwise.

Please no! I was looking forward to Glastonbury even more, in the comfort of knowing the ginger devil was on another continent for the duration. I'm gonna spend sunday fretting that he might suddenly appear when my guard is down.

Agree. Feels like we're missing a key part of the puzzle. Blur is the best fit but still doesn't feel quite right, can't put my finger on why though.

Part of me still (optimistically) wonders if this is some machiavellian plot and Prince is playing but the rumours have to be completely shutdown. He was rumoured to be back in London in June for some shows....perhaps those are the shows being referred to.

I think I need to accept it's not Prince.

Like i mentioned though why does it mean that Blur would be on the Pyramid, they could be Other stage headliners.

Mate you've cracked it:

Other headliners:

Friday - Prince

Saturday - Stone Roses

Sunday - Blur

Also looking forward to daft punk on West Holts

Edit: and The Who on Avalon

Blur haven't sold out their BST, and if they announce Glastonbury that's 100,000 Glasto people who could've bought Blur tickets and definitely won't because they're seeing them at G anyway.

Blur headlined last in 2009 on the Sunday night on the Pyramid stage, Do you really think they would be there again so soon and to play the same night? I find it highly unlikely.

Same gap as Coldplay headlining 2005 and 2011.

    • 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.
