It's like Emily booted up Glastonbury on the default setting.

I'd probably only see Radiohead, might see Coldplay if i'm too dead to go anywhere else

It's got one band I really wanna see, and two I'm not too bothered about seeing

perfect trio

1 band I love (Coldplay), 1 band I like but have seen at Glastonbury so a good back up if nothing else (Muse), 1 band I just don't get (Radiohead).

Cant complain at all.

My thoughts?

Michael or Emily saying "bands" doesn't necessarily get to mean only bands and not solo acts. 'Bands' is the most common way of saying 'acts' and so doesn't necessarily mean just bands. I don't think it's enough to change any thinking on Adele by itself.

It is, all the same, slightly more suggestive of Radiohead.

And it's good to have the Foos put to bed. I was always pretty sure they weren't in the mix.

I really fear that everything is pointing towards Muse/Adele/Coldplay :(

Don't get me wrong, it's an impressive set of acts, but I love seeing curve ball acts appear, even if I have zero personal interest. I know it's more than the Pyramid headliners, but there really is something special about the slot.

There's one of your precious female slots taken then.

feel like they're itching to get stuff out this year. That's a big booking but even so, in previous years they wouldn't have gone out of their way to announce it. Do we think we'll actually get the lineup pre-balance this year?

    • What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.
    • Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......
