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?

    • There's only one date that's not pretty much sold out 😂
    • Madonna lived in the UK for absolutely ages and I think is still largely London-based at the moment.  I'm sure she'll be well aware.     But it wouldn't need to be either / or.  Lots of acts do both  - Glastonbury for the hype and BST for the pay.  
    • There is a chance that Norton's reaction was very much like our reaction, because people in this country tend to think 'big = Glastonbury'.   Having said that, though, I'm fairly sure they've gone for her again this time, and it's broken down. Whether it's only just broken down or not, I'm not sure, but I'd air on the side of - they thought they had her, up to a certain point.
    • Yeah, I did wonder if they might be getting too big for Piece Hall now. Wet Leg did Castlefield this year and were subbing them at Tramlines. Wishful thinking! I'd happily see them do another outdoor headline in the north of England, wherever it might be (except R+L, which I'm def too old for now 😂)
    • You've certainly got a bunch of American acts who absolutely adore the festival and are willing to bring peanuts for it. You can never discount The Killers on that basis.
