It's Florence

[Festival Liam]

Just me who's happy then? I was slightly disappointed she wasn't booked as a headliner in the first place so I've got no qualms about her not being headline size.

Plus it reduces the Benjamin Booker/SvE vs RTJ vs Flo clash that was causing me to cry profusely.

Marvellous!

 

I am pretty happy myself. I had no Friday headliner plans, and I think she should have always been booked over The Who. Will be a bit sad if I miss Mark Ronson as he has got a few decent songs, and could be something special with the right guests. But then he could also be poo with a bunch of session singers singing his crap new album.

someones almost got it! give the lad a hand

 

 

ahhhh the old exposed-as-a-tit-so-pretend-I-was-just-trolling trick.

I think Flo will do ok. She has pretty much nailed it every time she has played Glastonbury, and her tunes are actually pretty damn big. There will be singalongs and jumping up and down a plenty. This could go from being an underwhelming move to being a real hit. As has been said before, Flo 'gets Glastonbury' and I think she will do both herself and the festival justice.

I'm happy too. No dave grohl on site will mean tent thefts will be down massively

[cham08]

I'm quite happy.  Removes the Caribou/Florence clash for me. 

[Jackmypie]

One of the weakest nights in terms of stage headliners in years!

[Rose-Colored Boy]

One of the weakest nights in terms of stage headliners in years!

Better than last year's Saturday.

It's not

Ha

[Superscally]

She'll have the smallest crowd in a long time I reckon.

[The Nal]

She'll have the smallest crowd in a long time I reckon.

 

She will if Motorhead are on before. Worry they'll clear the field.

[denwyn]

Excellent choice, she should have had the headliner instead of that usless Hip Hop twat anyway

[Purple aki squat]

Appalling that this has happened, but obviously not much more they could do given the circumstances.

Still, its a real shot in the arm for wealthy, public school faux-eccentrics with minimal talent.

Agreed.

She'll be playing to field full of em as well.

[The Badger Bites Back]

Flo no....

[home to you]

She'll have the smallest crowd in a long time I reckon.

I assume you just don't like them?

[fat_man_joe]

The Super Furries' crowd is going to be very large.

[D-Low]

Considering she was already playing it's a bit of a swizz/cop out if you ask me. Something of Glastonbury's size, surely they could have got someone new in?

This means I'll probably miss Motorhead as they'll probably clash with Run the Jewels. Booooooo

[blackred]

She'll have the smallest crowd in a long time I reckon.

 

On par with Metallica, Gorillaz and Arcade Fire at a guess, and most recent Sunday headliners if it weren't for day tickets boosting their numbers.

 

Not as big as the Foos crowd mind, but definitely not small enough to cause issues elsewhere.

[Lynsey Cox]

Better than last year's Saturday.

and Sunday

People are forgetting that Florence isn't some sort of diva, and chose to sub Glastonbury for a lot less money, rather than headlining TinP, V Festival, R&L, which I'm sure she could have done.

She's been asked to step up at short notice, she's accepted it. Simple as that.

You may not like her or her music, but she's extremely popular

[doogie]

I've got a friend at the BBC and have heard that the BBC have agreed to stream Today at Wimbledon onto the Pyramid Big Screen between 21:00 and 22:15. 

 

 

Wimbledon doesn't start til the following week.

 

Maybe they'll show the football.  It is the Womens' World Cup quarter finals after all.

[The Placid Casual]

Unless they sub and Flo has an hour and a half, then it could work out perfectly!

[ericlered]

what a load of absolute shite.....couldn't have been a safer less inspired boring booking if they tried......guess itll give everyone whos not a fan of mainstream crap to check out whats on the other stages friday and saturday night now. though

 

 

yes they could: foo fighters.

Couldn't have put it better myself russy

[GlastoSimon]

I can't see this crowd shift that all you lot seem to see. 

 

- One of, if not the biggest Other Stage crowd since I've been going in 2010

- Catchy single played pretty much constantly on R1, therefore...

- Popular with the 'pop crowd', where as there was no headliner of this genre before

 

Also, people hang around the Pyramid like leeches. Anyone could headline and they'd be there, because it's the Pyramid. Won't be as small as Gorillaz or Metallica. 

 

I think they'll bring in a popular sub too (Ronson or a replacement or something), rather than shifting Motorhead
