On an irrelevant note how bad is that U2 poster?

Looks like it was done on microsoft word!

Given its supposed to be like the original tour poster from over 30 years ago, which was way before Word was invented, its hardly a surprise is it.

Not a headliner, but NME have just posted a story saying Kris Kristofferson has added Glastonbury 23rd as a tour date on his website

You can remake an old poster at the same time as bringing it up to date though.

You wouldn't get a remake of a old film being done on 70s equipment would ya?

Its obviously ed after seeing his stupid smirk when he was asked on radio 1

I keep having a dream where it's Radiohead - Ed - The Stone Roses but then my alarm goes off and I realise it's Foo's (an early entry to the South West corner) on the Sunday night

Ed would not be one of the headliners in my dreams... nightmares perhaps.

He would if you had £20 on him to headline the Saturday at 10/1

If The Prodigy dont appear Friday then my early entry is going to be Friday night although I shall checkout a bit of Arcadia 1st. I'd like Ed to be announced so a couple of Ed bets come in.

Do you not like any acts that could headline any stages other than Pyramid or Other?

I keep forgetting that I (and several others here) have a nice little windfall if it is him!

Kaiser Chiefs subbing the Pyramid in 2017? What a depressing thought if true. It really defies belief how they have gained popularity just from Ricky Wilson being on a karaoke TV show. Nobody gave a shit about them anymore, about 5 years ago. Would be a seriously depressing booking in my opinion. 

I've just (belatedly, I know) found out Gavin Rossdale is his replacement on The Voice. Scary thought for the future.

How can you say just because Foos are headlining the Pyramid that it's an early entry to the SE corner? Is it Pyramid headliner or bust, with no consideration for the other stages? Genuine question, not a criticism, I just see it said so often I've always wondered about people's reasons.

We all have to pray he's on Saturday though! 

[giantkatestacks]

Have just heard the new Ed Sheeran song (am slow). It's absolute shit. I was rather surprised just how shit it was tbh.

Yeah slight exaggeration on my part, probably because of a few failed attempts at getting into the South East Corner last year I'm kinda looking for a night when I can go there early. If there's someone I'm into headlining another stage though, that plan will go to shit

Page 286 was strong material. 10/10, would read again.

This will be my 3rd year and not had a chance to experience the SE corner yet. Last year I was gonna go on the Sunday night as I wasn't fussed about any of the headliners but stories of the Saturday night chaos put me off (put myself through Cold play :/)I'm not a Radiohead fan so unless something else grabs me on another stage on the Friday then I may try and take that as my opportunity to check it out.

go on Thursday, most if not all of it is open from about 7pm onwards IIRC. there's also some parts open on Wednesday too. going down after midnight on Fri-Sun for a gawk is pretty pointless IMO, unless you want to see a particular act playing there. far too busy with people packed in getting shunted aimlessly around the place, especially in Shangri-La. other parts aren't too bad.

Good shout. For some reason I always forget I have the Wednesday and Thursday night to play with.

Don't know if this has been mentioned but was just watching the Ed Sheeran interview from Zane Lowe. Ed says 'There's something coming in the summer that will be one of the highlights of my career' when talking about shows. Surely he should be TBC status by now?

It's so guaranteed that as much as I'd like to see them, I'm kind of hoping Foo's aren't actually the third headliner, purely so we can have some kind of surprise.

I'm aware of the irony of expecting surprises when I'm in what is effectively a spoiler thread...

[siweltrebor]

Well Shape of You was written by Ed for Rihanna and then he kept it for himself and this album.

Mumfords third album completely killed what made them remotely unique and interesting in the mainstream, ditching instruments and just becoming a generic band fit for the stadium tours.
