From Twitter:

There's more black people in Beyoncé right now than Trump's cabinet team. 

Love it.

Can't imagine it was taken six or seven months ago though, which it would've had to have been if she were to not be pregnant during Coachella

If that photo was taken 6 or 7 months ago she wouldn't be pregnant now, never mind coachella.

Maggie rogers has just announced a date in brixton for 21st June. Surely she is nailed on for glasto? I really like her stuff and think it would be good for a boogie.

going to put it out there that Tom Clarke opens the Other stage doing the album in full. They might not be that big anywhere but somewhere like JP would overcrowd and Wills Green is way too small.

Not a chance - The Enemy are a joke band and that album isn't nearly seminal enough for it to draw any kind of decent crowd that early. JP or WG would be just fine.

There is no way JP would overflow for Tom bloody Clarke!! I don't even think Williams Green would even be full, him doing the album acoustically just reeks of desperation.

JP overcrowd? For the ratty lad to do an acoustic run through of a shit album that has aged dreadfully? Dreary me.

I just hope it doesn't clash with The View's "10 Years of whatever the fuck our album was called" set.

"It seems Beyonce is somewhere in the vicinity of 4, maybe 5 months pregnant. Coachella is slated for April, so she'll be well along and obviously very big, given she's having twins."

She's either gonna have to totally rethink her show or pull out for sure.

edit: apologies for bringing Beyonce back up - just interesting festival news

She can set up a maternity room on stage and belt out the hits between contractions. She's having twins so she can do a show both weeks.

This has almost certainly been bought up in the 148 pages of this thread so apologies in advance, but would there be any chance of Metallica showing up in support of their latest album?  I know it hasn't been long since they headlined and they have no UK tour dates announced as far as I'm aware, but I think they could give Ed a run for his money if they headlined Other as an alternative to Green Day maybe?  Im probably way off but could be a possibility as they seem to love the festival.

It hasn't been brought up (I don't think) because it definitely won't happen. 2014 was a rarity and I can say with confidence that they'll never play the festival again. Not sure where the info came from but I seem to remember them not being lined up for any UK festivals this year and will return to do one/some next year instead. Lars may be there as a punter though as he seems to have fully embraced it.

I thought as much, although in my opinion its a shame, would much rather see them rebooked at some point in the future than Muse or Coldplay! Reading or Download 2018 would be my guess in that case.

She's so damn powerful that she could actually do that if she wanted.

PM me your address. I'll burn you all 6 of my Beyonce driving CDs and send them to you first class in a padded jiffy bag.

[dentalplan]

The hell does Beyoncé gestating have to do with touring or Glastonbury?

In skipping over that I almost missed the claim that the guy from The Enemy hunched over his six-string would draw a crowd beyond the capacity of the largest tent at the biggest festival in Europe.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Underground Piano Bar for yer Enemy bloke, given his longstanding preference that people refer to him as a hobbit.
