Depends whether we are talking at the start or the end of the set. A lot of these acts have lots of people who turn up at the start to see what the fuss is about then drift away quite quickly.

Fair point, certainly for the Gorrilaz.  

I’d certainly say Stormzy is more we’ll known though so people will stick around.  Plus the threat of special guests!

Having said that I might well pop along to see the start, depending on what's on elsewhere.

Yeah and they'll be at Silver Hayes.

I reckon we’ll see them stumbling out of the back of Shangri La, slowly emerging from Silver Hayes and blinking slowly into the daylight, they’ll converge for the first time, like a shambolic army of the halfdead, on the Pyramid. First time plenty of them will have been there

That was a Saturday, wasn’t it? The Other went through a stage of having big dance acts on the Sat, Skrillex, Deadmau5 etc, but quite often an older act in the Friday, New Order and Portishead come to mind. 

Dunno, could all be random, of course. Fuck knows

It was Saturday, but the dance acts were mostly Friday, weren't they? Skrillex was on Friday in 2014, then Rudimental 2015, Disclosure 2016, Major Lazer 2017. I don't think that'll continue next year, though because it'd be a dumb alternative to Stormzy. Unless it's an older dance act like the Chems.

And Portishead were on Friday, too. :P

In 2015 all of the Other headliners were dance acts, so they didn't really have a choice but to have one of them opposite Kanye, unless they just decided to not book one of them. Chemical Brothers opposite him and Deadmau5 on the Sunday opposite The Who/Prince would have made more sense, though, but idk if it was possible with other shows, etc.

The Moody Blues were on in the Acoustic.

Yeah I was just talking about the five main stages. Obviously there'll be someone like that on in the Acoustic when Stormzy plays.

At Glastonbury I reckon Noel would pull a bigger crowd than Stormzy. Noel is still pulling decent numbers at his own gigs and playing bigger venues than Stormzy.

I don't think they will place anyone anywhere near as big as Noel on the other, they would be stupid to risk it.

Nah, the Pyramid always gets the biggest crowd, because thousands of  people go to the Pyramid because it's the "main stage".

So excited to be coming to Glasto from the US this year...the first big fest of the year (Hangout) announced their lineup today and Travis Scott, Cardi B, The Lumineers, Khalid, Vampire Weekend, and Kygo are headlining...I threw up in my mouth a little, the US fest scene (outside Coachella and Bonnaroo) really blows lately...

In a good way or a bad way?

Highly highly unlikely but Mani has just Tweeted saying the Stone Roses are still together

Even more exciting (and likely to involve a Glasto appearance) is that the tweet in question was in relation to The Zutons reforming. I always felt like they had unfinished business. So happy!

    • I was following up to pink_triangle's post about what Reform are saying they will do to find money for defence spending.   But with Labour, they may well water down or delay some of the net zero commitments, they may find ways to cut welfare spending with Pat McFadden's welfare review thing, but I don't think it's going to be near enough. They really tied themselves down with the tax commitments in their manifesto, just reversing Hunt's NI cuts would have gone a long way. Under Burnham I think they may try and reform some of the tax system, land taxes and levies etc. Certainly needs reforming. But that might all be after a general election if Labour were to win.  I reckon they will try and do something with fiscal rules to borrow more, and try and persuade markets to go along with them.  (and he's already rowed back on that waspi thing...I think his team and others in Labour had a word).
    • Feels like Leeds getting axed is just a matter of time now, and to be honest, it might be the only way to save Reading. The whole twin-site format just feels proper dated and way too expensive to run nowadays. If they scrapped Leeds and focused entirely on Reading, turning it into a proper London-adjacent day-trip fest for the younger crowd like All Points East or Wireless, it would actually make sense financially. But yeah, for the old-school rock crowd, the R&L era is completely dead and buried.
    • Its the obvious  place to find savings but will Ed Miliband play along? Will Labour MP's finally accept benefits cuts? This is as damaging for Reeves as for Starmer. Its hard to see how either survives. Meanwhile Burnham is bringing up WASPI when there is no chance they'll get anything. He'll have to say something about funding defence.
    • Yeah, I managed 2 at once last year but the setup meant 1 per purchase, my partner had to do her one separately using her code   14th Primavera, bring it on!
    • I’m heading to this but need to leave on the Sat. Does anyone have any experience of getting back to the train station without the shuttle bus running? Seems like it might be tricky
