Sheesh, you'd think a PhD student would be a bit better at reading the sources. Who are you thinking atm?

Don't worry about it aha, there's been a long road of speculation so far and plenty more to come.

The Cure are strongly rumoured for the Sunday but The Strokes or Lady Gaga have been banded around as potentials for the Saturday so far. I'm sure this is just the beginning of it though.

I've been on a Strokes randomiser kick in a two hour gym session. It was pretty fucking good and I didn't even get much from Is This It. Strong. 

Guess it will depend on which level of give a shit arrives. For those who have never seen them, do not expect a Run Around Dave or Angus esque antics. They will stand still for two hours, but hey, they at least do encores these days which wasn't the case when we really wanted them.

Some sad news for those excited about getting Juicey Juice in your set - they very very rarely play it these days.

Despite that, I am IN. DESPITE not having a ticket. Hopefully this will upset the Hunter and daisy chain wearing crowd enough to throw their tickets in the pot with the gammons.

Must have missed something, what happened to Macca and why we so certain on The Strokes now?

He announced a additional date for the 29th. Its off. Strokes were said by someone on the thread time ago, Nick Grimshaw said them twice as a rumour live on radio twice on the run and betting companies have kept low odds - suspicious.

Usually I don’t even begin to care about the Headliners, but was quite invested in Macca and so now feel a) a bit sad and b) curious about what is going to happen now. 

 

I just don’t see the Strokes.... Their debut album was massive in alternative circles for about 12-18 months (and did get some mainstream exposure) but that was 15 years ago. Since then they just kind of vanished. I understand that they do still sell big (but infrequent) gigs but surely that is just to their original fans. It’s not even as if they have influenced a current trend or had a significant legacy; probably as a result of being so incredibly derivative themselves.

Surely if the festival was going to book a smaller headliner it would give a younger act (I.e. one with momentum and buzz) a leg up? That would have a much larger impact.

Definition of a singles album.

I actually thought a lot of First Impressions Of Earth was really good. Remove 3-4 songs from the second half of the album, have 15 Minutes as the closer and it would be a sure competitor with Is This It? for being their best album.

Barmy.

Not the bit about first impressions being good, it is a good album.

Yes!! FIOE is ace. Three or four of their absolute best.

Not discounting The Strokes likelihood, I think grimmy saying twice means something, but I’m always skeptical of betting odds, aren’t they basically just priced off of betting volume. So maybe people with insider info are betting on them, or maybe the general public are just taking a punt?

Her Coachella set was everywhere for a few weeks last year, biggest reaction I’ve seen from a Coachella set anyway. Thought then that Glasto would be trying to get her back to the farm soon

What I mean is I find it unlikely Beyoncé would do Glastonbury as a one off / not part of a larger tour.

coachella for her was before a tour with Jay Z. However if she was planning to be doing anything this year I’d imagine something would be announced so tickets could be sold

edit: I think Kanye is the only act in recent memory which did Glastonbury as a ‘one off’

Very random bet though... and to be consistently low is weird. Especially for a band that aren’t within there prime. 

The other candidates seem very unlikely. I 100% think they are now.

    • It can take around 30-45 mins to walk from the arena back to the transport hub with the crowds, depending on density. Allow even longer in poor conditions. I don't think you'd need to leave Linkin Park early though, you have at least an hour and 20 minutes to walk to transportation. I certainly wouldn't leave early in your shoes, knowing I can just walk to the airport if needs be (2 mile walk and another 30 - 45 min walk depending on your walking speed and conditions.) Maybe just don't linger too long for the toilet / food after Linkin Park have finished.  It will definitely make sense and all just fall into place on the night, don't worry too much and have a great time. The very worst that can happen is a little extra walking to the Airport Skylink bus stop, as those Skylink busses are 100% 24 hour. 🙂  GFS, ICON and ECMWF are ALL in agreement on the latest runs.... After a mildly moist Weds and Thurs, high Pressure building from Friday... Lets just hope they continue to agree... ☀️☀️☀️
