While a world with no repeat bookings at all remains out of reach I'd much rather Stevie came back than Mumford and Sons or the Arctic Monkeys.

What happened with Prince again? Was he booked and then he decided not to do it?

Also why did the stones get a higher price than anyone for?

I heard he was booked but then pulled out because of the reception that Jay-Z got when he was booked OR it had gotten out that he was playing before it was official so didn't want to do it.  Either way, it was a great loss.

 

As for The Rolling Stones, I don't know why other than it's The Rolling bloody Stones and can command a higher price (despite not needing it)

Tbh I wouldn't really gave a monkeys if his set was largely identical. It was nearly 10 years ago now.

Exactly this. I was there and had a great time but can’t remember the set list. Maybe miss out the bit where Eavis came on stage though this time

This whole repeat bookings thing can go one of two ways.

You either get Arctic Monkeys or Muse stinking the place out every 5 years.

Or you can have acts like The Chemical Brothers putting on the set of the weekend every time they pop down. 

Stevie would be firmly in the rip-it-up camp and 9 years is enough time that you could have a field full of people who weren’t there the first time.

Were has talk of Fleetwood Mac come from? I thought they had been ruled out. 

Couple of people claiming to have talked to people in the know etc claiming the third headliners is Fleetwood. Could prove to be bollocks but it’s something to talk about at least!

Talk of two blokes was meant to be Stormzy and McCartney.

So that theory splits in two, either McCartney was pencilled in and has pulled and thus the 'two blokes' is now one bloke and a replacement. 

Or Macca was never ever booked and it still holds up with a mystery bloke being still in frame. 

Or its Coldplay again under the name Chris Martin who turns up on his own and does a Coldplay acoustic set on his norman.

      Let's hope you're right - having secret set by Olivia Rodrigo would be huge. It might even overshadow the Thursday trainwreck.   We'll see in a couple of hours.

      Occident has got larger over the years and there's relatively little overlap with mbv and OR fans that I think it would work fine as it would divide the crowd so effectively.   They don't even need to give the biggest stage from an optics perspective either, this would be billed as a secret short set and used to promote her new album.

      Really like this! Few artists a bit low I reckon like the Reytons, Yard Act, the Royston Club and Florence Road but I’d absolutely take this!

      Yeah Olivia Rodrigo walked right past me when leaving the crowd during The Cure set.   I had to escape where I was in the crowd so was just chilling in the bottom left corner when she walked through with a couple of others.    Thought it was her or someone who looked incredibly like her but no-one else seemed to pick up on it, either not bothered or just too engrossed in their own conversations to not notice..
