Parody twitter is it? (I have no idea but it mentions an International Fart Festival in one tweet - now I hope it's not a bot!)

I can't think of a better way to announce your international fart festival than via a bot.

I've been lazily saying Gorillaz since the Macca dream died, nice to see a scrap of evidence to support me so I don't look like a complete arsehole.

Apparently, according to Festival Info, Gorillaz and a few others have leaked. Gorillaz would headline wouldn’t they? @eFestivals have you had any runnings with these before?

Triptykon? Hopefully that is Tom G Warrior's tribute to Hellhammer that is doing the rounds this summer, lol!

Sorry if it's already been covered but does anyone know why David Attenborough is a strong rumour all of a sudden?

Well obviously, I just want to know how people already know that.

Corbyn did a speech at the festival in 2017. They've had Tony Benn many times etc,

Assume Attenborough will be doing a speech about the environment and so on. Hes become increasingly vocal about it in the last few years.

Or he could be just plugging his new show. Or telling us when Dynasties is out on bluray.

Yeh it wouldn't be a massive surprise if he's there, cool though. So nobody knows why he's suddenly become a strong rumour?

According to my Time Hop Coldplay were announced 8 years ago today. It appears I wasn't pleased!

Oooh, while writing this BBC 6 Music are blasting out At The Drive In - One Armed Scissor. That would be nice on the farm.

There was a thread on here called ‘David Attenborough’, where the OP said there’s a rumour that he’s gonna be making an appearance.

It was Sawdusty Surfer wasn’t it? Not sure exactly what he does but he’s worked in the general Green Fields area for years I believe.

I was running in in El Paso a couple of years ago (their home town) and ran past a huge adult drive-in with a huge sign that proclaimed "couples welcome". Jesus... 
I wonder if that had any influence on their name...

Im not hugely excited by The Cure but I like then enough Ill prob go see then and enjoy it (bar some unexpected mega clash). Only headliner Ill prob bother with if the current projections are correct. 

No idea what ill do Friday night, Wu Tang Saturday and The Cure Sunday, ill take that, might just end up in the South East corner Fri. 

Having missed him in 2016 (Foals/Muse) and 2017 (Radiohead) I'm rather hoping Billy Bragg will headline Leftfield again on the Friday.

I did wonder if he might be introducing a film screening at Cineramanamanammanaegdeon, similar to Depp.

Hopefully it's him in Kings Meadow on Sunday morning telling everyone to take their shit home the next day.

I think there's a very high chance. He's done it on the Friday every year since 2010 when he headlined on the Saturday.

It very well could be a screening of Our Planet, the documentary by the WWF that will hopefully make anyone not shitting their pants and changing their ways do so: https://www.wwf.org.uk/updates/our-planet-trailer 
P.S. I am well aware that my avatar is Randy Savage... The other WWF, not the wrestling one.

Don't even think they're gonna be there, Australian tour starts a couple days after and they've been told they're not winning anything so not going.

It won't have anything to do with not winning anything. They are on stage in Perth less than 60 hours after the Brits begins. Probably need to be out there before Friday with the flight....
