Lads and ladies, just to put a slight spin on things but doesn't this happen every year. We're all sat ever so slightly despondent on the lacklustreness of the predicted headliners then BAM Glastonbury does something from leftfield (not the tent) and announces something unexpected or have I got rose tinted glasses?

I'm a dreamer. For me the dream is still alive. 

La la ooh la laa ga ga ooh la laaa

On the contrary I find that we're always dreaming pretty big in the lead up, usually knowing two out of three headliners but foolishly hoping the third will be Bowie/Prince/Fleetwood Mac/Stone Roses/Madonna but then in the few weeks leading up to the poster drop come to the realisation that it's actually gonna be Mumfords/Kasabian/Coldplay/Muse/Ed Sheeran.

The Killers seem significantly worse and even unbelievable than that lot because they're an act we often laugh about as being a fill-in headliner when they're announced for other festivals as they're seemingly never not at a UK festival, but from the sound of it that's exactly what they'll be doing for Glastonbury this year. We've had our hopes of Madonna, Fleetwood Mac etc for this year - it's time to come to terms with the reality that the festival, due to no real fault of their own, dropped the ball a bit this year.

Damn it, you're right. NOW I'm convinced by the Killers rumour

I've been away for a week and somehow we've got through nearly 50 pages which I wont be going back through ?

Now we've got the balance payment window (1st - 7th April) and the resale dates what do we think the chances are of getting something (anything!) before 7th April ?

I’d say there’s a pretty good chance of the first poster arriving before then.

I mean I get the whole this is how Glastonbury do it thing and so much more then the headliners etc. but throw a dog a bone. 

It feels like its slow old progress for getting any form of announcements this year.

Is it just me or does it seem like we have way less solid info this year than usual?

Definitely seems like we have less of an idea of how the top of the main stages are gonna pan out other than the likes of Liam G subbing which we’ve known for ages. Not sure if that’s just because people have been more tight lipped or if it’s just usually easier to guess. Both excited and nervous about this in equal measures.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
