Shhhh! It has a rubbish title let it be forgotten and at the appropriate time someone will create a new one just called Headliners 2020.

All the 2020 threads have been archived. Although it’d have to be “2020 Headliners” or it’d be just as stupid as (the biggie).

Apologies if this has been covered already, but wasn't Jordan Rakei supposed to be self-confirmed? Really hope he's added to the lineup. 

If he was we didn't know about it - see https://www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/glastonbury/2019/lineup.shtml and the 'Self-Confirmed' thread. But an act of his size probably wouldn't have made the poster in any event.

Hmm, maybe this information was incorrect then. He's bigger than a handful of acts on the poster, but then again as a fan I would say that.

OK - he's bigger than I thought, but not of the size you'd necessarily expect him to be on the poster. As you've posted this came from GlastoFestFeed, you should look on their site, which has a link to a Twitter confirmation by his label PR that he'll be there.

Ah - just found said link. Thank you. Definitely recommend catching him if you can, he's ace.

Question:

I'm determined to be close (in front semi circle or bit behind it) for The Killers on Saturday. A few headliners have been ruined recently (Radiohead) due to being too far back with talkers (and shit visuals). 

Any tips on getting there/ when I'll need to start heading there?

I usually find heading far down on the sides and cutting across can work at most stages. Would right or left work better at the pyramid?

Any tips welcome.

Cutting in from either side works ok. Obviously, earlier the better. If you want to guarantee a good spot get there before the band subbing finishes, a lot of movement in the crossover and you can get close in.

If I've ever wanted to get closer to the front I've always chosen the left-hand side as you face the stage. Hug the fence that leads up to it, the crowd can be sparsely spread out here, then at the point where the barrier starts, cut inwards. Choose the right time, usually at the changeover point and politely and steadily work your way through. Do it with a big smile on your face and interact with your fellow Glastonauts as you move closer and it'll be a pain-free process

Did exactly this part way through The XX for Radiohead, got as far as I could without having to squish past, waited for the switchover then made my way to the middle as fast as possible.

As others have said, make your way towards the stage during the sub headliner, slowly move your way along the bottom left. If you can get into the area before the subheadliner finishes, you'll have a lot of people near you wanting to leave and a lot wanting to go in, just smile and follow the quickest moving group. Make friends on your way in as the guys you're standing near you'll be next to for the next 45 minutes and then you get to find out why they want to see the band and enjoy the moments together.

This . Been at the front (in circle) for muse Coldplay stones Kanye Radiohead  . Get towards the sides for the last 20 mins of the sub and get in when the crossover happens . I’ve sat through subs before just to guarantee it. I think crowd position is a massive influence in how much I enjoy a gig

I find at regular gigs (depending on size) anywhere in the first 3rd / half is normally pretty good and lively deppending on the band. At festivals however especially on main stages, outside of the front circle is normally very calm and relaxed.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
