Dunno why people are downvoting this. We don't really have much info on anyone but The Cure and Macca, and with The Cure now ruled out of the Friday it's hardly out of the question for it to be Stormzy/The Cure/Macca. Obviously most of us are predicting Arctic Monkeys but it's mostly just guessing.

If all the word of mouth rumours are true then we’re on Stormzy/Mumfords/The Cure.

There will be others but there will never be another Benson.

Surely  the Big 50 will see some sort of collaborating and enormo-names on stage...So

 

Friday - Artics, subbed by Stormzy.  Some sort of 'classic' 90's type enormo band on the Other

Saturday - Fleetwood Mac, subbed by Eagles.   Current fave but not quite Pyramid on the Other with less DadRock vibe.

Sunday - MCartney & guests - subbed by the Cure.  'Edgier' option on the Other.  Chemical Bros maybe... 

Unless there is an Oasis sized disruption ( Maybe Saturday in that case)

Metallica secret gig (Park).   

 

But - what do I care?  I retired form Glastonbury in 2016, hitting 18 joy filled festivals over 21 years - stopping aged 50 as there seemed to be enough stars aligned to call it day before having a bad one.

Hopefully it will all look good on TV.

I had a dream last night.

 

I was at Glastonbury. It was really nice and sunny and they had a water park there. Y'know, huge swimming pool, lots of slides etc. It was really fun. Then I went and flirted with some girl but it was just a ruse to pinch her burger. Then I went over to a food stall and they were selling.... The Cure-inspired food.

 

confirmed lads 

 

Well I had a Glastonbury dream last night where Bon Jovi did a normal gig on the Pyramid and then just Jon came back on to host some sort of game show (he came back on at the head of a military horse procession wearing a red soldiers outfit but I dont think thats important). I was sitting on the left hand side of the stage sorting cds with a work colleague and there was a safety curtain like you get in a theatre. When that was over I hotfooted it back to my accommodation which was a butlins type chalet and met some mates to do some tree climbing.

Quite good, but not even a little bit of flirting, with an ulterior motive? Could you try again tonight??

Good.

I feel like we're being a bit too complacent about the threat of Mumford & Sons. It's alright us saying they're yesterday's jam but it seems like the rest of the biggest festivals in Europe are booking them as headliners next year, that latest arena tour shows they're not lowering their sights and, crucially, they're friends of the farm. Seems like kind of a low risk option.

If it ends up happening I'm holding you personally responsible.

The upside would be a night away from the Pyramid at least.

Next year is also Chinese year of the banjo.

To be honest having three big headliners isn’t always a good thing. Ended up seeing all three in 2017 and I felt like I might have missed out on a lot. So if Mumford were to play it wouldn’t be that bad of a thing.

Mumford won't be headlining....it wasn't the craziest turn out last time and tbf they are back for the cash. If their tour sells well then they'll be fine yet. 2021 before you see them.

Yep Mumfords are playing. You pricks with tickets are getting Mumfords & Sons/Kings of Leon/Coldplay and you're going to be fucking grateful for it.

Looks like id spending my nights at every other stage.. Couldn't name 3 more terrible bands if I tried.

 

When do we think first announcement will happen?

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
