It is tough, though. Part of you feels you should, and you’re missing out if you don’t. But decided to see Ezra Furman over John Carr at eotr, and don’t regret it at all. Maybe a watershed moment for me. Hopefully I’ve broken the habit

I opted for The Chems over The Who and don’t regret it, what storming set that was. Then again, I suppose The Chemical Brothers are legends in their own right.

 

Not as much a legend but still a pretty big deal, I also swerved Adele for New Order. Again, absolutely loved their set.

I went to see him in Bristol this year, he was awesome and his band were really impressive too.

Was that at Colston? He was great.

That said the x2 records before the latest are both fantastic (I'm not quite as keen on the latest one, but the singles were great), so preferred the set a couple of years ago. But there you go. 

Would love to see him back at Glastonbury. Was a highlight on the Park the other year.

I'd like to cram in as much Ezra as possible from now on, to make up for all the years I never bothered paying him any attention because somebody had told me he was "a rockabilly singer".

It was indeed.  The energy they put in and also some of the issues he mentioned were really powerful.  Great to have artists prepared to speak out about the important things and get personal too, bless 'im.

A bloody good Kate Bush cover too  

I didn't see him at the Park and would welcome him back with loving arms in any form.

He seems to be over here loads.

Saw Ezra on the Park a few years ago and he was awesome in that mid afternoon slot.

Really is no better venue to watch a band than mid afternoon on the Park with a cider in hand. That might be my absolutely favourite part of Glastonbury. I'd go and see anyone in that slot to make sure I get that experience, even if it's an act i'm not familiar with! Really is an example of how the stage/atmosphere can mean more than the bands themselves.

100% agree with the Park being awesome. I love being able to flit between there and the crow's nest/the bar up near the sign.

Is there any reason why no one is mentioning Kendrick to headline? would love to see him and thought he was in with a chance for 2019.

He's expensive and DAMN. would be 3 years old by 2019 (with no sign of a new album coming out anytime soon)

We're 256 pages in, don't worry, he's been mentioned.

Which Year?!

i did the same in 07 - then they clashed again in 15 but I wasn’t there that year so didn’t have to choose - but I’d probably have done it again

Too expensive, hasn’t announced any dates for next year, it’s too soon after the Kanye debacle to realistically hope the Eavii pluck up the courage to book another black American rapper just yet, only seems to play for an hour at festivals, wouldn’t agree to be televised... all sorts of obstacles there unfortunately.

haha, i know he's been mentioned, just can't see any sign of him in the recent pages, which made me think there might have been some info ruling him out that i've missed.

[McCor]

Just popping in to say Hello. I'll be over in the The Resale Club if you anything.....

No but the reaction to him being booked was Emily getting a torrent of abuse, and that furore in turn apparently nipped in the bud what turned out to be the last chance of getting Prince to Worthy Farm, so whether rightly or wrongly you can understand them not rushing into risking a repeat.

Supposedly he was the mysterious Sunday headliner who, on seeing the reaction to Kanye, dropped out before ever being announced. We’ll never know but it sounds very plausible, and Emily has also said in interviews that they came within a whisker of having him play not long before he passed.

Can someone who's been here for the last 256 pages provide a quick recap? Who's rumoured, who's ruled out?

Macca and The Cure look likely.

1975/AM/Gaga/Stormzy/FM/Madge possibilities for third.

Latest from Neil is that that didn't happen. Apparently someone was claiming to represent him in the hopes of making it happen or something and the Eavii thought it was possible, but it turned out not to be.
