Lorde

So, after pulling out of 2014 Lorde is back three years on. What do we reckon? With her much anticipated new record coming out one week before Glastonbury I expect her performance to pull a big crowd. Green Light is a certified banger and I'm looking forward to hearing more of the new stuff. Where do we think she will play? Sunday afternoon Pyramid?

Post RightBazza seems like the obvious place to plonk her.

She's got one song tho really. No right being that high up considering the pop names that have gone before her on that stage.

Also she's a phoney and a hack and I hope Lana puts a witches' curse on her.

edit: not a bad one tho. Just hairy hands or something.

The poster makes me think that she's subbing the Other. She's at the end of a line of acts we're expecting to be headlining or high Other Stage. Still higher than I was expecting and much higher than I think she deserves but yeah, could happen.

Interesting idea and I'd be all for it. I reckon a gig in the evening would suit her better than an afternoon slot would. I also think that she is a much bigger pull than last years subs (Bastille and Chrvches). That said, I am a fan.

This shows an ignorance and lack of knowledge, she's a global superstar

Nah bruv I know all the songs but I was making a judgement on chart success. She's had one top 20 hit (which went to no. 1) and not a fat lot else. Considering Ellie Goulding had the same slot as mooted last year and has smothered the country with her hits like cling film to the face, I don't see it.

I see the buzzword is 'global' which I take is meant to say 'big in America and NZ', as she's in fairly small writing on festival bills closer to the UK.

Last time she was rumoured I had a weird longing to see her even though I didn't really like Royals. She just has something about her. Now, with Green Light being a complete banger and throwing us a gorgeous ballad, I am all in. 

She was only rumoured afterwards, wasn't she? I remember hearing after the weekend she was either meant to be guesting with Arcade Fire or opening Other Stage but had to pull out. I'm not sure which was the pukka rumour.

Pretty much same. Royals didn't really grab me but felt that she was someone I could like. The new songs are fantastic so I'm all in

I've just listened to three of her songs. Astonishing she has that slot.

What slot?

    • Skylink is 24 hours... But the skylink will drop you off at Pegasus business Park or EMA (East Midlands Airport) where you'll have to use the Download shuttle link, which isn't 24 hours. The last shuttle from the Download transport hub to EMA is 12:15 TrentBarton / Local bus info here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/download2026   Skylink Derby / Leicester / Loughborough timetable here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/services/skylinkderby  Shuttle timetable here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/userfiles/hotel.pdf If you miss the shuttle, which is very doubtful, you'll just have to find another way to EMA / Pegasus business park, maybe a taxi. You could even walk to EMA from the Download transport hub, wouldn't take too long. Just make sure you use the airport's 'circular path' instead of the dangerous roads.  I walk the circular path often, it's nice and easy. I would post instructions but I very much doubt you'll miss the shuttle, and if you do, it isn't hard to work out. The footpath is clearly signposted from directly opposite / across the road from where the download map has labelled "Pickup and Drop Off Exit." 
    • So for Harry Styles it was actually a plastic bag that basically blocks the view of the front and back cameras. You can still use the phone screen. It's much easier than using lockers, especially for people leaving for the last train etc    I think it's basically reliant on the threat of security kicking you out if you start filming.
    • Hey, does anybody have a joining link for the WhatsApp group plz? I know the secret sets get posted there but have a new phone and number
