"Really big secret"

[sadimmock]

Nothing would make me happier than R.E.M but sadly I believe that Peter Buck is playing live in the U.S over the weekend. Sorry to be the crusher of dreams.

Yes, he's touring with Alejandro Escovedo, sadly absolutely no chance of R.E.M. at Glastonbury.

They said they stopped as they grew to hate the music business. Don't think they've changed their minds, judging by everything they've said since. 

I cant see the secret relating to any surprise band now.

I think possibly the 'really big secret' was/is actually the three separate TBAs across the three days. Individually they aren't 'really big secrets' in their own right, but add the three together and and it become so 'a really big secret' to have three separate mediocre suprises.

After the line up, I dont think it's an artist. I think the big secret is probably the new area between the Other / Greenpeace? There is no mention of it on the line up so far and it's not on the map yet, which is strange and makes it seem like something special is happening there. Depending on the size of the new area there could still be more than a few decent sized acts to come.

That's likely to be just a reorganisation of the far side of The Glade to accommodate LBHQ.

I'm gonna tell you all where I am at, bored to fuck with waiting !

That said, I'm out !

 

 

Until something interesting happens of course.

Liam was pretty much confirmed yesterday.  That's the closest you're going to get to something official.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with Franky, some of the ideas are so far fetched you must be out of your mind.

I'm out!

Not only did he not headline but he's also a producer of music in his own right. He just doesn't play other people's records.

If it is 'just' Annie Mac, I think it's a very lazy booking, for a headliner. 

of the few times I've seen Fatboy Slim over the last few years, he's played 95% other people's music (and really shit music at that).

Annie Mac plays lots of tripe but is still far better than Fatboy Slim in this day and age. as said, she was probably subbing and got bumped up. if she wasn't clashing with Dizzee Rascal and Major Lazer, I'd say the tent would be full for her.

What? Where? Where the Glade is? Or where the recharge tent / camping field is?

Probably right tbh

[Bradders]

After three TBAs were announced on the main stages and Liam Gallagher was added to the poster people still think it's something else?

No they're not, in a million years, and I bloody love the National! 

Go look at 2016 head & subs for both stages. Even down to 3rd. The national aren't anywhere remotely as known as any of those acts.

For Pyramid : Muse, foals, Adele, tame impala, Coldplay, beck. 

Other: Bastille, disclosure, new order, churches, LCD, PJ Harvey. 

bands that played 3rd down included 1975, bring me horizon, catfish, Ellie Goulding, zz top & last shadow puppets. All generally radio 1/2 (6at a push) fodder popular amongst average music listeners. The national are great but are fairly obscure & unknown amongst the Pyramid / other type crowd.

Nah I wouldn't read too much into the poster mate. 2 big stages + first 6 names on poster doesn't = head + sub for the 3 nights.  The national are afternoon / early evening filler, 3rd from top at best. 

 

LOL

It's a cool idea, but why? Why keep an area of that size a secret and not just announce it/add it to the map?

Has to be. Way to busy for anywhere else. Park would be a stampede.

Both. Like Radiohead in 2011 when people were running through the campsites to get up there and then back for U2.
