That's really good. If I lived in Edinburgh I'd be all over this. Sunday looks particularly good. Interested in The National, Mogwai, Bombay Bicycle Club and Black Country New Road. And clashes depending I'd check out Simz and Self Esteem potentially.

For some reason I can't drum up much interest from my mates but even if I'm on my own that Sunday is worth a day ticket at least.

For me its pretty ho hum.  As someone who went to the original Connect up at Inveraray Castle I was looking forward to the line up, but - a few acts aside - I'm struggling to muster up much enthusiasm for it.

Hmmm, given how starved Edinburgh is for decent gigs I really don't think you can knock it. Yes there is nothing that is particularly novel but there are lots to like even if you've seen em all before. I hope they can shift tickets and make it a success.

Definitely.  

I may try to pick up a day ticket closer to the time.

Daft question but have Stereophonics been ruled out of the sub pool?

If they're willing to take a support slot at BST then can't seem the turning their noses up at one for Glastonbury...

NME interview the other day said they haven't had a call, so out of it for this year, though wouldn't be surprised to see them do that in the future. They were subbing V Fest (before Kings of Leon twice!) about 10 years ago so I was surprised to see the talk about them only accepting headline slots a couple of years back. 

I think they'd be a good Other headliner too - similar to Pet Shop Boys etc. 

I know they're not fashionable but I think they've got better and better as a live act over the years - I really like some of the later tracks, as in the past few years, not necessarily the ones that came after the first couple of albums. I'm seeing them in Manchester next month and really looking forward to it.

every time I see Big Thief I’m like ‘no way are they gonna be better than last time’ then they go and blow that thought out the water. 
 

Gonna be a must see on the Park. 

Very excited for Sunday in Bristol. They don't disappoint.

I don’t think it’s so much them being willing to sub and more Glastonbury not wanting them to sub. I realise they’re still weirdly popular, but that would be a crap booking.

Why "weirdly popular?

Just a band who’s popularity I would’ve expected to have somewhat waned by now, but they’re still playing (and selling out) arenas pretty regularly and getting number 1 albums, and if anything more popular than ever, whilst other bands of their ilk slip down the Kendall Calling lineup year on year.

Because they're shite.

And yeah, this too.

Maybe they’ll be even better next time if she doesn’t have a 10 minute random rabble moment about planes or some shite. Don’t even know what she was talking about my brain shut down it was that ridiculous.

    • I got in for £11.25 in the end, which was absolutely ridiculously good value, and made the queues and overselling of the venue much more tolerable! Sniping in on other people’s unwanted tickets on the day of an event might become my new hobby I think 🥳
    • Ann and Nancy Wilson are planning a final world tour for HEART starting next year. They were never at Glastonbury. They should do it. 
    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
