I'm the same to be honest! Casually listening to the radio when a song or artist comes on that I've seen at Glasto before.

Bound to lead to a lot of drop outs from those who aren’t familiar with them... I agree that having a headliner such as The Cure confirmed first and before balance week is the best we can hope for. It will be an absolute nightmare if they confirm a few huge acts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the while at least one headliner isn't announced, people like that are likely to be hoping 'their' band is one of those not yet announced.

Can we make up some truly awful headline rumours and talk about them in detail in threads before listing them as SR, so they are inevitably picked up by Somerset Live and the like? And then another thread talking about how Glastonbury is ALL about the headliners. That might work! Not sure what the three least inspiring headliners would be though.... I guess also the likes of Boomtown dropping an ace lineup might also help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked Emily about it. She was horrified that people might think she'd bullshitted, and said Stevie Wonder wasn't in the frame at the time* she'd said he wasn't playing. (* very early in January). In my experience Emily has always been honest and open with me, so i accept her word that that's how it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsonjack Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Why anyone would want to spend 5 days traipsing around in mud spending extortionate amounts to eat food with your fingers in the rain is beyond me when you can get 5 days in the sunny Algarve for the same cost. And no-one will p*ss on your tent there either. Tell all bucket-listers you know.....daily.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think whoever drops someone favourite will always be the next one. Even The 1975...huge following now so that wouldn't help...The Cure are showing atm they've got a popular crowd around them.
