Right so had somebody off here got a job off NME, or is NME paying an existing staff member to read efests?

I mean, a lot of employers are paying people to sit and read efests, they just don't realise it.

it's probably the case that they're not being paid to read efests, because NME use unpaid interns, the scum.

Mike99 has been unmasked after all this time. NME have been trolling us for years.

Are the posters scheduled to go up elsewhere or just very select places? Nothing in the Manchester shop.. yet

[dentalplan]

So looking down Twitter for the shitstorm that Stormzy's announcement has brought and I found this. Can you believe we all wasted time asking family about Stormzy when there were official polls?

What an awful booking - not close to being established enough to be a Glastonbury headliner. Rubbish live too.

I remember thinking that about Arctic Monkeys the first time they headlined. Sure enough by June they had enough hits to do it. 

Not sure about Stormzy, all his songs seem to tail off a bit...

In fairness I'd watch Angel Di Maria eat a TUC biscuit on stage.

Very much on the fence - I think he is a worthy headliner but off that one album really? I mean its great, critically acclaimed and shocked everyone by beating Ed Sheeran brit award nominations  but still. I just don't think it's the right time to be headlining . I guess get him while he is hot..

i would say go on youtube and see how good he looks live, the answer is a resounding not very.

frees up my night anyway

Last year I remember feeling depressed every week as horrifically unambitious, vanilla, safe and dull festival line-ups were announced. It was shocking. I have no interest in grime and will be nowhere near the Pyramid, but I think it’s a fantastic booking. If you’re not innovating, controversial and risk taking, you’re V.

Agreed. Not my cup of tea at all which just means I will be somewhere else. Enough going on at Glasto that the headliners are irrelevant to some extent.

The night Kanye headlined you could have instead watched Dedmau5, Suede, The Moody Blues, Parliament Funkadelic with George Clinton, Jon Hopkins, Public Service Broadcasting, gone to the naughty corner, wandered into any of the smaller stages and areas in the Green Fields, or just sat and got hammered in any of the many, many bars.

If you can't find some way to have a good time with all that available you shouldn't really be going to festivals.

[scaryclaireyfairy]

Excellent booking IMO. I'd like to at least catch a bit of his set but who can say this far out.

Agreed. I have a ticket but I've had to stop looking....who are these people???? I can only assume they have never been to Glastonbury

Anyway, it's good job...reading this thread at the same time as keeping up with who is or isn't resigning or no-confidence vote letter-writing is taking u enough time as it is

Preach.

EDIT - also, I may well be there. I'm not a definite either way; as always it depends on what else is on and what mood I'm in.

You're right, this is just one act. Barely 2 hours. 

There's still Other Stage, West Holts, John Peel, Arcadia, The Park, Silver Hayes... Which will all have acts during the same 2 hours.  Pretty sure everybody will manage to find something enjoyable to watch/listen to.

By the time the full line-up comes, anybody still complaining has either never been to Glasto before or is as thick as they come.

Also, Twitter brings out the worst in people. 

[incident]

So, something I've just twigged and posted on a whatsapp group.

Coldplay @ Glastonbury
1999 - New Bands Stage
2000 - Other Stage
2001 - (Fallow year)
2002 - Friday Night Pyramid Headline (2 months before their second album came out)

Stormzy @ Glastonbury
2016 - Sonic
2017 - Other Stage
2018 - (Fallow year)
2019 - Friday Night Pyramid Headline

So put him down for 2022 as well..

ITV2 putting out a show in which Macca and Hugh Grant took turns shaving Neil Morrissey would be a winner.

What a brave booking, I love it. 

Exactly the kind of fresh new headliner the festival circuit could do with. 

Certainly beats Coldplay and The Killers anyway.
