Surely Courteeners wouldn't sub on Saturday, clashing with Liam Gallagher?

I’ve got a hunch that The Prodigy were supposed to be lined up for the Sunday and not the Saturday like has been mentioned as Courteeners make far more sense as an Other Stage alternative to Janet Jackson than they do Liam G, which would put Chemical Bros on the Saturday.

Or there’s always a chance the Courteeners info was wrong in which case my theory goes out the window.

Have Young Fathers been discounted for any reason? Can't say I've seen them mentioned. Need to see them in a late slot. They did other in the afternoon. They need darkness for that energy. 

The only date they have announced is Boston Calling on 24th May, so no reason why they can't do it.

Please, please and pretty please.

Same, got everything crossed they are there and in a decent slot. They must be one of the most exciting bands around at the moment and absolutely incredible live.

So I know a lot of people have mentioned that there is a lot more names to be announced but how many more 'big names' should we expect? I assumed the first poster would include most of the mainstream/bigger acts playing and that further announcements will be smaller acts which most people won't know.

That’s a good indication.  There was also 20 less names on the poster this time so you’ll have a fair few more than that on the main stages

What are the chances of Crystal Fighters being there definitely a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine 

Pretty good, they went on a spate of following Glasto related social media accounts, liking and even retweeting stories about them potentially playing recently. Sort of band you'd think would make the poster, but they do still have shows in April/May to sell so they may have been happy to have been left off.

Thanks for that I agree that they're the sort of band who would have been on the poster which is why I was starting to have doubts if they'd be there

A few mentions for Frank Turner in this thread. In am still very hopeful he’ll be there. Avalon/Leftfield/Acoustic acts often do not get onto the poster.

I had been hoping for Richard Ashcroft....

Don’t know if the Duran Duran rumour is based on anything, but they would make for a great Other Stage opener.

Mrs SW met FT last night and he confirmed he was playing "a couple of times" at Glastonbury,

Based on tour dates: Weezer, The B52s, Glassjaw, Teenage Fanclub, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Meat Puppets, Iggy, Blood Red Shoes, Guided by Voices and Raconteurs would be sound.

@eFestivals Niel have you heard anything about Childish Gambino dropping out of Glastonbury? Someone on the Pukkelpop thread reckons he dropped out of Glastonbury and a number of other European festivals. 

me, I'll be mildly surprised if he was ever in to have dropped out. 

It's much more likely that there were talks that never went as far as a tentative agreement.

Id take that. Iggy, Meat Puppets and BRMC would do me tbh but the rest would be extra bonus'. 

Dont need a lot, just 4-5 good rock acts and thatll do the festival for me.

hmm fair enough. People reckon he cancelled late in the day on Mad Cool and NOS, and probably others, which is why they've delayed their announcements. Sounds to me like people trying desperately to find reasons why they're taking so long to announce their full lineups tbh. Cheers Neil!

Young Fathers are missing, I was really hoping they would be there as I missed their tour. Keeping fingers crossed they are booked. 

 

Edit: just noticed they have been mentioned, hope for some info soon

it's not impossible that Gambino is part of the cause, if they were holding out for him but it didn't come thru. 

I doubt it was a signed & sealed thing.

I did wonder if they'd go back to him as a replacement for the Prodigy, but that doesn't look likely if he's not doing any festivals in Europe,

    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL. 
    • We've reasonably predicted/wanted a bill of Blink, Avril, Good Charlotte for a while 😅    I'm surprised that Good Charlotte's UK shows in November seem to be doing well atm... obviously if they sell out those venues then they should be subheadliners right? (if they play download that is). They'd only look a strong sub if it was before Blink though I rekn.
