Resale then. When they realise it's a normal glastonbury year not wall to wall headline acts it'll slow down. I'm expecting a ticket in April myself 

Totally agree about the hype. They way people are talking about the 50th year would have you think that every artist who can headline on a ‘normal’ year will play.  Coldplay at 18:00 on West Holts, Green Day opening up the Sunday at the Park. Madonna, if she is lucky, gets a spot at John Peel.

That said, ticket day will be manic as it has been for the last 5/6 years. I also think re-sale will be the same number as enough people will go just to satisfy their curiosity.  Good for them, I’m sure they will love it as much as the rest of us.

I always thought she cancelled it because she decided to headline Latitude instead?

Latitude pretty much always has one or two headliners on the Glastonbury bill

Yeah I guess you’re right. Dunno why I thought that one then.

[Matt42]

Do you reckon she was meant to sub the cure then? Or was George Ezra a late draft in?

who knows

[Hugh Jass]

Didn’t Latitude just bung LDR a few extra quid for exclusivity? 

[Mouseboy11]

Anyone seen her live recently? Was she any good?

I watched her on the Pyramid in 2014, can't say I remember much about it to be honest.

Apparently Latitude was quite polarising.

She’s a polarising live act but I reckon she’s great.

She really doesn’t appeal to a festival “play mr bright side” crowd though.

I don't think we know for sure but I think she was meant to sub The Cure and Miley Cyrus was the late addition, as she seemed to be announced for a couple of other festivals later on too.

When did this become the reason? I always assumed it got canned because it was part of those extended tour dates she cancelled?

The Sun mentioned it.

I imagine anyone that isn't The Killers would struggle to appeal to that crowd.

Haha

My point is that some audiences at festivals cannot deal with acts that don’t have flare anthems. Lana’s soft style just does not compute to some people.

Also, she doesn’t really try to win over casual fans either. She plays to her fans wherever she goes.

I agree with all of the above. Lana doesn't need to pander to casuals either, she is a master of what she does.

Might have to find Chris Martin, hog tie him and lock him in a compost loo shortly before Taylor's set. I just cannot risk him popping up.

[RossTC]

Did nobody ask ME or EE on friday?!

[uscore]

If Lana is booked I hope she plays that song where she is treated badly by a man.

Would be the only good thing that would happen in her set...

I was just thinking yesterday about the most horrific uses of Chris Martin for next year. The worst I could think was he comes out with Macca and imitates John Lennon, rattling through Come Together and A Day in the Life...?

That would not be a good thing to happen in this set.
