It's normally transcribed, and last year due to the increase in people using Twitter directly on smartphones, it was also retweeted.

I think we always cover it.

Yes, it's always been sent on by the sterling SecretGlasto. Many thanks to whoever is doing that this year, I salute you!

Think I'll still wander up there each morning to have a squint at the blackboard too blah blah ... @Keithy had the very same thought above while I slow typed something.

Tsk. Getting the lineup off Twitter. You lot don't deserve the Crows Nest. You need to trek up the hill each morning and have a look at the blackboard outside to fully deserve getting into the Crows Nest. It's a labour of love not convenience.

^ This - though as a Hitchin' Hill camper it might come down to some technology by the Sunday.

Girl Ray would be amazing. Just in case any Crows nest crew are reading this..

Played there in 2017. Unfortunately were up against Elbow's secret set on Park, so was just the band, me and about 8 other people.

Aww I missed them there in 2017. Dutch Uncles did it that year too. 

I loved the Crows Nest in 2016 then just completely forgot to return the next year. There are way too many distractions at Glastonbury.

I was one of the other 8 watching Girl Ray... it was a great set!  Also in 2017 saw Amber Arcades and Flamingods (who played an amazing, feverish set).

I missed off Flamingods from my list of those who could play this year. As they are playing either Greenpeace or HMS Sweet Charity maybe?

HMS Sweet Charity. Pretty sure they didn’t show up last time they were booked for it though.

Really hoping for Frank Turner. He's mentioned to individuals that he'll be playing 'a couple of times across the weekend' and he's only got the Avalon slot right now. 

I'm guessing he'll do another set up at Strummerville like he did last time he played.

I think Pip Blom are highly likely for crows nest. This nme article and their own blog mention that they’re playing 3 times across the festival, and they’re only currently listed on the line-up twice, on JP and Williams Green. Unless of course they’re a TBA anywhere else.

That’d be nice. Love their album but looking like I’ll be missing both their currently announced sets due to clashes.. although I’ll probably just end up missing this third set as well if it transpires.

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.   
    • Interview on 6 music earlier, was going to get the album to have a listen, but comes out the day they play the festival 
    • Additional dates added already    
    • I feel like it's not COMPLETELY beyond the realm of possibility that they could headline but I just don't see it.    They're not doing anything other than headlining. So nah, I don't see it.
    • Consider that the sound quality can be better near the front bars right behind the soundbooth rather than closer to the stage, like with mbv. And of course, the front sections are full of talkers too.   The most courteous move would be to have conversations in the very back of the field.
