Cider Bus?

 

Sounds like a plan.  Pleasantly full from food and cider on a warm evening, wobble back to the Pyramid for Ms Lauryn Hill fully fortified for the inevitable shuffling through crowds that will follow.

Vaccines being on at 11am annoys me. There’s nothing in I want to see afterwards for a few hours.

The Miley Cyrus -> Billie Eilish near overlap is a wholesale bummer.

I got a 4-way Sunday headliner clash, and that’s without even considering Old Bobby Smith’s 120 minute misery show.

I know, I am so pissed off about it and husband is gutted about the Streets and gone off in a huff.

The Courteeners on Other before Chemical Bros. Wanted to get a good position for Chems, but can’t stomach watching what’s on before.

It’s still 50/50 with Hot Chip at the mo!

I’m being swayed towards hot chip with the tempest-hot chip run

The Liam v Sharon Van Etten one is tough for me.

Nothing likely to coincide with The Vaccines though.

Imma be nowhere near it, but i predict universal apathy for 95% of the set, followed by a modicum of interest when they play that ‘lay your hands’ hit. 

Imagine that though, imagine being the person who finishes their festival with that. Not with Janelle, Not with Chris, Not with Rex Orange County, Not even with The Streets, but with bloody Reef. I’d be taking down fucking names, I tell you. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

The Sunday multi-act pile-up is particularly galling given the scarcity of options on the other evenings.

Yes worst bit is I'm not that fussed about any of the Friday headliners. Could happily move a couple about.

I feel exactly like that. I’m walking round the flat with a proper monk on, getting more and more annoyed about it. I keep checking the clashfinder in case it’s changed

Is the consensus that Chris smashed it at APE?

Seems like it. Though some neutrals thought it was a bit too w*nky and apparently it was a smaller crowd. Same might actually happen at Glastonbury, given the alternative options.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Just read the Guardian comparing it to Beychella ?

It is very bizarre... a classic Glastonbury weird booking move. Either Billie is going to start to a thin field or Miley will finish to a thining field. These two must have one of the biggest crowd crossovers of all acts...so to put them back to back on stages that are a 20 minute battle through crowds is bizarre. 

Can't for the life of me think why they have chosen to do that.

For me, it's Miley that loses out. Will slip away in time to get a good spot for Billie so Miley better front load the bangers.

Watching both of them on iPlayer at the Radio 1 thingie.

Both look like must-sees.

Just when you think to yourself that the festival clearly don't sort the times out to avoid clashes, you see Courteeners sending 15 minutes of their set back because of who's on the Pyramid.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Sunday is my day with a lot less to see throughout.

After Miley, there is nothing to interest me til Janelle. She doesnt clash with anything else I want to see either.

Then, Ill watch Eat Static in the Glade after Janelle has finished.

Aye... what do you want to miss?

 

Miley's finish is strong.... and Bill's start are some of my favourites.

Billie Pirate might well be back in the future at least once, whereas Miley almost certainly won't. Bad Guy is a bop and a half but surely not worth missing Wrecking Ball for.

Split after Party In The USA and peg it IMHO.....but it's a bum deal regardless.
