Sam Fender

[Franco Baresi]

Any sign of a replacement? Or just gonna give everyone longer? ... bit late in the day innit 

[Jamesthedrake]

Looks like Fontaines have replaced him. 

[efcfanwirral]

Fontaines DC just tweeted - they've been added to that slot 

[danbailey80]

"Hopefully getting a chance next year". 

Sam is virtually guaranteed for 2020.

The question is where as I see him playing places as large as the O2 by next Summer. Second from top John Peel or half way up Pyramid / Other?

[Funkyfairy!]

Sam was on my top 3 'must sees; this year so was gutted when he pulled out - I;d live a JP set as sound is always brilliant, but I fear an erly pyramid set

I hope he gets put back on Left Field as that would have been great. I dislike the John Peel tent as it's too small for the acts and has no sound/screen provision outside, but Left Field would have been an intimate banger of a set.

Not gonna lie, you've lost me there.  John Peel would be too small, but the smaller LeftField would be good?

As a second set, yes. On the assumption that most of the radio 1 listening crowd would go to John Peel.

Yeah, that's what he was down for this year. Alas.

There was a really great energy in a small Brum venue back in 2018.

Similar to Fontaines DC this year (although they played Williams Green too). You could literally walk in easily to the Leftfield set.

[Mattymooz]

Album has just debuted at no. 1 on the charts, very impressive

[reflekting]

Guessing he will be 3rd or 4th from top on the other next year, or 5th/6th on the Pyramid. 

[danbailey80]

No way he'll get leftfield again. Far too big. 

He'll be there 2020 though. I imagine management discussed it around the time he had to pull out.

If anyone hears of a ticket for Brighton please let me know....you will make my year!

Could sub Other easy. EASY. If Bruce returns he could sub Pyramid. 

[Dronx]

I’ve got tickets for his Sheffield o2 gig. Can’t wait! 

[Ayrshire Chris]

Disappointed last year when he cancelled, hope he gets a decent spot on a main stage this year if he’s booked. One of our must sees. 

[danbailey80]

I'm going all in and say he will headline the pyramid within the next 7 years.

Call. 

[uscore]

 

I'm going the opposite way and predicting that whatever Glastonbury slot Fender gets next year, he'll never better it.

im going with in the next 8 ... unless year 8 is a fallow one ... then I will backtrack to 7

I wasn't expecting to like him  having wrongly lumped him in with Capaldi etc but the album is brilliant. Maybe it's  because I'm a big Springsteen fan but I like every song. The Borders especially. 

Shame I hadn't realised it when tickets for both his tours went on sale...

Ticket just popped up on Twickets for his Leeds gig...

Have no idea if that's anywhere near you btw
