Yeah, it's like "well shit, what can we do, we're going to have a good run at it and hope".

 

Good on 'em.  Imagine it now, it's the height of summer, we've got through all this shit and we're all meeting up in the fields of avalon, flimsy cup of cider in hand and thankful that we made it as we catch up with old friends.  That's the thought to cling to.

massively underwhelmed by the lineup so far, but, its Glastonbury and it'll be amazing, just glad we've got some good news and hopefully a festival to go to in June

 

edit: on closer inspection, there are some decent artist lower down the poster

Maybe waiting on them selling out their arena gigs?

On first glance there's a lot of acts that I want to see but not loads that are must sees. It's a great start though!

Seems strange their big names and would look so good on the poster, still loads I wanna see and others I will see at other festivals I’m working at

Another year with a good breadth of talent.  Lots for everyone there I reckon.  I'm certainly very happy with what I've seen, not least with the knowledge that there's always more to come.  Now it's time to start sweating on clashes.  There are a few names on the bill I've missed the chance to see in the past that I hope to get to see at last.  Suzanne Vega at a glastonbury venue has been a long held dream that has eluded me thus far.

Yeah, aside from the top line, this hasn't been presented in any order of billing. I like that.

edit: just realised it's alphabetical. duh.

    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
    • Wow just got myself some Megadeth tickets and not sure I can afford another set of tickets for another gig so soon but we'll see. Fingers crossed
    • Can't speak for Dua Lipa's, but Coldplay's was vastly scaled down compared to their stadium production staging though, and tracks were adapted to reflect that. MOTS tour had a full walkway 30m out to the B-Stage in the middle of the crowd, and two C-Stages. Glastonbury didn't accommodate that at all and just had a very small walkway in front of the Pyramid stage, and (IIRC) a disconnected B-Stage.   Which re-enforces my point. Acts can adapt their stage shows if they really want. Most do, some don't want to. Glastonbury might miss out on the odd act that doesn't want to slightly adapt, but so will most festivals.
