Sticking my head above the parapet here ....

Only joined here last September, and it is genuinely one of the nicest places on the internet, and by quite some margin.

I can remember when I had just joined observing a few posters giving serious grief to @Matt42 and thinking to myself "wow that's all a bit uncalled for".  Then I thought to myself there must be more to it that I am not aware off,  and I am new here, so just kept out of it at the time.  Since then I have seen the same type of thing flare up on numerous other occasions, mainly always directed at @Matt42, and also nearly always started by the same few people, and also with the same few people then jumping on-board.  Like this latest nonsense this morning, it is usually completely uncalled for and not at all in the spirit of this forum, or Glastonbury for that matter.  I can tell the difference between bullying and banter, and I know what this is.

@Matt42 contributes a awful lot to this forum in my opinion and I for one enjoy his posts and opinions, regardless of whether I agree or not.

I would really hope I am not the only one who sees this behaviour for what it is, and would also hope that we could keep that sort of stuff away from here.

Well said to be honest, I have only been to the festival once and I only post once in a while when I really feel passionate about something but this really hit the nail on the head.

No joke but yesterday I was literally thinking of putting a post very similar on here myself to the same sentiment.

@Matt42 I don't necessarily agree with all you say but I do think sometimes you are singled out. Equally i do think you can handle it but for your benefit there are those of us who see both sides.

@circus92 good post that man.

I can sometimes get myself confused by things that are a given on here.

Billy is headlining every festival she’s playing and is arguably the hottest pop star around but she could potentially sub the Sunday?

If that is a potential doesn’t that open the door to quite a lot of acts people would assume are headliners?

I can see the logic of Elbow being predicted for a third down slot also when you consider Aerosmith have taken one. 

Noel subbing Macca makes sense, could even see a situation it’s been requested or offered.

I believe somebody came on here a while back with info that she was booked to play this year, although for the most part I think it’s just wishful thinking on a lot of people’s parts. She already played last year so there’s little point in having her back, and like you say, is headlining literally everything else she’s playing so no real benefit in her taking a low paying sub slot at Glastonbury.

Royal Blood? wouldn't be too strange of an act to go on before Taylor seeing as Biffy managed before Sheeran in 2017, or are we pretty confident in saying RB are headlining Other

Yeah should have definitely given Royal Blood a mention and the Biff themselves for that matter.

It seems that some of the likely candidates are being removed from the field of play - Dua Lipa and Pet Sop Boys are apparently elsewhere, Lewis Capaldi isn't playing at all apparently. Billie Eilish, Nick Cave, The National, Foals all look unlikely for a variety of reasons...

Are there any left field choices that could pop up?

The Sunday sub is now the most intriguing slot on the bill.

I forgot what thread I was in for a moment then and was trying to work out the absence of dua and psbs and where they were instead of Glastonbury :)

The Sunday sub is billed as "Special Guest" up until the day of the festival, when it's revealed to be Lady fucking Gaga.

Or Madonna.

I don't want to be mean about Madonna, but there's absolutely no contest that I'd rather see Gaga. I'm more fussed about seeing acts in their prime, at the top of their game. 

Although if it meant we got the Madonna thing over and done with this year as a sub, and Gaga owns a 2 hour headline slot next year, I'd accept that!

Id say she ia comfortably smaller than Miley Cyrus nowadays and would be very suprised if she subbed.

aye struggle to gauge the size of... most acts, tbf - playing the O2 and it's selling alright given the hefty prices, which seems about right for sub, but idk.

Capaldi recently sold out two nights in a matter of minutes but some were saying he isn't big enough to sub.

eFests rules are a confusing beast.

Yeah, got no idea. In my brain I was comparing to The National and Tame Impala.

They're more....guidelines

Flexible guidelines, depending on how much the poster likes the artist.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
