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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Dickfingers Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Hugh Jass Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sunday sub is billed as "Special Guest" up until the day of the festival, when it's revealed to be Lady fucking Gaga. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!
