Manics...

Park headline is perfect for them.  Mid afternoon Other would be an absolute waste of a band like the Manics, just end up being fodder.

Going to be all over this, that's my first headliner confirmed. Also going to be my first Park headliner!

I concur. Saw them at IOW a couple of years ago and while they were great, you could tell much of the audience was just waiting for Design for Life and then the Killers. I'd much rather see them with a smaller crowd of die-hards than lots of casuals.

Personally would have liked them in the JP, as I think the tent would have captured the atmosphere of their early career club shows I missed, but I'll take the Park, it is my favourite stage at the festival.

That's equally an amazing slot and a crying shame. You forget there's other good stuff when you're frothing at the mouth between July and January for the best possible headliners. I have 2 of my perfect pyramid headliners, but at what cost?

Especially with Dua Lipa headlining the other, manics on Friday would make most sense to me

Dua Lipa's down as Sat for the Other, Fatboy's got Friday.

Clash with Editors in the JPT is a bit of a shame, but I'll cope :)

Another  big vote for Manics on the Friday night.

That would be my headliners sorted-

Manics // Dua Lipa // Taylor Swift

Park // Other // Pyramid 

Lovely stuff - I would get to have a headliner on a different stage each night on my first Glastonbury.  What could be better? 👌😁

One of the reasons they are so great. In terms of social conscience, they certainly talk the talk, and things like this prove they walk the walk too.

I've said it before: they are to be cherished.

Brilliant gesture from the Manics. I know a lot of people from the NHS who will are thrilled with this gesture :)

me and my girlfriend both nurses and will be trying for tickets tomorrow !

How do you apply for tix? Do you need NHS details to be able to order?  Just thinking more than happy to chip in a la T-Day if you want :)

As far as I'm aware it's a show your NHS ID on the door situation. You can also take one guest :) . Hopefully people manage to hang on to their IDs, or there will be a lot of trouble with the managers!

Tickets are on sale now, at £35 each for the Saturday. I got a couple.  I think they could have charged more, as proceeds go to NHS charities, but I can make a separate donation. The Manics on home turf, doing a charity show with hopefully a "I'm glad that shit is behind us!" vibe - this is going to celebratory.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
