Snow patrol are doing a lunchtime, reworked set at latitude, so more than possible a daytime / opening other spot at Glasto ? 

Maybe so. I know they could just get added onto  the poster or schedule as have other acts in the past. It would be a cool to have them be an opener and do the reworked set. Its for the GF, not me. Cause it seemed that they were well on their way to being on there. Time will tell. 
 

 

question, the balance window is still in April Im assuming and thats not going to change? Or do we think theyll change it if need be according to whats going on.

Taylor is my No 1 must see, and no interest in Fatboy.

I can understand why he has got it, but Other Headliner - really?

I do like Fatboy. He's often my go to when I don't want to watch a headliner! But given that he always plays, it does suck a little bit that he's taken away a potentially good "Other headliner sized act" away.

However, it's the 50th and it's Fatboy and he bloody loves it, so fair play 🙂

Someone mentioned in another thread that it would make sense if he ends up bringing on secret special Guests....

I don't have a ticket as yet, but I'm still going to be gutted if I'm not there. I concur with those who thought it might be bigger and wilder, for me it's just solid, but it's only the first drop.

 

ive been wanting Kacey and Robyn for years though, so I need to get there!!

That’s the bit I don’t like - he is filling one of the 6 “big” slots.  Is it not a bit of a lazy booking?

Dont get me wrong,  I don’t mind him, and he kinda deserves it but it just feels a bit underwhelming and not even close to “Pyramid Sized”

Yeh...I am a little inclined to agree

Three bands that I know are playing that are not on that list. The Murder Capital, Working Mens Club and Biffy Clyro....

Hold on folks, a lot more to come.

This a hunch or actual info? Can’t see where Biffy would fit now, unless they’re our missing Sunday sub, or a secret act.

The line ups are never really to my tastes but so glad I have a ticket.. it's my few days to drift along without a care and re-charge.

 

I would be gutted if Aerosmith didn't get there but  never mind I'm sure I won't be dis appointed. 

My daughters group weren't lucky this year but they haven't had to miss one yet in years ..I missed last years so I know what it feels like .

 

It will be my last though this time, at my age I have to cram in as much as possible as I have so little time in a year to take a break having many rescue animals and have other things I want to do

Spent this morning blasting Dizzee Rascal through my headphones, saw him at beachbreaklive in 2011 maybe? It had rained for 2 days and the sun came out when he started  Holiday and everyone went insane! Never seen such a change in a crowd. One of my favourite festival moments of all time!

My musical knowledge is nowhere near the level of most of you on here but I can't help but feel a little underwhelmed at everything below the 3 Pyramid Headliners.

Possibly due to the fact I have no tickets, possibly due to the worries about coronavirus - who knows!

Not really sure what I was expecting and of course we could have some big announcements between now and the festival :) 

Time to get stuck in to the playlist and see what I have been missing out on!

Yup. It stinks of "Someone's pulled out" to me.

Anyone else thinking that the "work" we do on here, piecing together the potential line up, rumours etc, detracts from the poster drop? 

There were very few surprises for me yesterday. 

Amazing line up, don't get me wrong, but I scanned through and just kinda thought "yep we knew all that".

I see no value in surprises. I like them well enough if they're there, but I'm the type of person  who would carefully peel back the tape and pre-open my Christmas gifts. Im happy enough for a confirmation. One year my mother found out and took a few presents back. I learned 0 lessons.

I think where it fails, is certain situations like Aerosmith where people are expecting them and then they're not on there and its disappointing.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
