Ken in the rock werchter thread said that the Weeknd was booked to sub.

taylors mystery sub revealed? 

Booked to sub RW or Glastonbury? Would be massive if Glastonbury had managed to bag him as a sub, and I’d be happy enough to watch him pre-Swift.

Ah. Don’t think that means anything tbh - they have the cash to splash about and often have a pretty huge top few lines of lineup, and considering he bailed without explanation last time he was due to play I doubt he holds Glastonbury in particularly high regard/as a box ticker either.

I’ve just noticed it’s wrong anyway - he was being vague about the year. Think he meant 2021

I'd happily have the Weeknd to sub any night next year. Their last album is huge.

Wasn’t sure where to post this one.

I haven't looked, but I suspect all the tracks Glasto has posted are ones already on the BBC Introducing YouTube.

I see the Glade is up to something on Facebook.

Yes you'd assume they will put out a playlist. Much harder when you have DJs though.

This one is going to sting... Fucking love the Glade areas. Hopefully see most of them next year though.

Could be some sort of streamed event rather than a playlist?

Not sure where this is best placed

It would have been the full line up released next week as well.

So maybe the elusive pyramid playlist ?

They’re announcing the details of the programming over Glastonbury weekend, which is gonna be old sets.

Yep I saw ... maybe they just won’t release pyramid at all ? But seems odd it’s not come ...

Would it? I suppose there is a very reliable pattern to these things.

The week after the second bank holiday has become quite common over the last few years.

Has anyone suggested that the BBC may broadcast some live solo sets from the site this year? They must be under some sort of rolling contract with the BBC so both would be up for it. 

Much like how they do each year from up the park hill. However they could in theory do stuff on a bare pyramid stage.

My guess is a mixture of classic sets from the archive mixed with some live lockdown music and interviews. 

With donations to festival charities.

I certainly think sets from the acts due to appear this year could be part of it. Would be lovely to get some early confirmations from the artists for next year too.

I dunno about sets from the site itself since it might encourage people to travel there, and you'd still need a fairly large crew to be there just for that.

I can certainly see, and expect, acts (thinking Macca and Taylor especially from the top acts) will do live stuff from their home.

Yes I think you're right, keeping people away would be a nightmare.

Maybe some live interviews etc but music will be from peoples houses.

I think it'd be quite cool if they raided the archives and built up the same level of coverage, across all the stages for the weekend in the same time slots as normal, compiled of sets throughout the history of the festival. Maybe have a vote on the best headline sets/legend slot and have those air at the same time slot as they would normally, and headline slots from each stage so you can actually flick through iPlayer and watch, say, Chems on the Other or something. They could even release a full timetable of the main stages and it end up being the ultimate Glastonbury experience. 

You could intersperse it with sets from the 2020 acts in their homes in place of the Park acoustic sets and live interviews as you say. I've not been too bothered at all about these attempts to do lockdown style TV, but they could do something really special with this.

Fwiw, I'd go with Radiohead 97, Bowie 2000 and Stevie Wonder 2010 as the headline sets.

The reaction on here when Arctic Monkeys 2013 set was voted as one of the best headline sets would be entertaining.

Did anything come of those suggestive tweets from the glade?
