Headlining or not, Glastonbury deserves to have What Makes You Beautiful blaring out over the Pyramid field, as I think we can all agree without a shadow of a doubt that it’s the greatest song ever.

Shameful missed opportunity here. It’s the best song ever:

There was just as many complaining about the poster design than there were complaining about the lineup in 2020. People will always moan, and most of the time it's the people who don't have tickets.

This is exactly it. Most of the people moaning about the lineup are the same ones moaning about the punters in Daily Mail comments sections

For real though, people should go listen to Harry Styles - She, genuinely a good track. Great production, great guitar solo. 

I'm surprised Coachella didn't manage to get Olivia Rodrigo though. With her tour it would be nuts if Glastonbury got her and not Coachella.

Either way it will be carnage. His Larry Hoover show was huge setlist wise.

I think we have to worry more about begging Kim to come back to him over the Christian stuff right now tbh.

Man’s got Julia Fox now he ain’t ever going back

It looks like they're letting her have some lower-key live touring experience before hitting festivals, probably with album two, which seems extremely sensible rather than trying to cash in immediately.

Doesnt bother me too too much. Yes, I am wildy upset no Rage, but I cant control Zach's decision making. They have 3 other festivals with all the guitars you can handle anyway.


Lets get into the spicy stuff. They updated their pricing. Tier 4 ga and vip is what theyll be selling Friday along with Tier 2 GA w/ shuttle. And Weekend 1 is sold out. Glasto still a bargain for years to come. That list doesnt even include Safari Tents or Platinum Estates.

Wow. A convenience fee for the same price as I paid for a Primavera weekend ticket. Madness.

So if I'm reading this right, a GA ticket + shuttle bus is £500 and that doesn't include an onsite locker or camping.

Holy crap, I knew it was expensive but damn.

I'd love to go one year but it's hard to justify the price of a holiday on top of the price of a holiday. It's obscene, but there's obviously a demand. No doubt, it'll sell out.

@Suprefan having never been, I don't want to pre-judge, but do the high ticket (and other item) costs shape the demographic? Obviously we see what we see on Instagram and pop culture commentary, but is it predominantly full of rich kids, or is that an unfair assessment?

Yes that’s who we think

What if I was to say Calvin Harris is going to be onsite, you'd place him as an Other Stage headliner, right? Even if what you'd heard placed him elsewhere...

With that in mind demographic wise you'd probably expect someone more appealing to the *cough* older generation on the Pyramid? Lending weight to Macca being one of the remaining Pyramid Stage headliners?

I'm aware festivals in America are a bit more costly to go anyway, so I assume people look at it as 'the big one' and go for it. Which is why it always used to surprise me when I told my friends that I was going to Glastonbury and they were still going to Reading and they just assumed it'd be 2x the price.

You could easily swap Dua/Queens of the stone age (who I dont personally think will be back) So you have Macca going up against Dua and Queens going up against Kendrick(if we're going that Kendrick is still there and is moved to sunday) I think that shifts the crowds really well.

QOTSA are already up against Billie, which is pretty good split.

My mistake I was going off what Matt had put in the quoted tweet who had them 3rd. Yeah thats a great split and in all honesty, depending on what the reviews of Billies shows are like over the next few months will be a difficult one.

I thought Pet Shop Boys were penciled in for the Friday slot against Billie?

I really need to concentrate more in class 😂

Yes I would… hmm. What does this mean for Dua and Pet Shop boys though?

[Matt42]

Our current consensus for Other Stage is

Fri: QOTSA

Sat: Dua (because she was last time and it fits with her dates)

Sun: Pet Shop Boys (because that’s where they were last time).

Nah, when Neil first broke Billie he specifically said she was headlining Friday and that QOTSA were against her on the Other.

Pretty sure I remember hearing that Calvin Harris was due to headline Arcadia at the 2020 festival under his 'Love Regenerator' alter ego

Couldn’t imagine going to coachella size+cost festival and it being headlined by Harry Styles and 2022 Kanye. Jeezo hope that isn’t an indication for Glastonbury.

And you can't even have a beer unless it's in the designated drinking zone.
