Bump. This is the actual thread!

Personally not sure we’ll get anything until after September if this other event gets the go ahead. I’d love them to confirm something next weekend but I don’t expect it

Just wait till the special guest turns out to be Macca announcing he is back next year too...

But I agree, seems more likely that they'll hold off till after the September event

Chances are we’ll just get the usual cycle of an announcement or two before Christmas with the bulk coming March/April.

I think they would want to have something in there regardless of the September event.  Do what you have to with thats been confirmed. What if by some chance that Sept isnt approved? Then there will be no platform to have that type of announcement. You have one here and a global one at that. They might feel they owe everyone something at this point even though its only May.

I don't know what you are saying, but I respect that you have said it.

Glastonbury once announced a headliner via a poster in the window of the local Oxfam. I’m not sure they’re too concerned about global platforms.

We don’t really have a lineup thread only a headliner thread - but don’t mind me I’m just sat at my desk fantasising about a lineup which has

Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, Dua Lipa, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Olivia Rodrigo, HAIM, Diana Ross, Charli XCX.

Yes and no. As time is going on I’m starting to feel like the ship has sailed for him. It was a cool ‘get’ for the 50th anniversary but that never happened.

Now I think Glasto should be booking some more contemporary headliners as to me there is a huge waiting list of artists that deserve a shot.

Then again, if he’s playing and I’m at the festival I’m probably going to see him 🤷

They book heritage acts to headline every year, and will continue to do so.

No problem with that, you know I love them. You’ve misunderstood what I mean.

Macca was a great heritage act for the 50th anniversary, but post that I’m struggling to get excited for it.

You really think anyone on that list is ahead of Paul freaking McCartney in the pecking order?

If McCartney doesn't play it'll be because he's decided against it himself, and if that's the case they'll be looking to replace him with another 'heritage' or recognised headliner. There's no way there will be three first timers in the same year.

Okay. I hadn't realised your gripe was with McCartney in particular. But yeah... no.

He is the most revered living musician and a coup in any year. He has no history with the festival that would make him only suitable for the 50th - hence why he was courted for the 47th and 49th - so I don't follow at all.

Emily has even said about wanting to get him back, right?

It'll be Macca or Mac

    • As many said before, not my favourite Primavera. sh*tty weather is something I'm not really used to when enjoying music. Poor communication (more than 1 hour long radio silence during the worst rain) didn't help, but the main problem was me. I decided to leave the venue after things seemed to be getting back to normal. Massive Attack were supposed to play again (with Hymn of the Big Wheel back on the setlist!) as were all other artists on the smaller stages (including Fcukers with one my favourite albums of the year). FOMO was at an all-time high. However, after 4 hours in the rain, I had to admit to myself that I'm not cut out for this. I wasn't even that soaked (water-proof jacket worked). I was just fed up with the rain, wind and cold and wasn't able to enjoy music anymore.   Also, they should stop ignoring the growth of some artists between signing them up and their actual performance. Both PinkPantheress and Ninajirachi sets were ruined for me by completely inadequate stage choice.   However, I felt very much the same way after the 2022 edition and have thoroughly enjoyed all subsequent editions. So I'm still buying early bird tickets for 2027 and hoping this was a hiccup not the start of a downward trend.
    • I will definitely be buying a 2027 early bird pass, partially because of the priority reservation privileges for the Ciutat sets. Hopefully the organization will take action to improve upon this year's failings. Because I thought the free water options and sound quality were an improvement over last year, so clearly they can actually implement positive changes.   I also hope all the douchebag chompers get in the sea, cause I was more bothered by them than in the past few years.   Highlights: The Cure, Ninajirachi, Knocked Loose, Current 93, Blood Orange.    
    • Similar feelings to a few others on here. Not my personal favourite edition but a long way from giving up on it. Felt overcrowded at times and there are just too many people there that don't seem to like music that much! Hardly went to main stages which was the plan. Highlights Ralphie Choo, rusowsky, Gorillaz, Geese, Gelli Haha, The Sophs, PinkPantheress, Dijon. Accommodation booked for next year. Thanks for your company and comments over the past year.
