Did they defo claim her as exclusive? On the website for the days she’s playing it says UK exclusive next to her name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all the hype of the anniversary, they clearly wanted to let know people who they’d booked to play, even if it wasn’t going to happen - hence the Spotify playlists and other official leaks. I struggle to believe that they thought the festival was genuinely going to happen, only to change their mind a week later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they were privy to a lot more information before that week than most of the public were. I’d be amazed if they didn’t at least know there was a huge chance of having to cancel.

dentalplan Posted February 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 We were being told to wash our hands at that point. We got WFH orders the following Monday. We got a three-week lockdown nearly two weeks later. The festival was definitely 'going ahead' when it was announced. Batshit to think that the festival had some insider knowledge about the severity of COVID and then just released the lineup for a laugh. I also don't subscribe to the belief that some amazing American acts called up and removed themselves from the lineup just before the announcement either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you right up until the American point. Festivals started cancelling very soon after glasto announced (in fact days). I wouldn’t be surprised if acts asked to not be announced in the current circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: also as Martini Police said, things escalated very quickly in the days and weeks following. So if something cancelled 15-20 days later then that's another thing.

Coachella literally cancelled the day before the Glasto lineup dropped (March 11th). I know that’s in America but with SxSW going too, American acts would have started seeing their shows drop like flies / cancelling on what they had planned for the summer. It’s simply wrong to think that at this point some acts wouldn’t be looking at their schedules and noping out of their dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 I was sat in the pub opposite a bloke who does all the tech for Pet Shop Boys when they dropped that poster. It was definitely on at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieGed Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 Caught Dave in Manchester the other night. Hope to see him on the lineup as he may be in with a shout for a pyramid sub, but in all honesty I think next time he plays could be headlining. Really good show.

Matt42 Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Think they might break up Doja and Megan a bit to ensure a bit of movement. Both acts have the whole weekend free so they can slot into any day really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banish anyone under the age of 25 to the wastelands of the Other stage for an evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
