I haven’t read their actual announcement, just saw a breakdown someone posted where they said what the exclusives were, and Megan wasn’t written as one. Did they defo claim her as exclusive?

On the website for the days she’s playing it says UK exclusive next to her name.

Why would that ever happen ever?

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.

You say ‘a week’ like it was an ordinary week. A lot changed in that week.

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.

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.

[CaledonianGonzo]

They weren't certain it was going to go ahead.

Yeah but they didn’t know it was off and just release the lineup for the sake of it.

[dentalplan]

Bit rude that they didn't release the 2021 lineup.

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.

Prove that please.

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.

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.

Coachella is in April and we're talking about what was happening mid-March.

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.

[Gnomicide]

I've changed my mind. Bring on the people's pop princess.

Surely Robert Plant has to play mid afternoon on the pyramid stage. It's an insult to have him on the acoustic

He played there last time so thought I'd mix him up a bit.

[Matt42]

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.

There'll be precious little movement between Noel and Macca so maybe they'll mirror that on the Other?

Banish anyone under the age of 25 to the wastelands of the Other stage for an evening.

Bridgers is meant to be playing a gig in Birmingham on the Sunday

Fuck sake lol, knew there'd be something missed. Thanks

Which is why I pray for her to be Friday. Perform Friday, break Saturday then the Birmingham gig Sunday. 

Also I reckon it would be Kendrick // Lorde // MTS // Diana Ross
