What are people’s thoughts on Jack White?

He is vastly overrated. I find his musical persona lacks sincerity, I don't enjoy his hiccupping singing style and his guitar playing is limited to one scale and leans on an overuse of effects.

If The Park follow recent years and their Sunday headliner is on earlier you could probably do a Park headliner and then go on to see most of a headliner. 

That would be ideal, Fontaines into PSB would be a strong finish to the weekend

Yep and Park to Other is very easily doable as well.

Is Kidjo nailed on for Pyramid? 

Think someone had info on it as we had all assumed West Holts before that

Have Alt-J been ruled out? A quick look at their dates seems to show a Glasto shaped hole.

Have probably dropped off enough to not be on the initial poster and slotted in somewhere on the other stage

They haven't dropped THAT far. Bit early to return considering they headlined the Other Stage the festival before last, too. They'd still command a pretty big slot and will be down the pecking order for one. Don't know if they've been ruled out though.

Fair enough! I’m a fan and was at the Other Stage headline show. Crazy to think that was only 2 festivals ago.

You’re probably right though , think I’ve overestimated their popularity drop

How strong is the Fontaines Park Sunday headline chat?!

[Stokesy10]

Is Lorde being discussed as an Other headliner now, as opposed to a few down on Pymild? I'll shit my own dick off if she clashes with Macca.

Friday:

Pyramid: Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, Wolf Alice, Olivia Rodrigo, Crowded House, Rufus Wainwright

Other: Foals, Supergrass, Blossoms, First Aid Kit, Sleaford Mods, St. Vincent

West Holts: Four Tet, Bonobo, TLC, Seun Kuti Egypt 80, Greentea Peng

John Peel: Primal Scream, Sigrid, Roisin Murphy, girl in red, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Inhaler

Park: Phoebe Bridgers, Arlo Parks, Confidence Man, Black MIDI, Warmduscher, Wet Leg

Lordy, you have me running around a bit on that Friday.

Wet Leg at the Park, then a swift walk to Other for Sleaford, a power walk to JP for girl in red, leg it to the Park again for Confidence Man, hot step it to West Holts for Bonobo, then the Park for Phoebe.

Good job it's day one. Not sure I could manage that on Sunday. Also a good job that said plan will fly out of the window the moment I'm on site.

The clashes are going to absolutely grind my soul into dust this year.

They seemed to run out of steam after album 2. The last two albums have been very underwhelming.

Pure speculation I think. Seems a good spot for them, and they were due to play the Park in ‘20 so guess that’s in their favour, but they could’ve easily been moved to another stage now that they’re a significantly bigger deal.

Yeah I think there’s gonna be some proper heartbreaking stuff this year. As the lineup and placings slowly come together it’s making me realise how much incredible stuff I’m gonna have to miss for some equally incredible stuff elsewhere.

I thought their last one was an improvement on RELAXER but definitely not on the levels of the first two albums

Reckon Self Esteem could do WG on the Thursday as a special guest, thoughts?

Could be either of Self esteem or yard act easily. But equally both may feel its beneath them. Cant be wet leg at least

Wet Leg are busy on the Thursday so won’t be them, but I very much doubt either of the other two think it’s beneath them - they’ve had bigger acts do it in the past and both of them seem like acts who’d be all over an extra Glastonbury set. 

[Memory Man]

They’d be high up in the betting. Theres 2 guests normally isnt there, someone smaller and someone larger. Im sure it will be known a few hours before

[the wonderwhy]

Self Esteem is on the poster isn’t she? Won’t be her in that case

Can do the Thursday and have another announced set over the weekend. Pale Waves did it last year and there’s been a few others

Is there a history of the williams green thursday slot anywhere?

I'm gonna go with Wet Leg and Sam Fender this time 

[Memory Man]

I once saw maximo park do it many moons ago, was great.

I kind of hope whatever it is im not bothered about as its too obvious these days and a ball ache

dont think i caught any of those since metronomy. Those from 2015 onwards dont strike me as a massive deal i must say, and relatively speaking quite bland.

Wet Leg have a show thursday.

Sam Fender would be unsafe surely - he's a festival headliner now, far bigger than any of the acts listed.
