FloorFiller Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Also the more I think about it, Sam Fender, one of the hottest acts on the U.K. festival scene right now on Other, going up against Elbow who are… well, Elbow, on the Pyramid, just doesn’t seem right to me. Considering the plan was seemingly to stick him against Aerosmith originally to balance his crowd out, either they’ve moved him to the Pyramid in their now vacant slot, or stuck somebody else who is a much bigger draw than Elbow against him. I think the former makes the most sense, and then just stick any old Other fodder in his place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Elbow, Fender, and a TBA in the JP will divide crowds nicely. Plus it looks like on the map there is more space in the other field this year.

Tbh, they’re really not that big despite the heaps of praise they receive on here so maybe I’ll be in luck. Ah, yes. I misread 42’s guesses and now I see he didn’t predict the full day. Just the last four acts. Can’t imagine them being in first is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they have a good relationship with the festival which keeps them in good slots, but I agree that many of us have seen them already and I personally feel like it’s a slot which could have gone to someone more exciting. But people like them and I think they will retain a healthy amount of Diana’s crowd. Yeah Sam Fender is popular but I think the chair crowd / people knackered will probably just stay.

MEGABOWL Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Elbows last two albums are excellent. Bit short of festival singalongs but all the better for it. Plus Little Fictions has Sad Captains on it which makes it all worthwhile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a Glastonbury fan site, it’s quite impressive how much ire gets directed towards the ‘friends of the festival’ acts, especially if they’re (gasp) guitar bands (boooooo).

I don’t have a problem with it as it means I get to go elsewhere, but I do get grumbly if a band like Elbow is given a pretty large slot. I’m happy to see they aren’t a sub anymore… mainly because I think those kind of slots are best reserved for someone more exciting. If Glastonbury got into a position where they awarded friends of the festival the best slots every year and rested on these kind of relationships it wouldn’t be Glastonbury, and it would lose that excitement which causes 200k tickets being snapped up instantly. No problem with Elbow playing but I don’t want them to keep their big slot status for much longer. Edited May 7, 2022 by Matt42 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 (Just gonna point out that I didn’t actually call Elbow fodder, even if my comment about them wasn’t exactly in a positive light 😋 Just think they’d do a bit shit up against the likes of Fender).

Mwk525 Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 I think snow patrol could be one of the acts still to be added this year. They got the GSH in their tour and cancelled 2019 so they could slot in on the other stage early afternoon? Also miles kane, rag n bone man and nothing but thieves could all do it but that’s more wishful thinking on my part I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some show elements that need semi darkness. But whatever works. Hopefully they can play more than once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
