DDave Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 9 minutes ago, discgoesmic said: So general commentary in my group (who like every genre you can imagine) is it's a very safe lineup overall and it appears that the festival is going more alternative, possibly straying from the really big commercial names aside headliners. I thought the exact opposite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfa Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 4 minutes ago, Ddiamondd said: Just realised who the actual Saturday night Other headliner might be: Glass Animals. I absolutely love Glass Animals and keep up with them a lot, but I cannot see it yet. They don't have the festival experience in the UK yet and have only just started headlining stuff in the UK. Would be massive if true though i hope it is as they deserve it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyDunlop Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Overall, for me its a decent line up. Just nothing that I "must" see. Lot's that I'd like to though. Which means... clashes Other than Diana Ross Edited March 4, 2022 by FuzzyDunlop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gut is that if they were on that first poster and aren't on this one, they're not playing. You mean like if there are a few which pop up later? Yeah, those chances went way down. If they had stayed on from 2020 this whole time they wouldve been there. time to count how many carried over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotchilidog Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 In the absence of Taylor, seeing Phoebe there has put a huge spring in my step this morning. Absolutely delighted, my one true clash-busting artist on the line up. It really is a belter of a first announcement, plenty to get excited about on first viewing and I shall start the digging on the unfamiliar now. EXCITED!!!!!!!

It would be speculative but not out the question when you think of acts over the years who have got that early elevation. Think they'll be subbing Other at a minimum. John Peel would be at Streets danger levels if they were headlining on Sunday against Kendrick and PSB. I think Other sub would be a good slot or maybe headlining the Park/WH? Their Reading/Leeds slot I would say suggests maybe not Other headline - although they have just hit #1 in the US too. Ridiculous slow burn for Heat Waves, the longest ever infact - its pretty awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 7 minutes ago, Ddiamondd said: Could be one of the acts Emily was alluding to as a modest 2020 booking who have become huge in the interim. British band, of the moment, have been booked for the Other before...feels more likely to me than a punt on Doja Cat, who is statistically massive worldwide but unproven for a UK fest/Glasto audience. Yeah, could see it in an alt-J kinda way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Glass Animals aren’t gonna headline Other. Like third down or possibly John Peel headliner imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somto Unigwe Raphael Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Glass Animals sub Other, headline JP (the stage they were on in 2020) or like 4/5 down Pymild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenelk Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Loads of great stuff, and I'm flicking through the artists I don't know much about, and adding to me list that I might see. My wife says the facebook groups are a dumpster of people moaning. Try actually listening to the bands first? So many genres represented on that line up, very happy!

Every other Glasto for the last 10 years there has been at least one if not 2 I would have been right into, and then the year I get to go has none. After waiting so long for the Poster drop it just feels a bit disappointing for me. The thing is for your first time pretty much any Pyramid headliner can be special, it’s a spectacle in its own right. My first was Florence, I was always totally ambivalent towards her but was totally blown away by the whole thing and have loved her ever since, but it’s was purely because of the Glastonbury Pyramid headliner moment, and with it being my first it being special. I’m also not a huge Radiohead (ducks) or Coldplay fan, but loved both of their sets. Edited March 4, 2022 by Deaf Nobby Burton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wozwebs Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Didn't manage to get tickets but will try in the re-sale. Looked to start with and thought 'Meh!' but then looking at the text list I would still watch all of these: Diana Ross Amyl & The Sniffers Blossoms Charli XCX Courtney Barnett Crowded House Elbow Foals Fontaines D.C. Griff HAIM Holly Humberstone Idles Inhaler JARV IS Jessie Ware The Jesus and Mary Chain Little Simz Lorde Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds Olivia Rodrigo Pet Shop Boys Phoebe Bridgers Primal Scream Sam Fender Self Esteem Sigrid Skunk Anansie Squid St. Vincent Supergrass TLC The Waterboys Wet Leg Wolf Alice Edited March 4, 2022 by wozwebs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come June 22nd when those gates open, I'll be still trying to decide between some killer clashes. The initial poster has always been slightly underwhelming for me, probably because of the ridiculous build-up. Maybe because we pretty much guess 95% of it during that time. I'm all about the rogue announcements, the specific areas, etc. That's when I peak. And let's not forget the absolute coup of securing Kendrick when (almost) every other major festival either couldn't get him or said he wasn't touring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexOvd Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 2020 was already good, but the new names added for 2022 are basically among my favourite bands: Idles, Wolf Alice, Foals, Lorde... (and keeping Kendrick in, as I was not interested in Taylor). Superb work and I have the feeling as per Emily tweet that we will still have more things to come. Just Flo as a secret set and I am done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like a quarter of that line up your weekend is already sorted. Given how much has still not been released and the troubling times (both covid and serious war) they have pulled it out of the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingerbobs Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Was all set to do some work on the train but a quick glance at the Guardian where I saw it had landed (came straight here to peruse the acts) saw a quick end to that. A whopping 18 solid acts there for me which is more than I usually get on the final drop. A big ol' Macca thumbs up from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergrass and Years & Years seem obvious for two of our Other subs, Glass Animals seem a decent shout for the third one. Glass Animals into Doja Cat on Saturday night seems reasonable while Noel and Macca are on the Pymild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Good linep. Not the best by a longshot but still solid. Very happy to have r Pheebs, Mitski and St Vinny on board.

Matt42 Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 just totalled up… that’s a shit tonne of acts I’d like to see. No way I’m going to see them all. That’s insane.

With the Doja talk, she sub headlining Coachella. This is a massive get for Glastonbury, as much as we laughed at Matt for going on about it, my main thing of her not being there was her size vs the audience of Glastonbury. But they got her.

jparx Posted March 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Just got quite emotional reading the BBCs piece on this with a heavy focus on Macca, a week after his 80th. Absolutely massive to have him back, it’s going to be unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
