it does look like an arcade fire photo. Does anyone know hoe many people are currently in the band? 

From Wiki, so take with a pinch of salt etc.

The band's current touring line-up also includes former core member Sarah Neufeld, percussionist Tiwill Duprate, saxophonist Stuart Bogie and multi-instrumentalists Paul Beaubrun and Dan Boeckner.

Grace Petrie is great; if you enjoy left wing, protest music then check her out! 

Ditto Tom Robinson!

A lot of complaints about John Cooper Clarke being transphobic, so i wonder if that slot gets pulled

10 listed here and there is 10 on the photo. I'm not one to jump to conclusions but I'd say this is arcade fire 100% confirmed

Are they not just laying the sand at Glastonbury-on-sea?

The webcam thread said there was activity there. Also a Google image search didn't throw up anything music related.

I try not to let logic get in the way of my reasoning

What would Arcade Fire be? Secret set or other headliner?

An attack on McFly is an attack on me.

Only surprise for me is that they’re not headlining Pyramid.

Given we're in fantasy land, I assume they'll be opening up the Bandstand on the Thursday.

Is Emily not just at the beach with the family as it’s school holidays?*
 

*would love it to be Arcade Fire really

It looks like desert sand to me

Do we have any sand experts who can verify where this sand is from?

There are dog paw prints on it though, would you have a dog with you in the desert? Plus they do look like they’re paw prints made in damp sand, rather than the bone dry sand in the desert, I don’t think they’d maintain their structure like that in completely dry sand.

are you sure that's a dog?

To me it looks like a North American desert fox or a Space Coyote

We are going to need a paw expert too

Yeah! Not going to lie, it is the only song of his I know but looking forward to listening more to him over the coming weeks.

He's great, saw him on the park on a glorious Sunday afternoon. I know first album is the biggest commercial success but wake up now is joyful. Will crack it on after work.

Imelda May was on the 2020 poster but not 2022. First name that had disappeared but is making a reappearance.

Still hope for Anderson paak then 🙏

I am bracing myself for cringe statements about "getting through it" and "being together again at glasto" from a lot of bands.

I did 3 weekenders last summer and never heard any of this nonsense. Just bands saying its been a while and they were happy to be back.

Well up for McFly

[glasto360]

Arcade Fire did have some desert aesthetics in their last album - and recently did some last minute sets in NY - so maybe there's something here.

[Suprefan]

Werent we expecting Ronan Keating on Avalon considering his gap on his tour? Or now he is maybe on a diff stage lile Acoustic. Or of course not playing at all

That’s not true, we’ve been discussing them as an option for a secret set.
