Hi folks, random question and not announcement related (hope that's ok to post here) but just wondered if anybody might know the answer with all the mighty glasto knowledge that floats around in the forum. Has there ever been a headliner you can remember who refused to have their set broadcast on TV? I'm going and my brother isn't and he's praying Kendrick's set is shown. Wondered if it was part of the contract agreements to show the sets or anything.

There was an issue with Rolling Stones the year they did it, think only a few tracks were shown.

Think there has been the odd one (Stones for example) where only a few highlights were allowed to be broadcast.

Neil Young

 

And Bowie only allowed the first few songs

The closest we've had in the last 20 years was Neil Young, who only allowed I think it was 3 songs.

Below that, Leonard Cohen wasn't headlining, but outright refused to allow the BBC to even record let alone show his set.

It's not part of the contract the artist has with the festival, it's arranged separately and at the artists discretion - though the exposure they get is usually a large part of the reason for doing the Festival "on the cheap" so refusals would be very rare.

Pretty sure Metallica was broadcasted.

[gigpusher]

Well it seems there is no pattern. Either that or they listened to @Gnomicide

They were. Had their full set added back onto iPlayer in 2020 as well when BBC did its 'Glastonbury Experience' thing.

Nope, they were broadcast alright. I'm pretty sure I have the set somewhere my PC too.

I didn't realise he has said "or after 1800" giving them a let out!  Selfish...

[squirrelarmy]

They know what they’re doing. Over 70 of us in here poised for an announcement. They hooked us right in.

Emily has interacted with The Thingy on multiple occasions and is obviously aware that #ThereIsNoPattern - I wonder if she would do an 11am just to maintain that 😅. 

[DareToDibble]

Emily retweeting stuff just to mess with us further. Cruel.

I reckon the entire festival team have this open in the office just for a laugh.

Definately worth everyone signing that petition though

[Padgey]

Surely all the smaller stages have been announced now so lets have the full thing!

For sure. I’m pretty sure I’ve signed that previously but no harm in doing it again with one of my other emails.

Not at all, there are at least 5 to go even if we don’t get separate announcements for all the same stages as 2019.

I did see a tick list of the smaller stages a couple of weeks ago, might have been Glasto Thingy on Twitter, not sure how many or which ones we've had now.  Which of the smaller stages are still to be released?

Not a pyramid headliner but Massive Attack headlined the other on Sunday night in 2014 and it wasn't put on TV because of the content of their political messages between songs etc. 

what was their political messages?

[zeppelin]

If we are getting both the big announcement on the 24th and all these separate areas then they're going to start coming thick and fast!
