Not sure about this I think it’ll sell out and a second date added. Glasgow can sell out big venues no problem. Gerry Cinnamon sold out hampden in a day.

Gerry is an absolute weapon though when it comes to selling Scottish dates.

Weapon must mean something different up here to down south haha! 
 

Yeah no doubt he shifts tickets but I think LG will too. Liam has played 2 of the last 3 trnsmts and it has been mobbed both times.

On the JP you’d imagine.

They were on the 2020 John peel playlist so probably, I still rate they'd ace an early other slot though

Hope Lingua Ignota does some U.K. fests!

Feel like it never truly took off for them, making that leap up, though great to see they’re still on the circuit. Always worth it live. Would assume early JP.

They'd have levelled up the summer of 2020 I feel, that last album is made to be played in the sun. Alas...

The Big Moon are one of those bands made for festivals so I think they'll appear as long as they exist, and I think that should be reflected in certain bands placements, they probably will be JP though.

Does it say which day Dua is playing?

She won’t play until one of the main days, which I think is usually the Wednesday to Saturday after Glastonbury. In 2020 they had Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler the Creator and The Strokes as headiners. Dua Lipa makes sense as the Taylor Swift replacement, with the other three probably staying as they are since we know or expect them to be around.

Confused by Converge on that Roskilde poster. There latest single is called Blood Moon, dunno why they are listed as Converge: Blood Moon though. Either way Converge for Glastonbury please.

Isn't it just Converge with Chelsea Wolfe?

Ah ok if its referring to that it makes more sense. Maybe its their way of saying its not OG Converge but this new thing. Don't know why they wouldn't just say her name though.

Think it's just because it's this different incarnation, likely playing this new album in full or whatever.

Dua, HAIM, St Vincent, Black Pumas, Fontaines and IDLES I can all see making an appearance.

Do bands like Converge end up on Roskilde often I wonder, or are they breaking into more mainstream fests with this incarnation. If the latter maybe we can expect them to show up at Glasto.

She’s absolutely back isn’t she. Man Glasto getting her on the other stage despite her current popularity is a great get. Crowd will be insane even against Macca.

Can we have Lingua Ignota along with Converge.

I think people either way are mad to think Dua Lipa will be missing out Glastonbury. I actually think she needs some appearances to get back in the limelight.

If you’ve turned on any mainstream pop radio station over the last two years you’d know she’s getting plenty of limelight despite not being able to tour. Seems like every sixth song being played is either one of hers or featuring her on some stations. 
 

The tour dates certainly do seem to indicate that she’ll be back, and perhaps the fact that they’ve possibly already got Taylor locked in for ‘24 means Dua is happy to take that Other slot again knowing she’s gonna have to wait a couple of years before she’s offered the big gig on the Pyramid anyway. No bad thing to be in Glastonbury’s good books with an assurance of all out headliner sometime soon.

I'm more thinking not being able to sell her tour. It's a pop radio station, it's there to play pop. We aren't paying for it, we just turn it on and listen. A mega star sells without their songs needing plugging I'll put it that way.
