Is there a current C, TBC, SR etc. list somewhere on the forum? Would it be possible to have a topic that is just the list, with no comments, so it's easy to find and return to? (I apologise if all this has been thought about/covered before)

There isn't one but give me a minute.

Questions on self confirms:

I mean, it's good from attendees points of view but does it piss of the festival at all? Presumably the lower down the bill you are the more leeway? 

What actually accounts for a self confirm such as the above? Booking agencies jumping the gun and not knowing the unwritten rules etc?

It's an interesting question. Someone must have approved the poster, did they think the lineup would already have been out by now? Is it someone who has no clue they shouldn't be doing it or is someone doing it on purpose knowing they'll get a bit of publicity out of it?

Maybe they just want the additional sweet, sweet Spotify cash from @Brave Sir Robinadding them to his playlist ahead of the pack.

In this case with Courtney Barnett, as she's been announced for all those other festivals on there for a while (I think), I imagine its just they were always going to include all her festival shows and just didn't think to take Glastonbury off. Probably happens fairly often - wasn't that how we found out about Aerosmith?

Surely higher up is when you have more leeway as you have much more weight -  festivals need the headliners so if they self confirm they won't get pissy vs some random act lower down who could potentially be punished.

I think as long as you arent revealing stuff about other bands ( like 'we are supporting Radiohead doing a secret set on the other stage, cant wait') or new stages e.t.c, they dont really care if a band are saying they are playing the festival. Most bands chose not to,  so they preserve their own tours, their other festival slots e.t.c

I imagine the constant drip-feed of non-exclusive artists is a good thing for Glastonbury and they won't be too annoyed at it - keeps the hype at a nice level for a few months and probably staves off the "LINEUP WHEN?" brigade a little bit.

    • Annie Lennox could be the one to unite the whole forum, nobody has a bad word to say about her, even noted curmudgeon Skip 😄 I'd probably even amble along for a bit meself, and i'm also a miserable sod 
    • If the below link works - thats interesting.   While I don't particularly put much stock in that account as a source (never seen it before though, tbf), and I can pick a hole or two (see below) in what he says - the timing of it is a week before I had the Fontaines '27 stadium info (same stadium he says on there, Tottenham). The info, or part of it, matches up.   Holes I'd pick: I'd have to watch again but I THINK he says 'end of year' for Tottenham - not possible, for a number of reasons, though he's probably just got his words mixed up there. It's Summer '27, or that's what I've been told. He also says Glastonbury is/would be based on how the album does. That doesn't stack up to me, unless it was a 2028 thing. I suppose that could stack up, but still seems a bit of an odd approach. I would personally still expect it to be 2027 alongside the stadium gigs, IF they are gonna do it, though I've still not got a Scooby when the album is gonna drop, only that the tour is due for Spring (or early) next year.   Interesting, nonetheless.   https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaOB3Q9qkwW/
    • I was hoping that they would just do a tour like they were set to in 2020, rather than having Download as their UK appearance. If they are at DL, I would be surprised to see them headline. I think they sub under Deftones or SOAD 
    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
