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.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
