That's a lot of research from not knowing who he was 6 hours ago. I suppose its a Bank Holiday 😄

I clicked on the blog expecting to eyeroll at it but tbh I thought it was even handed and fair. Seems a better deal has been found for this year!

Well, the first 3 things I heard about him were 1. He whined about the pay at Glasto, 2. He broke his own pledge not to go back to Glasto just a few years later, and 3. He's popular in London. Ergo, prick.

Hard to argue with this 😄

You didn’t read his blog at all, did you? It was entirely reasonable, he was disappointed it didn’t work out in 2016 and he said he hoped he’d be back the following year. So there never was a “pledge not to go back”.

He’s actually from Merseyside and is probably more strongly associated with Manchester than anywhere else. He’s popular in London, yes, but if you’re writing people off as pricks on the basis of that, then I guess you’re gonna have to put pretty much the entire lineup in the same category.

With greg i noticed he’s got three gigs all on the thursday - looks like he has other commitments the friday and saturday which is a shame but i suppose these things can come up last minute. Like his blog says, he will need to do three shows at glasto at the rates they pay to get anywhere near his normal fee and it probably wont even be that. At least he wont have to travel far from stonebridge to rabbit hole!

Not sure where to put this, but seen someone talked to Ghosts caterer after their gig in Birmingham Friday, and reckons they're playing. Hope so. Not sure where they'd fit. Truth stage, other stage? They've just been announced headlining a festival in france the week before too.

They do sound like they could be this year's biggish metal band, for Shangri La if not the main stages, but... the caterer??

Here's the exact reply I got. Ah really got my fingers crossed.

"Got my intel from some guy who said he did their catering. 🤣 Was chatting to him after the gig, he reckoned he was staying in some pod thing at Glastonbury with Ghost. Wen I questioned him did he mean Ghost were playing there, he said he didn't know it wasn't confirmed publicly. Cud all be bollocks of course, but I believe him! 😁"

European exclusive at hellfest

That could rule them out. On the other hand Phoebe Bridgers was supposedly a UK festival exclusive at Latitude. Sometimes Glasto seems to gets treated differently, perhaps as it's already sold out.

They only got booked for hellfest in the last 2 months due to someone pulling out which makes it less likely. Also hellfest exclusives are generally much more secure than UK exclusives. Though with brexit who knows

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
