balti-pie Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 yep, earache get a mention next to wargasm, bob vylan, and nova twins - i presume they helped with the bookings? - but its a fair step down from putting on a stage for four nights, sixteen bands . . .

Rocketfrog1820 Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 I was hoping for Ice Nine Kills/Sleeptoken/Don Broco to make an appearance. Wargasm isn't my cup of tea haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanForThewin Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Was looking forward to another Gojira type addition like last year. But yet to see any. Mayer my lack of knowledge is not helping. So if anyone sees any decent metal type bands on the line up, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_nre Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 It does say in the article that there are more stages to come, so hopefully Earache is one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howlin_pete Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Nova Twins and Bob Villan have Earache in brackets after their listings, so there might be more to come from that stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balti-pie Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 just tweeted Earache, they said they're putting bands on the Truth stage and cant wait to party, but it doesn't seem like there's a Scum stage lineup to drop . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curiouscat Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 As a metal fan myself, I'm a bit gutted there is a clear gap there. I'm not specifically going for the metal music, and do love the festival as a whole. But there does seem a huge gap. Bit of a shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It totally is! I'm debating sacking Glasto off and going to Outbreak as the line up there is unreal and Glasto isn't doing it for me!

Yeah, with all the genres at Glastonbury, it’s strange how metal/hard rock seems to be missing. Wouldn’t be as bad if the Earache/Scum stage was just one or two days alternating with the Truth stage like they do with The Pit/Lock up/ FR stages at Reading.

Even if you ignore the lack of metal, I’ve always found it strange that Glastonbury seem to think that everyone turns into massive Dance music fans once the clock strikes midnight.

That’s what was so good about earache express and then the scum stage. Take in the headliners and then head out and listen to to something heavy. It was such a great point of difference to every other late night dance venue. Real shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it does seem pretty oversaturated. Any recommendations for nonEDM late night alternatives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna nose around the greenfields and see what i can find there - i suspect itll be a bit folky etc but as everyone in here says, any kind of alternative is welcome! I dont mind a bit of drum n bass and jungle, its not too dissimilar to some areas of metal, but as i dont take drugs i'll be a little out of place . . . Earache are still having a stage at Boomtown and Kendal Calling, so i've decent hopes they'll return to glastonbury perhaps when the budgets can allow. It got a fair bit of press and attention the last couple of festivals, so i'd have thought its a no-brainer, but i am a bit biased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a lot of crossover with some strains of EDM and metal sounds, I'm sure we'll both find stuff we like 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted June 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Turnstile have pulled out of Hellfest which is the same weekend as Glastonbury. Not sure if they’ve done that to make their schedule a little less hectic or if they’re gonna bail on more dates. All eyes on Outbreak which is also that same weekend.
