Are Interpol a possibility? New Album about to drop and a Glastonbury size hole in heir schedule after pinkpop

Ooo nice. Everyone is possible. Everyone has GSHs. There must be a long list of bands like this that could step in for (Covid) cancellations as well.

No chance Taylor is doing anything by herself. Maybe a 0.1% chance she shows up as a guest with Macca but that's about it

I'd put the "turn up as a guest" a fair bit higher than that, and widen it out to a few other artists, but yeah she's obviously not playing any set of her own this year.

Even without setting foot on a stage, I actually think there's a decent chance she's on site in some form, if only for a few hours - she will have seen all the hype when she was announced for 2020, and there's still a very strong likelihood she'll do it in the next few years so it'd make sense that she'd want to check the festival out.

Don't kill the dream man!

Doesn't make sense for her in terms of touring a big production show and her album cycles. She can still do an acoustic set of Folkmore + All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version).

 

There's actually a lot of 'buzz' about her doing that across the Atlantic with The National on the Friday 22 July of another festival with some history to it, this year's Newport Folk Festival, where The National are the Friday 'headliners' and Josh Kaufmann on site with Bonny Light Horseman. A makeshift backup band at a festival that is known for collaborations rather than 'regular sets'. She also has a summer home just down the road from Newport Rhode Island.

I put it at 0.1% as I don't want to get my hopes up!

If she did come out with Macca (like she was supposedly going to in 2020 IIRC), that would be amazing.

What makes you say Biffy? Info/rumour/gut feel/wish list?

In fairness Biffy played a fantastic set at Download on Sunday. It was the same show they did at Cardiff Bay last summer. Presumably they could just turn up festival ready.

But the ones who run it get info ahead of time and then decide when to divulge it in terms of causing a giant ramming and such.

 

i think the Thurs Williams Green will be packed already due to the Eavii being on stage before

The WG Thursday is always rammed, don’t matter who’s there tbf

War on Drugs in Bristol on 27th June - very close - just saying?

To me they've gotta be odds on favourite for the park sunday slot. I think they'll have someone quite big for the John Peel slot (1975, Arctic Monkeys) and then TWOD seem about right for that park slot.

Opposite for me. John Peel slot is early doors without much competition so I feel that one will have be a slightly lesser act, whereas the Park one is on later against a bunch of big acts and will be the biggie imo.

    • 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.
