Matt42 Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Fair enough. I can’t see Jack White on the park being a serious crowd issue either. (Albeit well attended). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 I also think (and just my view) that 2023’s headliners may be locked in, and they could potentially have started conversations for 2024 already. I can totally see Harry doing a surprise this year if he isn’t part of either of those conversations. If the earliest he can do it is 2025 then I can see his team pushing for a big surprise set, which will likely get just about as much coverage as a headliner post festival.

Jpw48 Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Jack White playing might mean we get to hear 3 James Bond themes in one weekend. I'm also 99% sure I'm the only person who'd care about that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How early did they know about Foals - this sounds very very promising? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt42 Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 In theory which area can hold the most people? JP or Park? Because AM at the Park just sounds crazy dangerous to me. They are a proper headline band, if word got out or there wasn’t a strong alternative I could see it getting dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of being able to get a good sight/earshot of the stage - probably JP, but it's closer than you're thinking. In terms of being able to safely fit in to the area that'd be closed off - Park, even before you count the people who could fit on the hill overlooking.

I think there's generally enough on elsewhere that people will try to see Foals or AM but get there, realise it's too busy/ closed off and revert back to their original plan Edited May 7, 2022 by kemosabe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeezLouise Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Any new theories on Miserably Dressed? I'm getting obsessed.

We had a bit of info they could be playing and the way they dress all adds up to me. But I’m a massive ghost fan so it could just be me manifesting them to play.

They’re an exclusive at another festival the same weekend as Glastonbury which could well explain why they need to be a secret, and given there isn’t really a ‘big’ rock/metal act on the Truth Stage this year like Gojira in 2019, maybe Ghost are gonna take on that role (or it might just turn out they couldn’t secure one this year - no idea if Gojira was a special one off or something they’re trying to do every year - but that theory isn’t quite as exciting). Ghost have my vote so far, although prepared to be disappointed and it’s just some DJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
