Yeah of course not mate. Where did you get that info from?

Even though I'm not a fan of WA at all, a set from them there is cool... A DJ set seems stupid to me, especially considering it has a bit of a clash with Sam Fender

Don't really want to give my source away mate. Tbh if your a fan of wa the chance to get up close and personal whilst your fav band dj isn't the end of the world. Agree its not the same as watching a band olay though

Which stage then as Park and Peel are the biggest with TBAs 🤔 Also he’s on tour in Germany on the Sunday 

That's the extent of my knowledge I'm afraid (and things may have changed). As I said, Park and Peel would be unlikely for him.  Perhaps the Greenpeace?

For the introducing stage, I know there's a consensus that it's Wolf Alice, Idles, and Arlo Parks, but were there any guesses for the Saturday afternoon slot? Was this on the initial schedule?

That's fair, thought that you'd seen it posted somewhere!

Yes the Vampire Weekend secret Park set was AMAZING! Wondering if any of the currently listed bands will do something similar. 

Completely disagree, thought it was w*nk. In fairness it could have either been the raging hangover or the fact they rudely woke me up in my tent in pennard but I remember thinking it was very underwhelming. 
 

I strongly remember not being a good state overall that early in the morning

Greenpeace would be absolute carnage, for Barry piles. my bull shit sensor is touching cloth…

We need cold hard facts… now what do you have to say for yourself ?

He was not on the lineup drop. You can see it from the screenshot in the tweet from 2017 (had to check if I was going insane or not) - 

Listed as a TBA on Saturday on the Other Stage.

They added a few names + a final poster 2 weeks later, including Liam.

 

The first two twitter replies made me laugh

The guy has 60 comments on the forum and joined only a year ago. This really seems like "My mate's uncle's wife's cousin heard from his old schoolteacher" levels of trustworthy

Hahaha. Seems I've been found out. If only I had 10,000 comments under my belt, then I'd be trustworthy. (Weirdly one of my 60 comments was knowledge of a Green Man artist last year).

Anyway, as I said that's the extent of my knowledge, but the stage organiser who told me was pretty drunk, and it was over a month ago.

Zoe Ball did choose to ask him about Glastonbury, and he did remain coy in answering it.  I'd certainly give this a lot more credence than Green Day.  Avalon stage, 11:30 - 12:30, Friday morning.  Calling it.

Good spot. However, Avalon actually opened in 2019 at the same time of 13:00 on Friday. It was even the same band!

HOBO JONES & THE JUNKYARD DOGS    13:00 - 13:55

https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/line-up/line-up-2019/#avalonstage

Unless of course, there was also a secret set on that year??

 

 

They kind of teased it on the OS with the 'sign of the times' post though..

 

IF  (and that's a pretty big if) Nasty Piles is playing, how about BBC Introducing Sat 13:00 - 13:30 ? Not sure if that area can be closed off at all however.

The new layout actually looks to me like it could be closed off relatively easily for BBC introducing...

Blocking the 3 entrances between hedge rows not just from the path to the stage you mean?

BBC Intro also backs on the main backstage area

Yeah, close off the whole area with stewards/gates and you've got the tent and plenty of spill over space if needed. As well as another route around to the pyramid.

I've been fairly reliably informed that a former member of a boy band, turned actor/solo artist, whose name rhymes with Barry Piles, is a confirmed secret act. Would be surprised if this was Park or Peel (my money is on War on Drugs for one of those)

I thought about TWOD as well, but wouldn't they just be booked for the festival outright rather than a secret act? It'd be very cool but just not sure what they'd get from it I guess?

Yeah, I'm feeling this. Doesn't really need longer than half hour either does he? If he turns up on Friday with someone else, I'd be thinking this one is on. Early Saturday before he shoots off to Germany.

They’re playing Bristol on the Monday evening and it doesn’t appear to have sold out. Perhaps they asked to only be announced once that show had sold out - presuming that would happen before the final poster. Since that didn’t happen, they agreed to be a secret set instead?

Also my thinking re: TWOD. Why secret?

Dream secret sets for me still 1975 on JP and, out of nothing but blind hope, AF on Park. If that's a no go then have the 1975 on Park and Green Day in JP.

I was really surprised and disappointed that The Mysterines weren't on the line-up. Checking their website they're definitely free. Williams Green Thursday?

They were on the line up for 2020, so I always presumed they’d be here in 2022. Same as you, I’m pretty surprised they’re not.

    • 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.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
