The most boring beige eventuality imaginable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy lives for secret show to be honest, the whole Under Great White Northern Lights tour with the White Stripes, they played pop up gigs in the cities they were at earlier in the day. Dead Weather did a secret Park show. He attempted to play guitar for Last Shadow Puppets one year. and I saw him play on Damien Hirst's balcony last September for the grand opening of TMR London.

Unless that's an old sign from another year (he's not played JP before has he), it's a dead cert. They know he's not a H&S risk, they just want to soft-announce him. It's Ezra for sure.

He played JP in like 2014 I think but his current album is called the Gold Rush Kid so very much a new sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyT Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 I wanted it to be Paolo Nutini but I know I’ll be in the minority who is actually also pleased it’s George Ezra. I’ll be there with bells on. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite like the way they soft-announced it!

leath02 Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 As much as I don't care about George Ezra, this takes a potential name off BBC intro lunchtime slot. and thus one step closer to Sault being locked in..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether she was asked to tweet the picture or not, them sneakily announcing stuff like this seems to be the way they do things these days to stop thousands of people turning up to an act they hate. No point keeping them a total secret in this day and age - just put it out there in some way and let people find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line up is as strong as any other just, stronger imo, but there's definitely a Glastonbury effect of names going on to be huge afterwards and becoming more recognisable. E.g. Oasis playing 8th down the other stage in 94 (followed by pulp, blur and Radiohead on the same day) Saw them all, and it was hot and sunny. What a day that was.

discgoesmic Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 I’m pleased with GE, he just has banger after banger for a festival crowd. Do understand why people aren’t pleased though when you think of all that is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartbert two hats Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 I guess it's worth remembering that TBA doesn't necessarily mean "secret". Sometimes it literally means they're yet to announce it, and will do before the festival starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it took 3 hours which is longer than I expected, but now it’s totally out there for anybody who cares to know. I think she knew what she was doing - she could’ve photographed any other sign but she chose that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he does have a backing band? Does he? I've no idea, I've heard his voice, I have no intention of standing in front of a stage with him on! I always thought that meant nothing as almost every solo act who would be on a large stage would have a band as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
