With all the ridiculously wild suggestions being thrown around (Eminem, Rhianna, etc) got me thinking... when has someone 'big' ever actually gone out of their way to make the trip to the farm to guest on a song?

Obviously we've had friends of the festival (looking at you Chris!) and acts already playing, turn up for other sets (eg: The Boss with Gaslight Anthem) but from memory, i cant think of a big surprise act thats popped up as a guest.

And cue the wave of instances to prove me wrong...

Nick Cave with Kylie….

So the 2008 and 2021 special guests are the same bloke. Doesn't really suggest over-ambiition.

Jack White was special guest in the dead weather's in 2009 on the park aswell, along with klaxons and NERD. All have much more wow factor than ezra, who's at glasto every yea anyway.

With all the names that have been thrown out there I'm absolutely livid at this George Ezra news. He literally played in 2017 and 2019. What a cop out. Why does he get a secret set? Massively disappointing.

This has got to be one of the worst years for secret set confidentiality in a while - chems long leaked and now this a good few days out!

We’ve gone from having nothing on these two big TBAs to knowing who they both are in the matter of 24 hours tbf.

But far, far fewer of the smaller ones that are normally out. On that front we've got *checks notes* a Wolf Alice DJ set and *checks notes again*...*checks notes some more* err, that's it!

If paolo doesn’t do a secret set I riot 

We’ve had info from a few places that it’s happening - just not sure where or when. Saturday still seems to be the recurring day coming up so take your pick of all the smaller stage TBAs.

Supremely disappointed with Bastille and George Ezra. It’s fine, they have strong followers and I’m happy for fans of them, just frees up my schedule a bit.

 

Don’t like Bastille at all. Have no strong feelings on Ezra; he’s fine and inoffensive. If I was sat at pyramid and he was sandwiched between two must see’s I’d sit and watch him, would not go out of my way to watch him.

 

It’s all on The Park now to deliver a critically acclaimed / cult / musico act now in their TBA. I’d happily take The Smile and it is something they would do.

 

What are the most credible rumours for The Park currently? (Arcade Fire, Green Day, LCD, and others are slim to zero %ers now)

 

Side note on special guests: Billie will bring out Harry - book it. Paul and Kendrick may or may not bring out anyone. Paul will definitely do the Lennon duet, and he has infinite reach in the industry so wouldn’t rule out any surprises (his birthday, festival anniversary etc.). Kendrick is most likely to have no guests (but if he brought out ScHoolboy or Jay Rock or something I would lose my shit).

Pity, Serge is doing a cracking job at IOW right now. 

With The Music's Robert Harvey doing some very heavy lifting as 'backing' signer.

Works though, for sure.

Could McCartney bring on Elton John? Rumours a while ago he’d be appearing and had hired a house nearby but can’t see where else he’d fit in. Think was probably pure speculation but who knows at this point. 
 

Also what about the Greenpeace TBA? Don’t think I’ve seen much on that but it’s Sat 20:45 so has potential to be someone big (ish)?

    • 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.
