thoughts on a Bon Iver Other headline?

saw him at Wembley arena the other week and was brilliant, with an especially good light show/set-up - so would need night time to work best at a festy

But appreciate that those shows were pushed back multiple times from 2020 after the last album came out in 2019, so is too late now?

They've announced one date the start of June next year in Sweden (I think?) so they're about. I'm hoping they're there for sure. Would be a great other headliner.

The War On Drugs subbing the Pyramid? Has your average Glasto punter even heard of them?

Also where are these Rihanna predictions coming from?

TWOD subbing is ridiculous i think, they do festival slots nowhere near the size of the other subs knocking about

Agreed. They're not that big.

I don't usually make flags, but if Fred plays, I'd be very tempted to make one

"Easier to get tickets to Glasto than Fred Again in Brixton" 

I'd say he's nailed on. He most certainly should have already been there this year, but was playing across the U.S at the time & his team seemed to prioritis Coachella over Glasto.

If he'd made 2022, I think he could pulled a lovely secret set in JP (absolutely rammed mind you).

Now after the new album, I could see him subbing the Pyramid. Feels similar to XX before Radiohead in 17.

He's so radio friendly even the chair crew would be bopping along.

Phoebe Fucking Bridgers won't be back already will she?

I love her but I don't see why she would be booked again. She can come back in 2024/25 once she has a new album out.

If setlist fm has everything then it looks to me that glasto just missed the wave. He could have easily done Glasto and Electric forest and his instagram posts made it seem like he  wasn't even approached

Hes not subbing the pyramid

Subbing the Pyramid?  This hype is getting daft now... he'll barely sub WH.  XX had three albums, and In Colour was a couple of years old, in 2017.

Can already picture the crush of Freds set at Park. He's not big enough yet for Other imo but I cant think of another stage that would fit his crowd. I would say it would be one of the biggest crowds of the weekend.

Fred will be headlining West Holts.

Defo big enough for that now.

Think Fred Again would be a great WH headline, similar to Bicep/Jusitce/Disclosure as a Sunday night dance option.

west holts headline. id say he could possibly other stage headline if hes up against someone like guns and roses and draw a big crowd due to lack of mass cross over.  I went to his WHP gig and he draw a crowd that was 50% bigger than jamie xx on the same stage.

He is no where near that big. 

I get the hype train is massive and he'll get (and deserve) a decent slot, but he ain't subbing the big one.

Absolute rubbish. Caribou did it this year who did a single show at Brixton last time they toured.

    • 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.
