Definitely could be, they were third down at the peak of their popularity in 2017 and they've fizzled out since. Elbow did third this year and their 2021 tour was massive. 

Oh I didn’t mean they couldn’t play 3rd I meant it’s all a bit samey

Ahh right, yeah possibly then although it's not a bad 1-2-3 punch for those looking for it. Rock Werchter this year was RB > Killers > RHCP in a row and it worked well.

Thats Rock Werchter though, Glastonbury is far more varied and tries actively not to just stack up bands on the main stage

Quite true, I think I was just looking at 2022's run of Haim > Noel > Macca and thinking it not unreasonable. Given AM are now a crooner Bowie tribute act you could probably get away with it!

Given we know James are playing in Bristol on the Friday night, and therefore are hopeful to be at Glasto - what kind of stage/slot do you think they might have?  I had a look at the last time they played to get an idea but they opened the Other on the Friday morning so not that good a gauge.

Loving their latest album so keen to see them.

John Peel headliner Sunday maybe ? 
I would be all over it if so , no real interest in seeing Elton .

Could see James very empty at headliner time especially against Elton John. Maybe mid other would be better? Pyramid afternoon even

Thanks all, food for thought. JP headliner would be a good shout. On balance I would probably miss Elton to see them but would be a shame as quite up for the Elton singalong. 

Likely to prefer them over Saturday headlined for sure though if any of the likely rumours are true.

Yeah James would be either earlier Pyramid or like 3rd down Other. Not headlining JP but I'd actually be tempted to see it over Elton.

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
