What’s the thinking with Pulp? Saw that tweet regarding them potentially playing a few days ago, but might have at been somebody teasing.

I'm not convinced that if you are playing the festival then as a member of the band you would Tweet referencing it. 

 

I'd actually say that tweet is a negative rather than positive if anything, sadly

Nick Banks replied to someone asking him about Glastonbury by simply saying "Somewhere, In a field in Somerset"

It would be a bit of a tease if they aren't gonna play, it seems unthinkable that they wouldn't be on the bill somewhere, but who knows. I'm praying they get added, as apart from AM & Reg, i'm not feeling the line up at all this year so far.

Oh, bugger.

I mean that's just my opinion, I'm not in the know or anything

 

I just think the combination of:

  • almost all of the big slots being known
  • there being less huge bands on smaller stages as 'secret sets' nowadays
  • that tweet

all makes it less likely. Only way I can see it is if it's on the Pyramid during the middle of the day as a TBA, but it's unlikely I think 

 

I can however see then as 2024 headliners. Yes they'd be the smallest in recent years but if they're alongside two female megastar headliners (as seems likely), I think it is very possible. If you had, for example, Madonna/Dua Lipa/Pulp, I don't think anyone is criticising that as weak. Plus Pulp would be one of the cheapest headliner bookings they could make

Do they do it this far out from the festival when they'd be playing a secret set? I can't remember any whisper of Killers/Foals/Jack White etc 

The precept that they'd have to be a secret set if they were playing any lower than Pyramid Sub / Other headliner seems shaky at best.

As does the assumption that the band would consider it important to keep the secret.

It's a lyric from there song " Sorted for Ez and wizz" which is a song about festival life.  I think its Hampshire in the actual lyrics he switched it out.

The video for the song is then performing at Glastonbury 95.  I would call it a cryptic self confirmation

Im sure they’d be more than aware they’re playing by now.  We shall see I guess

Wonder if Stereophonics are in line for a secret set, I heard on a podcast that Richard (basisst) is playing with Far From Saints, so yhr two original members on site already

I’d say the front runners have got to be Pulp, The 1976, Florence and the Machine and Foo Fighters

Great work on this. I thought Christine & the Queens was going to be Sat night headline at Woodsies - there’s a poster of dates from Christine with Glastonbury listed as Sat. I’m hoping it’s not a Sunday clash with Elton. Or do you think it’s definitely Alt-J on Sat night?

There's conflicting info on CATQ - their website says Sunday and the poster says Saturday so at the minute it's a bit up in the air. I'm thinking it's more likely to be Sunday, given Lana headlines Other Saturday night and there's maybe more of a crossover appeal between those two rather than CATQ / Elton?

Not much of this is definite, just best guesses.  I've been asking the same thing re Christine, his website says Sunday and poster says Saturday.  Something else I thought of though, CATQ closed out the festival in 2019, maybe fancies a Saturday night this time so he can get down the SE corner and enjoy some of the festival?

    • 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.
