Exciting to be reading this with a ticket now!

 

Same! Incredibly lucky to get tickets today, only 59 days until gates open too..

[Euphoricape]

Now I have a ticket, what's the news on the prodigy? Any chance of them showing up?

That's a shame, they out of the country at the time or have said they aren't playing? Maybe a secret set...

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.

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

Makes such a difference, right? Haha. I like the fantasy of pretending I might be there, but to actually be going now, it's beyond exciting!

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

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

I know - I was saying would they allude to playing 2 months before the festival if it's going to be a secret set

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?
