Quick point of order, who exactly are the "picnic blanket brigade"?

eFests is full of references to this huge, nebulous, entity but nobody really defines them or what they want.

I'd dare say it's some bullshit gatekeeping phrase designed to disparage those who like popular things.

My thoughts entirely, probably refers to those who are interested in seeing Coldplay as opposed to a German saxophone quartet on the park stage cause it's alternative.

Stevie Wonder

I think Liam has added more dates that rule him out.

Plus he's headlining Reading.

Just checked and he's playing Manchester on the Friday now. He never does 3 in a row so Sunday would be the only one he could do. TRNSMT is the next gig I can see he has booked after Manchester. 

I can't see it though.

Spare a thought for Chris Martin, he spent a week learning Like A Virgin on the piano.

There's a bizarre AI Twitter account that randomly reported Stevie Wonder is headlining a few weeks back.

Imagine if they've got the scoop and everyone has just ignored it.

That AI bot was a harbinger

Regarding Springsteen doing consecutive nights - I think it's far more likely that one or both of the Nijmegen shows gets moved than him playing in the Netherlands one night and Glastonbury the next. There's enough space in the schedule to accommodate that if the motivation to play Glastonbury was there.

Either move both shows forward a day, or move the second show from the 29th to the 25th. Each scenario would preserve the "no consecutive nights" pattern and free up the Sunday at Glastonbury.

Or more likely still, it's not him.

 

If you see something like that happen it’s time to very quickly get on whichever bookies  sites offer odds on Glastonbury.

Actually... what is Sam Fender doing next year?

If we are considering a "when not if" scenario regarding Fender would they push him forward a year if they were in a pinch?

Got to get that third album out I reckon. If he does that and it’s even just decent he’s the shoeiest of shoe ins for 2025.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are prepping a new album. Wouldn’t the finest live act on the planet make a great Pyramid headliner?

There's no way The Hold Steady are headlining.

I'm going to say the only one of those that could feasibly top the Pyramid next year is Miley. I don't think Beyonce will ever do it again, but she is next closest.

I think you're unlikely to see any of the others at the festival again in any way.

Give me Miley though, please and thanks.

I'd be over the moon at this

You really take your work too seriously 😉😊

Has Stevie nicks been ruled out yet ? 

Friday - Dua lipa

Saturday - Depeche mode

Sunday - Stevie Nicks

Legend - Cher 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Only ruled out in the sense that noone would ever rule her in to headline the whole shebang.

This would be an interesting one, would definitely divide opinion on a large scale. I'd be up for him personally, would feel like a Jay Z/Kanye level backlash though

[CaledonianGonzo]

Booking Drake would certainly wind up the Picnic Blanket Brigade!!!

I don’t even like The National but this is downright offensive

Enough to make them say 'Hold on, we're going home'?

[OllieMadd]

To save me a few clicks, has anything new developed? Last I looked we were still basically on for Dua Madge and Coldplay

They sat through Jay-Z. They sat through Kanye. They even got out of their chairs for Kendrick.

But Drake??
