They've played a couple of times, but they're another example of a band who are proven headliners elsewhere but don't really have that general mass appeal to headline Glastonbury. See also: Biffy Clyro, Foals.

Didn't they play halfway down the Other Stage in 2016, the year after they subheadlined Reading and Leeds?

Wouldnt surprise me if they headlined Other on their next album. Would be a good counter program to a Dua Lipa headlined evening.

Has there been chat about the (very distressing) possibility of a George Ezra headline slot? 

He has a big GSH from 17-29 June, and is playing other shows nearby.  Subbed the Pyramid in 2019 in front of a HUGE crowd, then did the JP secret set in 2022 (which is often a sign of a "proper" slot next time).  And there aren't really many places to go from his 2019 Pyramid slot....

I sincerely hope there is nothing in this - would be disappointed but not at all surprised if he turned up though.

Why are the Prodigy being tipped so much to play next year? 
 

Dont get me wrong I would fecking love that, even without poor old Keith they owned Brixton academy in the summer. Even if it was 400 degrees inside 😂

They're around, with very logical tour dates.

They seemingly like playing the Festival, and were booked for 2020.

I don't think there's any specific word they're playing as such, but the above combined make them a pretty decent shout.

Have 3 tour dates a few days after Glastonbury, makes a lot of sense.

Is it me Or does this lineup feel a bit pants? Is it real/old?

Thats 2015. Its real. Drake was a mess and the Madonna cameo didnt help. Florence broke her foot the first weekend 2 songs into her set and then sat for weekend 2.

You know what, if they announced this for Glastonbury 2023 it would be my personal best lineup ever. Got very excited before I realised it was an old one! Explains why Nero is on the top line and Tyler, the Creator is in the tiny writing.

Wonder if anyone could notice a difference between her howls of pain and her singing

Yeah ok. She didnt even realize it til after the set.  
 

if you want a deep lineup then look up the 2013 one. Just swap Chili Peppers for The Stones and thats what it was going to be til things broke down in the literal 11th hour.

Saw Biffy on Sunday night, I know they arnt everyone’s favourites on here, they were excellent but I reckon other headliners at most.

It’s funny to see talk of Flo in 2015, I didn’t go to her headline set, I went to see Hot Chip in West Holts and had the night of my life in the naughty corner instead. I will swear until the day I die that at one stage that night in NYC Downlow she was about 3 yards away from me dancing! If it wasn’t her then she has a twin.

I will admit to having drank a full bottle of Kraken that day though.

That was her! We watched her headline - she was great - then went to SE corner and ended up in NYC Downlow. Friend went to the toilet and while she was gone Florence ran onto stage and sang Spectrum - also great - then vanished into the night (presumably when you spotted her dancing). Friend came back from toilet and asked if she’d missed anything 😂

We also found ourselves near Florence in a food queue in West Holts the next day. She certainly got out and about at the fest

Subbing TRNSMT next year, and has played the last three festivals, so I think we're safe from that.

The info I have on their Wembley show in july is solid, no idea if there's other shows, my info comes from  someone involved in the Wembley show. 

Is it really July 2023, Neil? Seems to make sense to be 2024 to me. I love Blur, so buzzing to see them again if and when they play live.

The 30th anniversary would be 2024 and most things I’ve read have suggested that, but maybe they’ve decided to do it a year earlier?

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury
