Been looking at post history and he got the killers 2 months early (was it common knowledge in 2019?). Lots of TRNSMT info too for 2019

Liam Gallagher is definitely big enough love him or hate him, few artists could do 2 knebworth shows alongside a schedule of pretty excessive touring

And how many things has this poster gotten wrong over the years?

I don't think Liam Gallagher headlines, but if he did, regardless of what many on these boards might think, it would be generally well-received and very busy on the night

No doubt.  He's clearly massively popular.  Fuck knows why, but he is.

Liam Gallagher is not a quality act. Shite live in terms of energy and vocal ability. Seen him multiple times and been disappointed every time. 
Considering he plays Oasis songs for 11/17 of his setlist shows no one actually really cares about his solo venture and it is more an excuse to keep touring and reliving past glory. 

Would be an incredibly underwhelming headliner

Absolutely superb at Knebworth earlier this year. Doesn't seem like a progressive Glasto booking mind but as others have said the field will be chocka block.

Don’t at all buy that Liam is gonna headline, but if he does end up doing it you’ve gotta think they’ve gone through a lot of other options to get there and must’ve had a big last minute dropout. 

Yeah he’s obviously big enough… but he’s still a weak booking for Glastonbury, especially after subbing in ‘19 and interest noticeably waning massively any time he played a non-Oasis song.

AM, GNR, Liam, Roxy makes me think that things have gone horribly wrong and there’s probably been some very intense meetings in the office.

it really does look like cost of living glastonbury though

Define "gone horribly wrong", I mean it's not a particularly progressive trio by any means, but it is still three stadium sized acts that many people would be very happy with.

FWIW I don't for second think that would be the trio.

It comes to something when Roxy Music are the most exciting on the list doesn’t it?

It does feel very much like they're scraping the barrel with having LG headline - especially if it's because of a drop out 8 months before the festival so you'd assume there'd be a decent list of acts to go through before settling with LG.

Maybe the CoL / inflation / weak pound is catching up to Glastonbury and is impacting American bookings.

Either that or the info is wrong.

The thing is the same could be said for anyone almost. If you put them on at headliner time. Nobody will ever headline to an empty Pyramid field.

    • 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.
