I guess no Mona Lisa's and Mad Hatters then (besides that shocking remix) which is a shame as I think it's his best song.

my thoughts exactly, i would be a tiny bit dissapointed if he didnt play it. saying that, we have Elton john on el pointo whos arsed!

Anyone else surprised Arctics weren't announced first? For some reason I really thought they would be the obvious first announcement.

By announcing Elton it means it really doesn't matter who else they announce. It's the big news. Arctics will have some people moaning.

(I am well happy)

worst kept secret, no point in announcing. first announcement was alwasy going to be one to grab a headline. wouldn't be surprised if AM don't appear until the poster does

Elton's the big deal. It'll help soften the blow of the other bookings being a bit less special.

Yeah but that kinda my point. I feel like they normally do the least exciting one first.

Although, of course, there is no pattern.

You are all welcome. (Was it me? I can't actually remember.)

Someone said something like “why have you all ruled out Elton John when he’s free all weekend” and then two or three of us went and looked on his website and saw he’d moved the date and yeah it seemed semi-inevitable from then on. Team effort. 

Of the two acts to pull the ‘cancel/postpone an already announced show in France to play the Sunday night at Glastonbury’ card this blows The Who out of the water though, obviously. And hopefully Elton’s sub is a lot better than Paul fucking Weller as well.

At least we can now put all that silly "Elton isn't a headliner, he should do the legends slot" talk to bed once and for all.

One of my friends actually said it in the group chat, but it’s still a very silly argument

An 0800 announcement is unusual I think...maybe Emily thought 'There's no way this bloke will keep his trap shut' after she told us in Frome last night 😂

What's interesting is that her and Nick seemed genuinely surprised when we said we'd worked it out from the Pyramid rocket picture....her exact words were 'Wow, well done!'. 

Perhaps the webcam reveal didn't actually get the attention they hoped it would. 

You've still not told me how you managed to be cozying up to Emily and Nick? Unless they are long term pals of yours 😲

I can’t see too many people being unhappy with AM (though people love to complain about them on this forum for some reason - I don’t really see it anywhere else)

Fair to say, Reg is really not my bag at all!! That being said, I do appreciate his status. He’s regarded by many as a legend and being his last UK gig of his last ever tour, that’s pretty profound I reckon. I’m sure the pyramid will be electric ️ I’ll either soak up that energy and appreciate the moment… or bog off to one of the other 100 stages. Either way I’m only more exited about Glasto this morning!

Will definitely be watching this at the weekend. Might even do the sing-along version to get some practice in! Can't wait to see him headlining on Sunday night. It's going to be one for the ages!1544906730_IMG_166997402338F2.thumb.jpg.b2003ecc0006a4d5ab9e0a604d160a97.jpg

I can't claim any great association tbh....being quite local we've said hi occasionally and my wife met her a few times when Emily was a customer in her shop in Frome. 

Last night was a bit of serendipity I suppose....we'd seen her at the C&G but didn't get a chance to speak. Then much later we were wandering home and bumped into them in a quiet street as they were heading to their car. We said hello and I asked about Elton....once I'd explained why she said it was true and that the announcement would be today. We said we'd not let slip...although most people had worked it out by then in any case. 

We also said we'd be in Pilton on Saturday for the Christmas market and Emily said she'd see us there and talk more about it. 

Lovely folks.

Bless them 😊

Maybe she was so surprised because she hadn't expected Detective @parsonjack to crack the case?

LOVE this. A chance meeting, you impressed her with your deductive reasoning skills, and then arranged a date for a follow up.

10/10 from me.

Looking forward to the update tomorrow.

    • 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
