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?

    • 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.
