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?

Either that or it isn't an anniversary thing. Certain lazy journos have heard they are playing and just assumed.

Swear we heard someone a few years back on about them doing an anniversary thing at APE and it never came about. From a sales perspective a reunion on it's own would probably sell really well given they've been away for a while, hence they don't need the anniversary thing. Then they could always make fans double dip by doing the Parklife anniversary show in 2024, off the back of a televised Glastonbury set as well as a sold out Wembley date.

And if we are looking for an anniversary it will conveniently be 25 years since they first headlined the festival. 

As in 2023, or 2024?

Edit: 23 isn't it, 1998 being the first time they headlined

Ok cool, thanks for the info re: Blur, Neil and everybody else. Much appreciated, I so want to see them play again!

As I say, it just surprises me it's 2023 with Gorillaz having a new album out early next year, as well as The Waeve and Dave Rowntree doing some solo stuff too. But nothing shocks me with Damon & Co, so bring it on... whether it's 2023 or 2024.

Gorillaz have been touring on and off for a couple of years now and Albarn pumps out albums pretty regularly for them these days. Wouldn't be a massive shock if they weren't touring next summer.

Surely no truth in this??D58AD572-5B1F-4D8A-BF01-6876CA6CFDB6.thumb.jpeg.ed5f8084997448ec4344ea47234818dd.jpeg

Just as it's a possibility a meteor falls from space and obliterates the pyramid. I'm sure there's nothing to see here.

I'm sure there's truth in that he'd be open to it. We are really scraping the barrel if this lot are in contention

Barrel scraping is already well in progress with most of the other suggestions

We really need a headliner announcement and a couple of decent indications on the other two. Ultimately, they'll get it right (they seldom don't) and it'll be amazing. We just seem to be stuck in some kind of weird soul destroying vortex of mediocrity at the moment. 

Are we? I think it's all a bit of fun at the minute. Throwing random names at the wall. I don't think it's as doom and gloom.

The girlfriend wants to go on loads of holidays next year after not doing any this year in favour of festivals - I've already pushed the number of gigs we're going to. I'm hoping its like the day before Springsteen or something when we're already down there!!

I could name you seven albums, never mind songs (quiet at the back @Supernintendo Chalmers).

 

Anyway... "he was asked on the red carpet about the chances he’ll get back together with Bon Jovi for a Pyramid Stage headline slot next summer.

Sambora, who exited Bon Jovi after 30 years in 2013, refused to rule out a reunion with Jon Bon Jovi and co.

According to Metro, Sambora said with a ‘cheeky smile’ on this face: “It’s a possibility. We’re talking a bit.”"

 

Complete bollocks, obviously, just another confused musician thrown a question on a red carpet. He probably means they're talking a bit about him rejoining the band.

Literally. If you're in a band/artist, and you get asked about glastonbury, it's almost always beneficial for you to say there's a chance etc because it'll get you an article and put you into discussion which is just free publicity.

    • 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.
