Avril Lavigne's tour dates, plus the recent policy of booking people like Carly Rae Jepsen, make her very likely IMO.  I also wonder if there might be some Lavigne/Rodrigo coming together - both sets of dates have a suspicious hole around Glastonbury, and they are known mutual admirers.

The only thing with the Avril dates is that it could be a situation where she is supporting BST or something a la Pink and Gwen last year. Dates looked like a lock on but actually it was just making the most of the trip. Although Gwen ended up shelving almost all of her shows and her tickets ended up on seatfiller sites.

Ooft. I would be all over an Avril set!

First sightings for a couple of names, including Sex Pest and the lads.

Innit, though? 😍

The Royal Blood - QOTSA - Foo Fighters vs Frank Carter - Corey Taylor - Offspring clash is peak horrific. 

If Copping would pull his head out of his arse for a minute he 100% could have got that same RB - QOTSA - Foos run at Download.

Way sooner than I expected to see Arcade Fire back. Interested to see the reaction to them.

Quick scan of Hellfest, and the following all look like names that could (or have already) played Glastonbury:

Dropkick Murphys, Enter Shikari, Baby Metal, Tom Morello, Prodigy, Wargasm, Body Count, Extreme, Mr Bungle, Heart, Nova Twins, Frank Carter, Rival Sons, Offspring, Corey Taylor plus a few potential Earache Express jobs.

I doubt there'll be a stronger lineup anywhere in Europe for my musical taste.

They didn't go away though.  They continued to tour throughout 2022 then headlined a festival in Spain and a festival in Portugal in the summer this year and played Festival in Mexico less than a fortnight ago. 

I guess it is self selecting, in that, people who are bothered by it aren't there and those that either don't know or are okay with it are the people in the audience...and there are enough of them to continue to headline festivals.

If Sam Smith is playing Glastonbury, this rules him out of Sunday, probably makes tge Friday the most likely.

Lineups coming thick and fast now! you love to see it

It is an insanely strong lineup for heavy music. Almost too good.  Loads of clashes.

If it was in the UK, I'd be more than happy to bin off Glastonbury for it. Looks like it's a lot of fun from videos I've seen.

The Streets and IDLES as well.  Would have thought they were pretty likely to feature on the Glasto lineup - sort of paints them into playing Friday if at all.

100%. Metal festivals are my favourite. We've probably discussed it on here, but there's something about being part of that often maligned subculture that seems to galvanise everyone. Makes for a great atmosphere and sense of community. Glastonbury has that too, to a certain degree, but not as much overall

Is the "Pilton Party means they are playing Glasto next year" thing still a thing?  If so, that would seem to count The Streets and Arlo Parks in for Glastonbury 2024.

Like to see them or first aid kit back, park would be the best imo. 

They were the support act for FAK when I saw them in Brighton.  All 5 of them on stage doing harmonies for the encore was the stuff of dreams

We went to mucky for the first time this year and it’s a quality little festival but didn’t have any intention of going back this year, until now! 

We’ll have to see.

My girlfriend is extremely excited about seeing Avril as she grew up listening to her and has never had the chance, and I've got to admit I'm also looking forward to it! Going to get Manchester tickets on Friday then see what happens with our Glastonbury ticket situation, whether she plays and whether she clashes

Yes we saw them both on that tour when they played Barrowlands in Glasgow.

I love metal, but tbh I found an entire festival of it just a bit too much. Obviously loads of sub genres and styles, but overall there wasn't the variety that I want from a fest.

Having said that, Hellfest looks crazy good and I'd be willing to give my theory a test...

Tom Morello is the sort of name I'd love to one day be a curveball legend slot (unless RATM play - similar to the Fleetwood Mac/Stevie situation)

Well it would be a curveball for sure
