TBH I dunno if I see him being booked at all cos he's not big enough to headline but probably wouldn't want to do a lower slot for a few blocks of Worthy Cheese.

 

He's the country Tyler, The Creator.

So he'll get booked and then not be there?

Would be good to see some of the more modern country acts give it a go. Zach Bryan, Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton. Even Post Malone with his newer releases. Saw Chris Stapleton in Bham on Tuesday and he was incredible

The main issue with this though is that country music is utter horseshit

I think the modern lot would do really well at Glasto.

 

I don't know country well enough, but where does Carrie Underwood fit in this?

 

As someone not familiar with the "scene", I'd have considered her a fairly big, modern, mainstream crossover country name - but when she played Glastonbury a few years ago it was a fairly early Pyramid slot and even then she didn't draw a big crowd.

Country is very much in fashion at the moment, a lot more than when she played.

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.   
    • Interview on 6 music earlier, was going to get the album to have a listen, but comes out the day they play the festival 
    • Additional dates added already    
    • I feel like it's not COMPLETELY beyond the realm of possibility that they could headline but I just don't see it.    They're not doing anything other than headlining. So nah, I don't see it.
    • Consider that the sound quality can be better near the front bars right behind the soundbooth rather than closer to the stage, like with mbv. And of course, the front sections are full of talkers too.   The most courteous move would be to have conversations in the very back of the field.
