I listened to Pablo Honey the other day after hearing Blossoms excellent cover (I'm not a Blossom fan generally) and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Yeah for sure that is true. I was gutted when I missed out but then I saw the headliners and thought 'at least I didn't miss out there too much' and managed to get tickets for 2025 instead. I would have still have had a great time but for me the cost of going to Glasto is higher than most (I live in Bavaria, flights aren't cheap) and I'd like to see at least 1 headliner on the pyramid. 

 

I will have an amazing time there despite that and I'm hoping some bands I like are headlining elsewhere but it's still a bit of a disappointment for me.  

f**kinell, I'd love to live in Bavaria.

This is looking shaky now. For 1975 at least.

Not that we like to quote The S*n, but they doubled down the other day on The 1975 headlining when dropping news about album number six.

Well, only 1 of the Pyramid headliners have been announced so far.   The usual suspects will probably come at me for saying this, but the others are just rumours and may or may not be correct in the end so you might be lucky!

There are worse places to be! I live near Bamberg, if you're bored and want to google the small city. It's very pretty. There's also a beer garden close to me where it cost €2.50 for a 0.5l beer last year. Maybe it's going up to €2.60 this year. 

 

It's great for my wallet, not great for my waistline 😃

Yeah...when Leeds/Reading was "good" though! Look back at some of those lineups and WOW. 

Tbf I agree that Reading and Leeds is no longer producing line-ups I'd like to see and that it just seems to be a bit more of a scattergun and unfocused approach.

 

But it also makes me feel like this:

Interesting. Was there now a whisper 1975 might no longer be the lock it looked like being?

[FrogLobster]

Why is 1975 potentially out now? I thought everyone here was adamant they were playing? 😄

Cba scrolling back but what’s happened with The 1975 to make people think they’re out? 

[Ben7amin_]

Weirdly not heard much about the 1975 in ages - but then this weekend did read some article about them making a new album - and if it may or may not have a Taylor Swift diss track on it - it referenced they were a top pick to play Glastonbury but no other news on live gigs at all. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Not been paying too much close attention, but other than a few suggestions on Daphne and Celeste for a gag, I didn't think there was anything over the past few days to change the consensus that it is The 1975 on the Friday.

 

Certainly, The S*n will look stupid if it isn't given they've doubled down a couple of times. (Wouldn't be the first time, of course.)

Someone on the discord is saying that 1975 is out and Fender is back in?

I take it all with a pinch of salt until it comes from the festival.

What are you referring to here?

 

 

[fraybentos1]

There's nothing substantial saying it isnt the 1975 and a lot of reliable people saying they are playing the friday

I'm not on there - when did that nugget drop, if I may ask?

 

Should say I've had a slew of birthday celebrations the past week and my memory may or may not have been affected by such chaos.

Meh. Might as well be either one of them, imo. As always, nothing is official until it’s been signed and revealed.

Feel free to disregard this. It’s literally one guy saying they’re out vs. tons of other places saying they’re in. Obviously always a chance that one guy is right, but honestly I’d be surprised if 1975 aren’t the Friday headliner at this point along with the other two names. 

[Skip997]

1975 or Fender, much of a muchness or “same, same but different” as they say in India:

It’s only today I’ve heard about it but I’ve not read it myself yet. Apparently it’s from someone that used to post here but i don’t know if it’s a reliable source or if it’s true.

When it's revealed is irrelevant if the contracts are signed

[Crazyfool01]

Anyway ….

Do we really need another round of this circular argument? 
 

We don’t know when contracts are signed. We only know when it’s been revealed.

Oh, not dissing Murmur at all, I love it too...just have Lifes Rich Pageant at the top, closely followed by Reckoning, New Adventures in Hifi, Green, Document and some days even Fables before it! (Driver 8 is one of the main reasons for that!). To be honest, apart from Around the Sun, I listen to all of them pretty regularly. Pablo Honey gets a bad rap, it's my wife's favourite Radiohead album so we listen to it a good bit!

I'm more than happy to bite when he puts out that obvious bait. You'd think the Neil Young stuff where he made a total fool of himself would have stopped this but no, apparently not. 

 

Anyway...

 

The chat is still The 1975 and O rod. Obviously I have to caveat this by stating this is not confirmed until they literally step on the pyramid stage in June. Also, as ever, it is subject to change but that is where the reliable insiders are currently. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Thanks very much.

 

Can get back to speculation on setlists, special guests, etc.

 

If it is indeed The 1975 and the other chat on a sixth record is true, then you'd imagine two things now:

 

1) The album is announced imminently and released in late spring, before the festival. Three or four new songs make the show.

 

OR

 

2) The album is announced in the spring and released midsummer, after the festival. One or two new songs make the show.
