By assessing the playlist, which veers from Heilung to Danny Brown to Cymande to Nia Archives, Holts hasn't lost sh*t.

Fail to watch Lankum live at your peril. They are astonishing and one of probably only two must-sees for me so far from the poster. 

Ben

They are high on my list. In fact Irish music definitely having a big moment and being Irish I'm here for it!

NewDad and The Mary Wallopers are on the shortlist as well.

Ah fair enough then, I did think it seemed a bit out of character 😊

I think in this economic climate https://www.nme.com/news/music/21-uk-festivals-have-now-been-cancelled-postponed-or-scrapped-with-100-at-permanent-risk-without-action-3600756

And having had to replenish their reserves https://www.billboard.com/pro/glastonbury-festival-2019-financial-loss-covid-19/

It's an incredible achievement that they've not pulled back from their charity commitments https://www.nme.com/news/music/glastonbury-donated-record-breaking-3-7m-to-good-causes-in-2023-3559447

We know that there would be further outcry if they increased ticket prices to provide greater budget for acts who aren't prepared to compromise on their fee, so as I see it they're dancing on the head of a pin. 

I think with all that in mind, they've done a great job getting a nigh on gender split and a decent spread of acts, even at this comparatively early stage.
