The main surprise from that article for me is Glass Animals being mentioned in an article from 2018. Genuinely thought they didn’t become well known until 2-3 years ago when Heat Waves went massive

Edit: it's been debunked. JT has exclusive Spanish date elsewhere 

Think I heard it's on the Plaza de Espana in Seville? Which caught me a little by surprise given I went there and didn't realise it was a venue for gigs, although watching YouTube of Green Day and Take That playing it proved me wrong.

I was there and I definitely recall being on a train back from IFEMA to the city centre after the festival full of these Scottish blokes who'd been waiting for Massive Attack only for them to never turn up going "f**k Massive Attack bunch of w*nkers and posh c**ts" for pretty much the whole train ride.

 

Take it they weren't impressed by saying the sound bleed issue from Franz Ferdinand was too much. Not that I was there for it given I had been at Franz and was amused by Alex Kapranos instigating an invasion of the VIP block out front.

 

So it's also there, I went in to that stage for Goat Girl and there was a little sound crossover but not the worst I've ever heard.

That Franz Ferdinand gig was great. Almost broke my neck trying to jump the VIP barrier after several jugs of Mahou

Calling Massive Attack is posh is amusing, given they came from the streets and have dedicated their career to being anti-institutional activists.

Massive Attack embody the term liberal elite... Great band whose political leanings I tend to agree with, but they're definitely not "street" Hahaha

If that was the case they would have anticipated or teased the announcement  more than two hours in advance

 

This seems rushed, wouldn't expect much

I think I am inclined to agree but MC have a habit of being the worst communicators possibly in the festival world, wouldn't surprise me have they end up having the best line up of the Summer next year. Equally, it wouldn't surprise me if they've been scrabbling around trying to cobble a line up together and scraping over the line. 

 

They can only book what is around though, be interesting to see what they have managed to secure. I think they probably likely had Foo Fighters and have been scrambling round for a replacement since. Think ORod seem nailed on, probably KoL too.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
