Friday Headliner Poll

[SouthbanKen]

Because no one else has yet… 

[devonhammer]

We should organise a cricket match for the Pyramid Stage field. There's enough space.

[Quark]

Based on current thinking I might get to catch the start of Ash or Maribou State, but I'll be hotfooting it over to Croissant Neuf

[The_Fish]

I selected Ash but I'm concerned how busy it will be there. 

[smogo]

It's looking like Fatboy Slim at Lonely Hearts Club for me.

I’m hoping FBS is on after Ash. 

[Crazyfool01]

No idea yet … might wander and see what crops up following recommendation from @Supernintendo Chalmers

[CantWaitForGlasto22]

Still hoping Fratellis might be headliner not Ash so I can go Ash>Maribou State. But otherwise, Ash.

SE Corner will be ultra rammed by 10pm Friday it seems. 

[Respectfatfrog]

will be doing something I haven't done before exploring the site and circus field at night. Worst night of the festival for me but pleased to have an chance to wonder without feeling guilt about missing someone. 

[Twiggy553]

My best mate is on Arcadia so missing headliners to go there for 10pm 🥳 🎉  (luckily Friday is the weakest night for me so don’t feel torn)

I have nothing planned for the Friday night. Where should one with free time consider going during the headliner slot? 
 

Last year was my first Glasto, so I’ve not done much other than hop between the main stages so far, and I want to see more of what there is to offer

[Littlechef87]

I really want to catch Loyle Carner but I am also acutely aware that I am going to be heavily medicated *ahem* for Floating Points and the mood may just take me to stay at Four Tet or float on down to SE Corner...

Depends on what floats your boat.  You could get into the SE Corner early before the crowds if the dancier side is your thing.  Wander up into the Green Futures fields and see what's happening on the smaller stages up there, usually some folky or acoustic type stuff going on.  Catch some standup in the Cabaret tent (that was my alternative to a Saturday headliner in 2023) or wander into the circus big top.  Go up to the Crows Nest at the back of the Park for the view, and often some bands squeezed in up there. World is your oyster!

Floating Points into Four Tet

I'll probably be at The 1975 although I also want to see Ani DiFranco. Haven't made my mind up yet.

[Ayrshire Chris]

Somewhere else are a brilliant band, very underrated. Obviously the popular choice here😉😊

Thanks! I appreciate that there is a breadth of options and it is dependant on what I like, it's just good to hear the opinions of people who might have already had the chance 🙂

[bobsacamano]

Really hope this is the night I'm on shift. If not I'm dropping a gary and heading to floating points/four tet.

[circus92]

Love how Glasto is such a different experience for everyone!  General feeling on here is that Friday night is a bit of a wasteland, and yet for me this has the makings of being the best night yet in 4 festivals.

 

Alanis > Biffy > 1975 is an unbelievable run for me.  All acts that I would pay to go to see anyway and yet I am going to get to see them one after the other on the Pyramid!  Puts the ticket price right into context right there

Gotcha!

 

So for me personally, I'd probably either tag along with my friends if I'm happy to be led with no better options, or head into Green Futures / Croissant Neuf / Theatre & Circus. Those tend to be the ones that are more likely to entertain me at that sort of time.  T&C can be great fun as you've got weird stuff happening at Sensation Seekers, and like I said I had a great time watching some standup comedy instead of Guns n Roses.

 

The other thing I've done if I've got an eye on something specific I want to be aiming for post-headliner is to take the chance to get some food, wander back to my tent and get my hoody, some booze and a few other bits and pieces so I've got all the stuff I want and can head to wherever I want to be while avoiding the crush

I get the feeling that every night is your best night yet mate 😂

[wairey]

Biffy into 1975 is an all-timer for me, can't wait!

This was my plan until Self Esteem was confirmed subbing the Park. So now I'm a bit split between booting it up to Woodsies afterwards for Four Tet or do the shorter walk to Ash and hope I can get in the tent.

 

Will probably end up deciding on the day.

[GlastoBatch2025]

Ash or somewhere else or a little bit of The 1975.
