I'd like to hope it would be a 'Best Of' from across the last 20 years.    For me that would be any from a dream list of:   Phosphorescent Midlake Band of Horses Gra

As in previous years, I've compiled a big playlist for this, covering the whole lineup with the songs each act has performed most over the past year or so (so far as possible). I'll share it here in case anyone finds it useful:

 

 

(And I'd had the foresight to include Geese even before today's announcement!)

Ah brilliant, cheers! I was thinking of asking if you could highlight the confirmed ones but then I thought it would be too much hassle. It's looking fairly close now isn't it... still wouldn't be surprised if Mac Demarco and CMAT are the other way round though.

Personal Trainer start a UK tour on 6 Sept and have featured a few times. They were kind of there last year in the form of Long Fling (a great set in the Tipi). I could see them being a secret set in the Tipi again. I don’t remember the Bollox new name for the Tipi and never will.

It should forever be the Tipi.

 

Just as the news about Geese was shared on Twitter.

TVOD are playing Blue Basement in London 2/9 with a complete EOTR/Psych Fest shaped hole before their next gig in Lyon on 8/9. Well received in the Big Top last year, reckon they're nailed on for a secret set in the Tipi.

I have visions of Garden Stage being rammed for AdP to the same level as Fleet Foxes dimensions 

(for those of you who weren't there it was the last no-Woods stage festival and the Garden Stage was "closed" rammed)

He's still got the whole festival period on his tour dates list. The 4th is given as the Mac's Record Label showcase, which was separately announced for that date (obviously it's unlikely Mac would be on a different date to his own project)

They'll surely put AdP on Woods. They are aware of the off the scale level of hype.

 

I had AdP third down on Woods but Lucinda Williams pulling out and her de facto replacement playing a different day mixed things up, coupled with Ty Segall playing Garden solo last year.

AdP are just a novelty act and as such should barely be headlining The Folly let alone Garden or Woods. 

Discuss... 

If a band has enormous demand you don't put it on a stage too small to contain the people that want to see them, it simply boils down to that!

Personal preference is irrelevant. With that level of hype, the only slot that makes sense crowd management-wise is Woods headline. 

 

They were shifted late on just before The Great Escape from Thurs to Weds. A bunch of people on day tickets missed out, but even factoring that in TGE still had to close off their big tent with PLENTY of time before the set starting. 

 

That kind of music doesn't translate well for me for spaces bigger than the Tipi but that's just my own preference.

This.

That said they're playing the festival on the Friday and need to play Manchester Psych Fest the next day. 

 

Could they play late at night and still make it comfortably in time...hmmm

It's been pointed out to me that Just Mustard have issued a new graphic with all their summer dates including the Saturday of EOTR, where I had them down for Friday. I can see AdP subbing or third down Woods in that case, but then (and remembering we lost one potential name in Lucinda Williams) that leaves a gap for a good Garden headliner...

2 really good albums IMO. Fun, really good musicians, energetic, can dance to it. 

 

I'd take that over the couple of dozen twee ernest singer songwriter 2 chord dross acts on the bill most years.

I have visions of going nowhere near AdP during their set......

      2027 Headliners

      By smiffy98 · Posted

      I don’t think the festival automatically ‘need’ to have a female headliner if you have strong female headliners on the Other Stage (which I reckon will be Rosalia and Phoebe Bridgers), perhaps a female legend (praying for Annie, will take Cher), and a few female/mix gendered subs on the Pyramid (maybe London Grammar, The xx). From what I’ve seen of Sabrina, her team prioritises the pay day and I think she will be doing Wembley over Glasto weekend.   One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of the suggestions would be first time headliners and I can’t work out when the last time was that the festival had three artists top the bill that hadn’t topped it before? It seems to be something they like to do to make sure they have a ‘safe’ headliner that will land well with the masses. Plenty of names in that hat that could step back up next summer and should/could be about: Billie Eilish, Adele, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Radiohead, U2…hell, if Beyoncé is really planning to release a ‘rock n roll’ album to complete her Renaissance trilogy, Glastonbury would be a great place to ‘kick off’ that campaign for her.   And there’s always the Rihanna rumour. Her husband (I think) said this week she’s in the studio.
