The National

[scaryclaireyfairy]

Adele had a 1h15 set up time last year.  So sadly this looks legit.  An absolute shocker of a slot.

Been changed to am hour now

 

Still not enough for a great band that high up. 

 

We've been shafted for an extended foo's set then.   

 

Won't be watching their meat and potatoes stuff

[brendan84]

Got Hammersmith tickets but still wanted a lengthy prime glasto spot!!

[admscott]

That's gotta be amended to 20.45 or even 21.00, surely!? Unless they genuinely sacrificed the amount they can play for a big placement on the biggest stage? Can't see it though.

Extension would make my palms sweaty for getting to Father John Misty though.

I'll take an hour - that's less of an insult to the band.

I am mildly annoyed that The XX and The National get 1hr, while Shouty Shirtless McSweatyson gets 75mins on Sunday, but fuck it, at least it probably means more chance of #bangerz to keep the crowd interested.

[Gucci Piggy]

Reckon I'm gonna sack Stormzy off then. Would miss the first half of his set anyway thanks to these boys.

Full National and FJM sets is probably a better deal than seeing half a Stormzy set having missed half the bangers at the start.

[russycarps]

gosh what a turd of a slot.

 

[Hugh Jass]

I was actually happy with a 45 minute slot, meant I could catch the vast majority of Solange too.

Yeah... sadly our Other optimism did not pay off.

A bit of me is almost tempted to sack it off with the Hammersmith gig booked and DJ Shadow clashing, but... it'd be the third time I missed The National at Glastonbury.

I'm glad I booked tickets for Manchester to be honest. I'll be there with bells on, but it really is an awful slot for them.

[Morse Code]

Not sure if this has been mentioned but a short(ish) set time and 10 year anniversary of Boxer, could they play the album in full??

With a new album about to drop? Not a chance.

[mario man]

a lot of disappointment on here but, ignoring what's on before and after, it's a superb spot for them - subbing the pyramid at glasto after all!

An hour is ok, and I'm gonna be front and central going bananas

With that shitty slot, The National need you (and anyone else that's actually heard of them)!

Maybe. It just won't show them in their best light, though. I'll probably be there, just a bit less excited now.

[Gucci Piggy]

Reckon they'll be okay, I bet they actually have a not too bad crossover with Foos. Last time I saw them was subbing Green Day and they were fine. Time before that they were on at Leeds before The Strokes and Pulp; crowd was awful but they were still great.

[When Jokers Attack]

See you all down the front 

[zeppelin]

With tickets to Manchester and Hammersmith I'm worried that I'll end up engrossed by the avalanches set and miss the start 

[Guy Incognito]

yeah having a ticket for one of the London shows is saving me from a tough decision here. Even though seeing them on the Pyramid is a dream, I can't see myself leaving West Holts for most, if not all of Saturday.

When they played Reading the crowd really didn't get them. They even made a joke about an inflatable Alligator in the crowd and said 'You don't know what that means, do you?'

[Jsmooth]

Had feared this slot, lets hope some people waiting for the foos don't talk through the set.

[Amy Lawn]

They've been mugged right off with that slot, pisstake. My favourite band on the line-up and I'm going to have to miss it. Got to see that Solange full set; realistically I'd get half at best if I went The National. Feels a bit of kick in the balls when there's no good Friday headliner options.
