That Mansun set sounds pretty extraordinarily chaotic, like it would have to be seen to be believed.

Everyone walked away and they were left playing to a wide open space…

Stargreen was always a go-to for me. Not many people seemed to know them but they were legit and would always sort me out. Used to sing their praises to others but no one else seemed to trust them!

Yeah they were great, always seemed to have the good events and cheaper booking fees than most iirc. They had that cool little booth on Argyll St where you could go and pick up your tickets (back when they were all paper- seems so retro, ha).

Same here - used to love going into their shop on Argyll St to see what they had, and always very helpful on the phone. Their website was a great source of info too, shame they went under

Shakey sliced his figer open cutting a sandwich and cancelled the tour.

I like how that opening paragraph says "many music fans". Quite the dismissal of The Darkness when they are, ya know, musical. Much as it's quite something Muse were big enough to headline Glastonbury in 2004 but not big enough to do T in the Park's main one. Maybe if it had been a 3 day event back then.

I went to see The Darkness...

Yeah, I was there. Only time I’d ever had a ticket to see Bowie. Still hurts to this day. I enjoyed the Darkness, but not exactly in the same league.

TITP has all kinds of weird placement choices, I wouldn't read much into it

It was T in the Park's way. Shame it stopped being a thing really as it used to be quite the well covered festival with lots of sets online. But I think we're by the by with it no longer being a thing now.

[Ayrshire Chris]

Don’t know if he’s touring next summer but Redcar, AKA  Christine and the queens sounded really good on Jools tonight.  Been a fan since seeing the performance on the other in the mud of 2016. 

[sisco]

So another user here has said they saw a leak of the IOW lineup and it has Pulp, Ezra, Chems and Robbie Williams as headliners.  He also say Nial Horan and Blondie before It was removed.

Wonder at what point we have to start ruling Pulp / Ezra out? Do you think we'll get both as subs because it would be a bit boring it has to be said. Ezra then Pulp secret set would be nice as it frees up a big slot. Chems back for their DJ set too i think

I’m ruling Ezra out on the basis I don’t want him there 😀

[CaledonianGonzo]

As noted yesterday, he's played the last 3 festivals and also did the livestream. He's due a spell on the subs bench.

[gfa]

I didn't realise Ezra has done the last 3 fests that ran, surely he can be skipped!

If nothing else his UK touring commitments look extensive enough that he almost doesn't need Glastonbury this time around.

[Hugh Jass II]

Yeah Ezra won’t be there next year.

Lewis capaldi is clearly going to be the solo male pyramid sub next year.

Paolo Nutini? Could defo see him playing and sub seems an obvious choice imo. Played that secret set last year too.

[Muppetmark]

[finn_with_1_n]

surely a lock for a high profile set on the farm. also Ally Pally describes their show as part of a summer series at the park, guessing an extension to the Primal Scream and Kaleidoscope events of this year

[jannybruck]

Bridlington getting all these high profile gigs all of a sudden is hilarious. Good for them.
