Following the link just takes you to buy the album, but the copyright is updated to 2023. I think this is a simple lampoon.

Reckon at least 2 of the 3 end up on seat filling sites.

On Sting as well, apart from Weller, he is by far the biggest act to play the Forest Shows and a majority of them have accepted slots 3rd and lower. Personally, even if he wants a sub, give it to him mixing it up a bit.

I was just considering the 'established' acts that do the Forest gigs include Weller and Elbow are at best sub acts, though Elbow were third down in 22. I'd put Sting third down.

I don't think at all it's a case of Sting has to play the Legend slot and he couldn't play a slot that's been used similarly but not the same height Saturday. If the bloke is willing to do Forest Shows, he doesn't consider his ego that high. If he is offered 1hr 15 Saturday evening, it's not an ego slot. 

Elbow are nowhere near a sub act surely these days.

Has anyone talked about the PJ Harvey Gunnersbury Park show with Big Thief supporting?

Polly Jean and Big Thief is a pretty epic billing. Will try for a ticket maybe nearer the time. 
Reckon EOTR / Green Man might get one or both of those.

So I guess we'll keep an eye out on Thursday for their 2024 plans and if it includes UK/EU shows.

Somebody said Rock Am Ring Festival in Germany is planning to make its first announcement on Thursday so... could be connected.

Saw them in Oxford last week and was mighty impressed. So guess I'm keeping an eye out.

Seen them once, 2010. Feel it's overdue so very much up for this tour

Was surprised they weren’t on the bill last year. Reckon they’ll be nailed on this year. Earlier set at The Park would be brilliant

I don't think she did a lot in the summer tbf - did 2 small shows then opened for label-mates 1975 at Finsbury, and that was kinda it.

The setlist.fm history page hints that Japanese House has never actually done Glastonbury. I don't know if that's 100% true, so, maybe the time has come for such a visit.

Tuesday is for Springsteen so they say on several forums now. Was also mentioned here a few days ago.

Fair play, that's a really cool way to "sell" your 30th anniversary gigs, hyping up the city rather than the shows themselves. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Fresh dates for Echo and the Bunnymen.
