Sad to see hes omitted Sgt Peppers from the setlist, but its still a glorious offering.

Love when he adds the reprise into the encore.

Still undecided on McCartney. Saw him in 2011 in the gods, and it was ok - wasn't the most memorable gig. There's only a couple of songs in the current setlist that inspire a real 'yeah, I want to be there for that' moment. If he bust out something like Tomorrow Never Knows, For No One, or She's So Heavy I would be there with bells on. I watched the documentary recently to try and get some juices flowing, but that didn't do much for me. 

Considering arriving for the second half of the set, but that would probably mean missing 1985. I guess I'll see what the alternatives are on the day.

For No One is a weird omission alright.

This might have been asked but are we likely to see the setlist tweaked for a festival crowd at all, and what could change if it was?

I don't think it'll change much - his setlist has stayed much the same for a long time. If anything it'll be 4 or 5 songs shorter than his own shows, but with the chance of something out of the ordinary - special guests, or a one-off performance of something like Mull of Kintyre.

Mull of Kintyre would be a showstopper- just the right level of daftness but with a singalong hook you could catch a blue whale with.  An 'I was there' moment.....

'The Long and Winding Road' would be nice.

Amazing really that a song that sat at #1 in the UK singles chart for 9 weeks, was the UK's biggest selling single until Band Aid, and remains the UK's biggest selling non-charity single, is so rarely performed live.

Big production needed!

Probably cos punk arrived right around the same time it was released and it immediately became a bit of a punchline.

Or cos it needs bagpipes.

I saw him do it in Liverpool after previously being a sceptic about the song but it was great. At Glastonbury it would be incredible. Getting emosh just thinking about it.

Fuck bagpipes.  Sound like an adenoidal cat drowning.  Hate them.

Macca will be performing on June 25th - exactly 6 months before Christmas.

Feels like the perfect opportunity to bust out Wonderful Christmas Time.

Think I'd break down and be unable to take part in Sunday.

 I think the only tweaks will be depending on what/if any guests he has during the set.

I know it's one of his insipid songs, but should he do it at Glasto, the moment the pipers come out and join in there'll be carnage as grown men break down in tears. Some are welling up right now, just thinking about it.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Will be a clothing optional moment.

[admscott]

Fingers crossed he gets rid of Fuh You.

To be fair, I started singing it when I made that post and haven't stopped since.  It must have something going for it.
