Not sure. In normal years they'd add the Tipi Late Junction stuff (one of the highlights of the festival) but its normally international acts so might be unlikely this time.

I'd say we can expect more late cancellations than usual but also those might end up being replaced quite favourably (by e.g. a European based band doing deciding to tour after all).

Am a little surprised at no black midi or Murder Capital

Any bets on acoustic sets?

Jonny Greenwood and John Grant please!!

I'm not sure Jonny has ever done a solo acoustic set (I may be wrong). He has done it plenty of times with Thom, but I don't think anyone would ever expect him to turn up too so I'd say seeing Jonny in that capacity would be very unlikely.

Of course, who knows what Jonny has in the pipeline for his solo work...he's a very talented and versatile musician.

There are a lot of good acts that could step in for cancellations.

Looks like Green Man still have Murder Capital, Black Midi and Kokoroko on their lineup as 'exclusive'.

Ahh thank you. Suprised to see Tropical fuck storm on there .

The Pixies not playing is a bit sad for me, since they were the stand out band at my first ever off-island festival. So it would be nice if they were at my first off-Island festival of the return.

However, Stereolab I probably love more and were ace in 2019  so that's a slight upgrade.

After that I'm not gutted by any removal. Bright Eyes would be nice to see but how many chances am I going to get to see Shirley Collins?

How do we think Sleaford Mods will step up from playing tent stages, to headlining the mainstage at a festival? Lights? Dancing Girls?

I'm curious about this too. I mean im all for bumping acts up, but I just cant really picture them doing a festival headline slot justice.

They headlined Hamnersmith. 
Be no issues.

I agree with you. They're not really cut out to headline a festival.

Plus I'd quite enjoy listening to a few songs but 90 minutes of them would absolutely do my head in.

If you can't distinguish between moaning and commentary, that's on you.

I actually said I would enjoy listening to a few of their songs...

Exactly. Last thing we want after a pandemic is some angry man shouting at us

[The Nal]

Sleaford Mods nailed The Park stage at Glastonbury in 2017 no bother. Thats not much smaller than the Woods. I think it might actually be the same stage?

Its EOTR though there'll be someone good on somewhere else if they're not you're thing.

[Guy Incognito]

Personally I find the whole ''proper headline set'' thing well boring. A band doesn't need pyro or whatever to be a worthy headliner. It functions as such a limiting factor in who people seem to think can be headliners or not. Sure it's nice to see a proper ''event' as a headline set but not everyone is Beyonce.
