I've often said on another branch of this forum that I'd be right up for it if Glastonbury didn't release a line-up or poster and the first you know about any of it was when you opened your programme as you get through the gate There's a small festival in Spain near the border with Portugal that takes place on an island in the Vigo estuary, and I believe you go out by boat to the island each day not knowing who is going to be playing. Its called Festival Sinsal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I look back at those first couple of line-ups now and I'm like omg, all these great bands were there and I didn't see them because I didn't know about them. (And because the cloth-eared people I was with failed to give me the right recommendations.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mardy Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 New tent bought. No turning back now. This is really going to happen, eh? Going to get stuck into the playlist today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) At the risk of jinxing it, there was a very significant chance this festival was going to get cancelled and now with a mere three weeks to go, we’re past the point of no return both in that the organisers have committed and the govt can’t do a u-turn (for once). Game on! Edited August 11, 2021 by xxialac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasshousebill Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Couple of thoughts... Is it too soon to look at the weather? It all starts three weeks tomorrow!

It all starts three weeks tomorrow Wednesday 25 Aug - Wednesday 8 Sep Confidence is very low through this period. There are signs that the UK will continue to be under the influence of high pressure with settled weather more likely in the south. However, some spells of heavy rain and thunderstorms are possible at times. The north of the UK will probably remain changeable and often unsettled. Temperatures are likely to be overall near or slightly above average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulwa Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 While listening to the EOTR playlist, I did a bit of searching for who's playing on which date. These are some that have announced a specific date instead of being vague or showing nothing: Friday 3rd Warmduscher Vanishing Twin Sunday 5th Little Simz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Incognito Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 I wonder if Warmduscher will try incite a riot like they did in 2018. If any bands pull out, I'd like to see Legss added to this line up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Really only going deep into the lineup now. Shirley Collins is a bit of a coup! 86 years young. New stuff is lovely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 I wonder if Wet Leg will do a secret gig as the buzz band of the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely one of my tips for a late night Tipi slot too. Who else do you reckon? I'll go with Wet Leg, Alabaster Deplume and/or Soccer96 and Martha Skye Murphy for acts which aren't on the bill. (Maybe The Orielles, Jockstrap, Porridge Radio, Working Mens Club, Do Nothing or Goat Girl if they're going for anyone more established.) Extra sets from those already on the bill, I'll go Modern Woman or The Golden Dregs as they're the two bands on their own label. Maybe PVA, Yard Act? What about the traditional Sunday mash up? BC,NR and Squid would be outrageous! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good knowledge! On a broader note, do they still appear to be applying the 'can't play twice in a row' rule with the exceptional circumstances?

Guy Incognito Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Nah there's lots who played 2019 on this year's line up which is fine with me but I just can't see them booking acts to play twice, twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New stuff is lovely. Have you seen the documentary about her from the other year? The Ballad of Shirley Collins - worth a watch. Also, there's a belting NPR tiny desk concert. I'll be honest, I'm genuinely surprised she's not one of the acts that have dropped out. Won't believe she's there till she walks out on stage. Stewart Lee's a huge fan of hers, wonder if we'll get him on the comedy lineup as a result? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snipe Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Calling it now... she's going to roll out in one of those balls like Wayne Coyne in The Flaming Lips. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killyourtv Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Can someone please reassure me I haven't missed any info. about any Covid policies ? I had the ticket emailed at the end of the month with that reference to an announcement but nothing since. Is EOTR affected by any Covid rules on size. So hard keeping up, but at least it's going ahead. Isn't it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
