Partly this, partly personal preference.

who do you think the Avalon headliners will be? I’ve actually never been to the Avalon but this years line up looks awesome.

I've deliberately kept Avalon off becasue I have no idea about that stage but I'm pretty sure The Hoosiers are confirmed to headline Saturday night. 

I saw The Damned were (self?) confirmed to be playing there on the Friday so I  maybe they're a headliner too

The damned would definitely make sense! If mcfly headline the Sunday too I can see myself spending a fair bit of time there this time round.

I presume this is a joke - or we could have the 4am Hell Stage slot?

 

I've seen them at that time before - they came on either with or at the end of Goldie's set. 

Bizarrely they were the first act I saw that year and also the last 😁

Really hoping we can manifest Big Thief -> The Avalanches -> Caribou on the Park

Don’t even think we have to manifest that one. As much as it hurts me because I wont be there, that run seems like a very good bet for the Saturday night.

Would do something like this:

Friday: Happy Mondays > Hobo Jones & The Junkyard Dogs > Yard Act > Crowded House > Editors > Blossoms > Wet Leg > Wolf Alice > Foals

Saturday if Arcade Fire: Nilufer Yanya > Porridge Radio > Dry Cleaning > Arcade Fire > Squid > Noel > Macca

Saturday if no Arcade Fire: Nilufer Yanya > Olivia Rodrigo > Black Midi > Squid > Noel > Macca

Sunday: Yves Tumor and its band > Rina Sawayama > Diana Ross > Holly Humberstone > Sam Fender > Bicep

I'd be tempted to swap Diana Ross with Turnstile and The 1975. I'd make the choice nearer the time. If it was Arcade Fire on Saturday, that would be one of the best line-up days in the history of the festival for me. Whether I bother to catch the end of sets e.g. Wolf Alice, will heavily depend on how hungry I am, how hot it is, how thirsty I am, and if I need to sit down and chill for a bit. It's great having a plan, and I'm usually a big planner when it comes to festival clash finders, but you have to be able to adapt to how your feeling on the day and the conditions you're in. Although saying that, if Arcade Fire are playing, I'm not missing them for the world.

I’d be shocked if The Avalanches are above Big Thief. I’d put the ‘Thief up as a Park headliner option if there weren’t so bloody many already about. 

I'd happily take Avalanches third down as would give me to plenty of time to see them and vet down to the Pyramid with no one worrying about getting a spot.

I’d put Confidence Man on a little later on Park, personally. Maybe JP. 

They’ve confirmed themselves for the Park. Fourth down seems about right to me, although the earlier the better would be ideal for me so I can avoid evening clashes. Tbh, they’re really not that big despite the heaps of praise they receive on here so maybe I’ll be in luck.
