I bet that he was not the first choice, since they could have announced him early. And I think he is co-headlining with something like Pulp or Justice.

Glastonbury is clearly becoming a victim of its own size.. so many people are booked in a slot above where they would’ve been 10 years ago, sometimes even two slots.
A lot of it down to costs and the climate following COVID.
But it’s only going to get worse, in the next 10-15 years everyone is going to get their 15 minutes of TikTok fame and that is how people will discover artists and decide who the next big act is. It’s also why we’re getting shite like Sophie Ellis Bexter on the pyramid, anything with nostalgia or a viral undertone is an easy win with the youth. In 2035 we’ll be looking back and longing for these days, enjoy them 😢
