So general commentary in my group (who like every genre you can imagine) is it's a very safe lineup overall and it appears that the festival is going more alternative, possibly straying from the really big commercial names aside headliners.

 

I thought the exact opposite

Just realised who the actual Saturday night Other headliner might be: Glass Animals.

I absolutely love Glass Animals and keep up with them a lot, but I cannot see it yet. They don't have the festival experience in the UK yet and have only just started headlining stuff in the UK. Would be massive if true though i hope it is as they deserve it

[FuzzyDunlop]

Overall, for me its a decent line up. Just nothing that I "must" see. Lot's that I'd like to though. Which means... clashes

Other than Diana Ross

What's the consensus about missing names from the 2020 poster? My gut is that if they were on that first poster and aren't on this one, they're not playing.

You mean like if there are a few which pop up later? Yeah, those chances went way down. If they had stayed on from 2020 this whole time they wouldve been there.

 

time to count how many carried over

Looks like the normal mixed response to the line-up that we get every time

For me, a year without seeing a Pyramid headliner is no bad thing, here's as many others on there of interest as normal

100% and it will be awesome as it is every year!!! 🙂

[BlackZeppelin]

Nightmares on Wax!!

[Hotchilidog]

In the absence of Taylor, seeing Phoebe there has put a huge spring in my step this morning. Absolutely delighted, my one true clash-busting artist on the line up. It really is a belter of a first announcement, plenty to get excited about on first viewing and I shall start the digging on the unfamiliar now. EXCITED!!!!!!!

Fair play. It would be speculative but not out the question when you think of acts over the years who have got that early elevation.

Think they'll be subbing Other at a minimum. John Peel would be at Streets danger levels if they were headlining on Sunday against Kendrick and PSB.

I think Other sub would be a good slot or maybe headlining the Park/WH?

Their Reading/Leeds slot I would say suggests maybe not Other headline - although they have just hit #1 in the US too. Ridiculous slow burn for Heat Waves, the longest ever infact -  its pretty awesome

Could be one of the acts Emily was alluding to as a modest 2020 booking who have become huge in the interim.

British band, of the moment, have been booked for the Other before...feels more likely to me than a punt on Doja Cat, who is statistically massive worldwide but unproven for a UK fest/Glasto audience.

Yeah, could see it in an alt-J kinda way. 

[FloorFiller]

Glass Animals aren’t gonna headline Other. Like third down or possibly John Peel headliner imo. 

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

Glass Animals sub Other, headline JP (the stage they were on in 2020) or like 4/5 down Pymild.

[Greenelk]

Loads of great stuff, and I'm flicking through the artists I don't know much about, and adding to me list that I might see.

My wife says the facebook groups are a dumpster of people moaning.  Try actually listening to the bands first?  So many genres represented on that line up, very happy!

Yeah I totally get that, but after years of watching some cracking Pyramid headliner sets on TV and wishing I was there, and then finally getting tickets for the first time you sort of think the odds of getting at least one you like are pretty good.

Every other Glasto for the last 10 years there has been at least one if not 2 I would have been right into, and then the year I get to go has none.  After waiting so long for the Poster drop it just feels a bit disappointing for me.

The thing is for your first time pretty much any Pyramid headliner can be special, it’s a spectacle in its own right. My first was Florence, I was always totally ambivalent towards her but was totally blown away by the whole thing and have loved her ever since, but it’s was purely because of the Glastonbury Pyramid headliner moment, and with it being my first it being special. 
 

I’m also not a huge Radiohead (ducks) or Coldplay fan, but loved both of their sets.

I'm exactly the same. Some huge names. Just not many within my sphere...at the moment. Come June 22nd when those gates open, I'll be still trying to decide between some killer clashes.

The initial poster has always been slightly underwhelming for me, probably because of the ridiculous build-up. Maybe because we pretty much guess 95% of it during that time. I'm all about the rogue announcements, the specific areas, etc. That's when I peak.

And let's not forget the absolute coup of securing Kendrick when (almost) every other major festival either couldn't get him or said he wasn't touring. 

[AlexOvd]

2020 was already good, but the new names added for 2022 are basically among my favourite bands: Idles, Wolf Alice, Foals, Lorde... (and keeping Kendrick in, as I was not interested in Taylor).

Superb work and I have the feeling as per Emily tweet that we will still have more things to come.

Just Flo as a secret set and I am done!

I never understand this people seem to want to like every name on the line up when in actual fact that scenario would be a nightmare. If you like a quarter of that line up your weekend is already sorted. Given how much has still not been released and the troubling times (both covid and serious war) they have pulled it out of the bag. 

[dentalplan]

Can they hurry up and announce the times please?

[Fingerbobs]

Was all set to do some work on the train but a quick glance at the Guardian where I saw it had landed (came straight here to peruse the acts) saw a quick end to that. A whopping 18 solid acts there for me which is more than I usually get on the final drop. A big ol' Macca thumbs up from me.

Yeah I think Other sub. Supergrass and Years & Years seem obvious for two of our Other subs, Glass Animals seem a decent shout for the third one. Glass Animals into Doja Cat on Saturday night seems reasonable while Noel and Macca are on the Pymild.

[the wonderwhy]

Good linep. Not the best by a longshot but still solid. Very happy to have r Pheebs, Mitski and St Vinny on board. When are these losers ever going to book freakin Beach House tho? 

[Matt42]

This is my hope, either that or a slot on the Other.

With the Doja talk, she sub headlining Coachella. This is a massive get for Glastonbury, as much as we laughed at Matt for going on about it, my main thing of her not being there was her size vs the audience of Glastonbury. But they got her. 

[jparx]

Just got quite emotional reading the BBCs piece on this with a heavy focus on Macca, a week after his 80th. Absolutely massive to have him back, it’s going to be unbelievable.
