I am hoping this is a Kendrick breakthrough but at the same time they could just be sharing someone like Tyler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it'll likely be a coincidence. Off the top of my head, both EOTR and Camp Bestival are announcing on the 25th as well.. It's a sensible date - the dust has settled from Christmas and it's a few days before January pay day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt42 Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Looks like we are due quite a few announcements in the next few weeks. Gov Ball in the US, EU festivals such as TW Classic, Open’er, RW/Rosklide (expanding their lineup), Templehof too. Also Parklife announcing on the 25th. Discussions here are going to get very healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily to change any plans but it'll help broadly shape them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been heading in that direction anyway and he will be aware of the value of the BBC coverage. It’s such a vast event that there’s plenty scope and stages to continue booking less commercial bands . Hopefully he remembers it’s the Glastonbury festival of contemporary performing arts, not just a succession of commercially attractive acts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think this means we'll end up seeing McFly at the Pyramid? Asking for a friend of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 4 hours ago, Ayrshire Chris said: The Glastonbury attitude to other festival announcements I disagree, I suspect the Eavii are quite happy not to take focus from other festivals. Ultimately Glastonbury isn’t really competing with other festivals, they don’t sell tickets at the same time as others and certainly don’t need a lineup announcement to shift tickets the same way others do. I honestly think they’re careful not to step on the toes of others, especially the smaller ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there’s a degree of competition between the other larger festivals and their announcements, especially headliners are crucial in selling tickets. Glastonbury is totally different, unique, a complete sellout before anything announced and a delightful quirky way of teasing us with the line up. You’re probably right about the smaller festivals, most of the time they will have announced their full line ups before our poster drop.

stuartbert two hats Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 I don't see any reason why Melvin Benn should have any more influence in the programming of the festival now than he did in the naughties. IMHO, he's there for his compliance and logistics expertise, just like last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
