Was it 2020 when McCartney had a handful of European dates as well? Swear I remember planning a trip to Italy (Naples?) and it fell through. 

Freshen up tour. Short run of shows.

I’m totally expecting now one of Macca or Kendrick to let it slip in the next few days and that provokes an announcement. It’s the glasto way. 

No better way to grab the headlines than a “did they just confirm themselves for Glastonbury?” moment. I’m convinced it’s how Glastonbury likes to market itself.

He had some dates in France, Lyon springs to mind?

What’s the latest with these production trucks on the site anyway? If it’s anything other than an extravagant announcement of McCartney I’ll be refunding my ticket.

Someone said they thought it was the production site for something being filmed in Shelton mallet prison.

Apparently it’s likely to be something to do with a documentary being filmed at a local prison 🤷🏻‍♂️ 
Unless there is more recent info than when I read that (on here) this afternoon.

Any info on who's playing the icon stage this year. Orbital would be insane.

 

Bicep Live would be awesome too.

Now that would bring the crowd. 3 years ago they filled gas tower at 2am, they've only grown since then. 

Regularly selling at 6k venues, 10k sell out Manchester. Iicon might actually be too small for them now.

They are expected for one of the main stages not night time - likely WH headline. They can’t do Live at a late night one, it needs the show stuff

Whilst I'm sure you're probably right on this, some of the names suggested for Arcadia will need strong competition to split the crowds for those slots.   I guess they could just pop on down to the big head stage after West Holts.

They could def be lined up to DJ on iicon but no way they’re doing their live show on it, as gfa says

[kalifire]

It feels like an announcement could be made any day now.

Confirming Kendrick or Macca, with the full poster to drop  1st March when balance payments open?

Any further update on what they're filming over on the farm?

True, I guess put the big acts as late as possible so most people have dipped and it should be alright

I believe it was just a production base camp for filming in Shepton, unrelated to the festival.

Crazy to think that in two/three weeks we will have the balance paid and the poster!
