Acts Touring around Glastonbury 2023

[Guy Incognito]

[Hugh Jass]

From the top lines I'd say Wolf Alice, St Vincent, Royal Blood, Editors, Sigrid all likely.

Then of course there is the looming spectre of Alt-J taking an inexplicably high position somewhere on the bill.

[Gnomicide]

Good to see Hobo Jones get a high placing.

[Matt42]

What’s going on with that Thursday. Originally they had three artists billed there now it’s scratched all three out.

Five more headliners to be announced there.

alt-J are a strange one, I don't see them being booked for Other headliner again given they seemed to pull in a pretty small crowd. They won't move up to Pyramid sub now and they've already done 3rd down Pyramid, where they just seemed a bit out of place. I don't think we need to worry about them being booked anytime soon. 

In terms of Glastonbury 2020 acts who were meant to play Mad Cool in 2020/2021, there's no no London Grammar, Haim, Sam Fender, Waxahatchee, Cage the Elephant, Charli XCX, Anderson Paak or Tones and I from 2020 and no Glass Animals or Angel Olsen from 2021 on that Mad Cool lineup. Most of those have other upcoming dates so will possibly be around anyway but worth keeping an eye on.

Give it a few years and they will headline JP I think.

I recall him saying around that time that he was bored of not touring. That he didn't wanna be an old man sat at home with his hobbies.

Nah he definitely hinted about packing it in, eg https://www.spin.com/2016/02/iggy-pop-post-pop-depression-last-album-apple-music-interview-tour/

But glad he changed his mind.

New acts (to me) this lineup confirms are Europe touring near Glasto dates that were on the Glastonbury 2020 poster are The Editors, Phoebe Bridgers, and Warmduscher. 

Charli XCX is at Primavera which in my mind confirms her for Glasto 22. Sam Fender I'm also assuming is back because he has rescheduled dates opening for The Killers in London and Dublin near enough Glasto for me to assume he's back.

The War On Drugs being about is an interesting one. Remember a few touting them as potential subs at one point.

Weird, he's released an album since then and even played supporting QOTSA at Finsbury Park since then. Guess his instincts were off!

Seems touring that album reinvigorated him

New record for most sparsely attended sub slot?

[FloorFiller]

I don’t think the wait between albums has done TWOD any favours so I think Pyramid sub is out of the question (if it wasn’t already). Other sub or third/fourth down Pyramid seems more realistic.

[Suprefan]

So now what. Imagine Dragons threat as an Other Stage headliner?

Nah I think they’re a headliner or nothing these days (for some reason) so think we’re pretty safe from them ever playing again.

Fortunately theyll be on a lot of north american line ups that I wont be attending.

Genuinely who listens to imagine dragons in 2021. Man children? People who peaked in school?

I quite like one of their songs and have it on my running playlist.... just checked and it's nine years old!

Christ.
