That's proper wild. They never get anyone like that usually.

It's an 'exclusive north of England show' so they're playing somewhere down south around that time I guess.

BUT WHEEEEREE?

Would say APE again but that’s moved to August right?

Other than that, surely can only be Latitude?

[FloorFiller]

Or BST again?

I wouldn't be surprised by BST again. I know they did pretty shit at shifting tickets last time but they sold out All Points East and, well, they have worse ticket-shifters there next year.

edit: beat me to it but yeah

45 quid for Strokes/Fontaines too, which is pretty darn reasonable.

That main stage set up can fuck right off though…

I know the acts they usually have say it all... but THAT is an abomination.

[Andre91]

The Strokes!? What time would they be on, do we reckon? 9pm? Because I finish work at 2:45pm on Fridays and it says it’s a 2 hour journey but Friday traffic…

Looks like Young Father's are active the week after Glastonbury playing in France, supporting Massive Attack

This is great news, hopefully we'll get new music from then next year too. They're a brilliant live band so I'd be really happy if they're at Glastonbury too.

BST does seem a good fit. I wonder if they'll go with 9 days next year given Elton's playing a week earlier than their usual gigs. The Strokes seem a decent fit as an act who won't necessarily sell it out but will be a decent ticket shifter to fill a night while the stage is up.

Think The Strokes would be more likely to do their own show at Finsbury Park (like KOL were supposed to be doing)

I get the feeling that booking an act like the Strokes, who attract a slightly more boisterous crowd than they are used to, is a mistake they’ll only make once.

Tears for Fears! Always wanted them at Glastonbury.

What’s all this about splitting the audience, deckchairs on one side! It must really reduce the atmosphere of the whole event? 
 

When I first saw the map, I thought it was a river dividing it ha ha....

I agree. A handful of classic 80s songs on the Pyramid would be welcome.

Doesn’t seem to be as big as they make it out to be on the map here

Tears For Fears and Crowded House? I'm seeing double! Four acts with six hits between them!

Saw Tears for Fears at a festival (not headlining) in 2019 and they were great, they'd make for a perfect afternoon Pyramid act

Well shit, that sure puts a few people into play.

 

Edit: my girlfriend got all smiles at Snow Patrol being within striking distance of the fest now.

£45 for Strokes and Fontaines is an absolute steal in my book, when you pay upwards of £50 for an act at any sizeable arena. Slightly annoying how there's a golden circle style VIP section, but at-least it's only half of the front section I guess. They're going to have to put a lot of security between the two sections to prevent people from trying their luck and jumping over the barriers. I'll definitely be trying for tickets on this one, Strokes just over an hour away from Manchester is a rare occurrence. 

I also can't seem to find where it officially mentions that it's an exclusive show up north, and that they'll be playing in the south at some point? Only place I can find that briefly mentions it is an NME article. Was it just in a press release or was it stated elsewhere?

I’d expect to see SP back. They were originally down for 2019 but had to pull out, can’t remember if they were on the poster for 2020 or not but wouldn’t be at all surprised to see them third down the Other again.

They werent on the 2020 poster initially which had me wondering if they were just going to appear on the next  one with stage breakdowns and such. Either way, this is a good thing for the moment.

Can we just have The Strokes please?

Someone on here who seemed to be in the know said they were playing Latitude in 2019 I think but they ended up at APE instead. 
 

Would personally guess a London show of their own and then maybe a show in Glasgow too in July time
