No pattern and all, but hopefully we get a stage headliner/big Pyramid act announced soonish Simz was 2nd Feb and LDR was 14th Feb.

Gnomicide Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 More importantly, look at that New Map date on the 20th Jan. That's exactly what we need. Sadly that's the earliest by 2 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's your issue, nothing has changed. Even the TBC acts on lineups pages etc etc. Anyway, until you piped up again with your please don't attack me bollocks everyone was playing nicely.

I want a real surprise 🙂 At this point though I am quite open to who that would be, as long as it's someone we thought was low on the possible list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money might always be an issue, but if they can bag the Stones then anything is possible, and I reckon they’d up the fee is Madge was in any way interested.

In this post, I will outline how a conclusion which is unsupported by official data cannot be depended upon as reliable. Each year, three "headliners" finish the day's musical entertainment on the main stage, referred to as the "Pyramid". The headline acts are announced before the festival begins, usually before the balance payment is due around early April. There is much speculation online surrounding the identity of the headline acts, and inevitably some of the speculation transpires to be incorrect. Some speculation is supported by claims of insider knowledge, either of the festival or of the music industry. One such example can be found on the internet forum 'eFestivals', where a poster wrongly claimed that Roxy Music were set to play at a specific time on the Pyramid stage. This was later withdrawn as the information supplied was not accurate. The festival will announce who is performing on that stage at that time before the festival begins. The incorrect information provided before such an official announcement is an example of how it can be easy to falsely speculate on future events and that only the provision of information direct from the source, in this case the festival itself, is truly reliable. In conclusion, I have cited an example of an occasion in which incorrect information was provided, leading many people to wrongly conclude that a particular act were due to perform at Glastonbury. There are variables affecting this process: the possibility of confirmation bias among a group of people inclined to believe a particular source; the malleability of people invested in early information regarding an event to which they are particularly attached; and the likelihood of a substantial return on investment in the gambling arena. These factors extend beyond the scope of this post but may be worthy of ongoing research. Edited January 18, 2023 by kalifire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenG92 Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) IMAGINE if they had Madge on the hook for 2023 as well. The two biggest living solo artists of all time. Redacted the second part. Obviously plenty would moan. But for my money you could have those two and quite literally anyone else the third day.

Think biggest living is a pretty good qualifier when they could actually be booked (and one already is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly that's the earliest by 2 months. Not so sure. The way I see it, the recent planning application gives no indication of any significant change to the site plans. Surely any proposed big changes would be included? I’m thinking the new map will be the same old 2022 map, give or take some minor tweaks.
