LAWKS! It's the next announcement thread

[Metal Monkey]

Wonder where Bonobo and Faithless are playing, both should be on one of the listed stages for me. 

[Jacko45]

Can't remember from last year, do you get any 'bigger' acts announced from now onwards or just all the smaller stages? 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Haven’t been following the rumours this year so it’s all a bit of a surprise to me. If Sunday night’s headliners are SZA, The National and Justice then the latter is going to be insanely crowded.

I feel like times are hard and Glastonbury are now going for cheaper nostalgia bookings in unusually high spots on the lineup. They tried it out last year with Sophie Ellis Bextor and it went down well with the crowd, so they know they can get away with it. This year the likes of Twain, Keane, Paloma Faith in big spots. I think the masses like that, but I think the Pyramid Stage is in danger of becoming Rewind Festival.

Texas last year as well.

[Ayrshire Chris]

Thought James were playing, maybe a TBA.

A couple of biggies but not many.

What's Paloma Faith got in Emily?

"Here is the first Glastonbury Festival 2024 line-up poster. Many more acts and attractions still to be announced.

 

Tickets for this year's Festival are sold out, but our prize draw for 20 pairs is raising emergency funds to support people affected by conflict, at https://glas.to/2024draw"

 

 

 

Are they normally that low key with the first poster announcement? You'd expect a "We are delighted/exited/thrilled to announce" or something. Not just "Well, here it is then".

They know

Still Acoustic, Avalon, SE corner, The Levels, Leftfield etc etc to come and get excited about.

What's Coldplay got on her?

Exactly, and looking down at other acts this year across the other stages, there's a fair few more noughties throwbacks who haven't done anything of note for years.

Keane and Paloma granted but Shania is the legend so it’s only really those two and Cyndi. PJ Harvey, Micheal Kiwanuka and LCD is a lot more ‘6 Music’ than some years.  

[CharlotteB]

The Woodside lineup looks amazing though. And my favourites, Avalon, Acoustic and Left Field are still to come 😁👍🏻

[CaledonianGonzo]

Taps aff for Kneecap

[craigsmith1985]

Wow that is the worst first poster I have ever seen. Actually glad I’m not £350 out of pocket for that line up. Been going since 1998

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Pyra-mid 

[K2SO]

This is an all-time worst lineup for me. At £350 a ticket, I'll be putting mine back in the pot.

[-TLR-]

i don't understand - all you lot have been going on about for the past few weeks is was an incredibly brave, forward thinking, progressive, inspiring thing it would be to have SZA on the pyramid...

now its confirmed there's not a mention of what an amazing brave contemporary booking it is and how you are all going to be there to witness it - just loads of moaning about how sh*t the line up is!

 

i thought i was the one who was meant to be on here moaning about stuff??

 

😀

Gossip headlining Woodsies in 2024 is a bit weird but the West Holts trio is as strong as ever. 

[Beerqueen]

So who's doing the Spotify playlist then?

I think Twain and Coldplay should still count. Then Keane, Paloma, The Streets, Avril Lavigne, Corrinne Bailey Rae. It's not a complaint really, just an observation.

Faithless could be Glade?

No Cymande is a sore one.
