Just the way it goes, nothing but thieves are on the bottom line of the other stage and have had a stellar two years....

Its a very glastonbudget booking nonetheless

Idles will draw a big crowd, part made up of die hard fans and part made up from people who see them as a good option away from Dua. Fair play to them they are great live and play a lot of shows. People don’t tend to see them one and done , they come back for a repeat. 

these D block guys may have sold out massive London shows but I reckon they draw a smaller crowd at glasto in that same slot than idles. Could be wrong though 

also they might have to close the park to a swarm of indie dads for fountaines if scheduled that way lol 

Fontaines and IDLES clearly shouldn't have clashed

Definitely a bump up for them, must be to do with giving a rock alternative to Dua Lipa and split the crowd between the park and other… I’ll be at the Park I think

The act subbing them has 4 o2 dates

It doesn't make any sense

Their fans aren't Glastonbury's audience though, look at how small WizKid's crowd was last year.

Sure

but the size gap is even bigger than with wizkid

You could surely say similar about SZA? Holding acts back because 'their fans aren't there' isn't going to make their fans come

From my view- I’m finding the undercard more exciting than the headliners. 
 

Nobody mentioning Cyndi Lauper too much? Shes a great booking!

 

Loving the likes of last dinner party getting a bigger crowd. Mrs DoSD is disappointed though.

maybe because its not really a surprise -  she pretty much plays every year doesn't she?

 

 

(fwiw - i have no feelings about Cyndi Lauper either way).

This is my third year and she hasn’t played yet 😂 
 

Maybe every three years?

and as far as I know that is the only time she has played too! (and she was surprisingly excellent 🙂 )

If I see one more ‘that don’t impress me much’ comment… so help me god

really?

damn... it really feels like her name is constantly on the Acoustic line-up...  i stand corrected! 

[VicAtreides]

Does anyone else think LCD as a Pyramid sub is a bit off? For what it’s worth I love them and saw them at WHP back in 2017 and it was one of my favourite ever gigs, but they feel like they’d translate so much better to other stage headliner or even West Holts at a push and the pyramid atmosphere might see their sound get a little… lost? Or maybe I’m just overthinking it.

I’ve been going since 97 other than 4 years between 2014 and 2019 and haven’t noticed Cyndi on the bill other than one of the festivals I missed..  so I’m over the moon to see her this year.  
She slightly compensates for the lack of the true icon Madonna 😂

[FakeEmpire]

Cyndi on Pyramid is great - but someone on Discord had that info months ago so we knew it was coming.

I missed her last time around and she's brilliant live so this is a must see for me.

Putting Idles up against Fontaines D.C is a bold move

I am in the "Glastonbury can do no wrong" camp, but this is a infuriatingly stupid clash

More like the opposite- got very few people who think it's anything other than a bad idea

[Sasperella2]

As someone who has a ticket but can't go, I can confirm that this lineup is good enough to make me proper gutted! 

Definitely enough going on there to keep me busy. Pyramid is weak for me, but I say that most years. 

Maybe I can go 8 months pregnant and just camp myself in The Park for the whole time (with a wee walk up to Idles, Kiwanuka, and Block Party... ) 

[gooner1990]

I think perhaps some of the 'underwhelmed' ness on here is because everything gets discussed, analysed or acts playing get tipped off in such detail that by the time the line-ups do come out none of it is a surprise to anyone.

Its why I avoid the site build up threads when the festival gets close as I like to have at least one surprise when I arrive on site!

I think LCD and Simz as Pointo subs are both odd placements.  I like both acts, and will probably see Simz, but they'd both work much better on Other/Holts.

She's played once in 2016.
