LAWKS! It's the next announcement thread

I've always found The Paul Heaton Songbook doesn't get the respect it deserves overall. So many simple but great pop songs.

I like him for giving away all those free pints last year on his tour

One of the most underrated songwriters ever IMO.  Build still gives me chills every time I hear it.  And an all round thoroughly good bloke.  Shame he's a dirty blade (Sheff Utd fan.)

Great song. It's used in All Of Us Strangers so perfectly as well.

The gig up in the Acoustic the other year was an all timer. I went in lukewarm but it was banger after banger

Perfect 10 is getting some unnecessary hate in my opinion, might not be his finest work but for a tongue in cheek sing a long tune it’s great.

When the Housemartins played the pyramid in 1986, during the set someone climbed the speaker stack to the left of the stage to erect a banner to protest about news international and the Wapping strikes. 

As I recall there was an expectation they might get upset at this interrupting their show, but hats off to them they encouraged them on. 

That and the numerous times he's taken a principled stand or dipped into his pocket to support communities or his fans - he's a top bloke. 

Fat Boy is always hanging around the site and I know this gets mentioned a lot but is there always room for a Housemartins secret set? Perhaps an acoustic set on the Band Stand.

Nah, somewhere bigger, he should guest on the Pyramid 😊

He is on a mission to play every stage. Think the Band Stand is one of the few regular stages he hasn’t played on yet.

Do we know when the payment window is yet? Surely not April considering that’s only a couple weeks away? Was it April or May last year?

March last year - and isn't the payment window dates given on ticket confirmation emails?

I'd argue if it was down to songs/hits alone... Avril and Shania have the most iconic sing-alongs of the whole weekend by a mile

Dexys on the Park literally have come on Eileen 😉

Negative. It's called Radio 1, 2 and 6 music.

[FloopFiller]

Idles such a big booking for the slot that they had to be called up a week prior to the lineup announcement to be offered it when plans A through F didn’t work out. 

[Alex DeLarge]

Waiting for the dance areas to knock it out the park (as ever). Don't be surprised to see pretty much all these names (some of them already are on the poster):

 

[WhoOdyssey]

I wonder why they've stuck a 3 in Rudimental's name? I might be wrong, but I don't think they've ever used that branding.

Wonder if Jakes know that he / they are named after the lavvies.

[Ged Devereux]

Were Idles rumoured for Woodsies? Would have been a better fit, they hardly packed the field 3rd down last time. Them against Fontaines makes no sense. Am I misremembering one year where someone was labelled the headliner for the Other but played 2nd from top and a dance act closed the stage? I know they do it at IOW but can't remember if that's been the case at Glastonbury

I don’t think so… Coachella do that but I don’t remember Glasto doing it
