Attempting to split the crowds a bit more there on the Thursday

When it drops with James, Squeeze, Gabrielle and the act formerly known as Slaves being the significant new additions.

It's always open on the Thursday. Just a few hours earlier by the looks of it.

[MJP]

If this line up doesn’t deliver us a Troye Sivan other stage slot I stg.

Yeah that’s kind of what I meant even by opening a few hours earlier will draw some people into that area

Think James basically kills off the Troye rumour tbh, but fingers crossed .

[Pipine]

I didn’t realise the bbc did that much stuff… it’s going to take a lot of catching up with after the festival.. I’d quite like to hear a lot of the wandering round site / interviews stuff.

There'll be a lot less additions this year, just because the poster had so much on it.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Troye would be such a d@b up.  If he's not there its a baffling omission.

Yip.  A Churnups type mystery slot on the Pyramid is about the best we can hope for - and that'll probably still be the Kings of effing Leon.

Looking forward to seeing the full line up! - Personally for me, this is one of the weakest line ups that I've seen at Glastonbury - a few interesting acts but the Pyramid in particular is uninspiring to say the least.

 

In some ways it'll make the festival more interesting though, I can wander round the much niche areas without feeling like I'm missing out

In previous years when we’ve had a few dead hours in terms of acts we want to see, we’ve been to the T and C field.

 

It’s an amazing way to spend a few hours. So much to see.

right time to get some work done this morning, I have a feeling I'll be preoccupied this afternoon

I think people should mentally prepare for this very scenario.  I'm only excited by the full line-up so I can start plotting where the clashes are rather than expecting any new big names.

Really underwhelmed by this year’s lineup. The previous two years had such good ones. 

 

I thought 2022 was well over rated personally.

Many will find it the weakest.

Nope, just an extention I think. I still expect today as there has always been a gap. 

[suzie sue]

I’m excited for the new stages and expanded areas, seems to be a stronger lineup across the board but maybe at the expense of the biggest stages, with investment going elsewhere

100% this tbh. I don't think we're suddenly getting a new headliner a la QOTSA last year.

Yeah I think this is a really good line-up across the board, it's just not as top-heavy as in recent years. There's multiple acts across every stage I actively want to see, or would be keen on seeing. I didn't make it last year as I was on my honeymoon, but I still got the app out to help me pretend like I was there, and there were gaps everywhere. Really weak outside of the headliners I thought, and even then... 2/3 Pyramid headliners were outright bad (or 'uninspired', at least) bookings
 

You can't book Elton or Macca every year...
