Also a bit harsh on James, who have plenty of popular (and better) material than Sit Down.

Absolutely! Was listening to their best of CD the other day and it’s banger after banger. No way on this earth they are a one-hit wonder band

I'm not sure where the comparison is there.

 

James are playing early in the day on the Pyramid. Avril is playing early evening on the second stage.

 

I'm pretty confident that if either of them were slated to headline the whole shebang, then you'd hear plenty of rumblings about it.

I dunno, I just reckon if you’re gonna complain about anything - the mid card of the line up is a pretty good place to start.

 

 

I’d sooner have those two drop out and be replaced by someone who’s made interesting music in this side of the millennium.

I find it mad that everyone has been getting het up over SZA headlining, but no one bats an eyelid at one hit wonders like James or guilty pleasure nostalgia like Avril Lavigne playing at all. You can at least make the argument that SZA is current. 

In 2016 they didn't even sing Sit Down but I guess your just trolling

I mean, James just released their 18th album which went to number one, actually making it their first number one record.

Knowing them, they'll probably spend half of their Glastonbury set playing songs from it, then people will complain about that as well.

Yeah, so this is what makes it obvious that you're trolling here. Obviously you're well aware that every song Avril Lavigne ever released was this side of the millennium.

 

There's so many slots of approximately that stature, across many different stages, that it's not credible to view any individual act as blocking the path towards "something better". Whereas at the very top, with only 3 headline slots, there's a much stronger case to be made.

I thought Taylor Swift was the biggest selling act

 

Well she probably is but when I think acts that can just put out date upon date and sell out Coldplay are one. Metallica certainly couldn't just sell out 5/6 Wembley dates easily. Add 4 Etihad, 2 Cardiff stadium, 2 Hampden to that.

I think I have a way of seeing if an announcement is imminent, and I cannot see that it is imminent. Which means either that it is not imminent, or that I do not in fact have a way of seeing if it is imminent. I hope that helps.

 

Happily, turns out I do actually have a way of seeing if an announcement is imminent. Can confirm that 10am tomorrow is the magic moment.

Sit Down is a banger - and at that, festival banger extraordinaire - but echo these sentiments. Sometimes is just gorgeous melancholy.

[BookAngel]

In a just world, Laid would be as big a hit as Sit Down.

What about the fact that her music is simply not very good and never has been? 

[NorthernSoul52]

Complicated is an absolute ripper. If Weird Al goes for it, it's a ripper - don't make the rules.

Ah, are James on the Pyramid?? I thought they were lined up for Other?

Uh. I thought I'd heard Pyramid. But now I'm doubting it.

Pretty sure Laid was their only hit in America.

So, been everywhere else at work and not being able to get an update on release date. Is there anymore news? Sigh. It's draining this wait

Seems it was to be played but the delayed start due to repairing the muddy ground meant it was dropped and they went straight to laid at the end. Sit down on that mud and half of us wouldn’t get back up😉😊

I assumed Pyramid if they are backed by a live orchestra. Will be epic.
