I appreciate I've asked this jokingly a few times now but on a serious note, do we know if Halvin is free? It'd love to get stuck into Clashfinder asap. 

 

I'm not on twitter so can't ask/ I don't know if they're on here? 

He's on holiday isn't he. I'm sure he'll do it when he can. Not sure what time zone he is in

Someone else will do it surely?

 

Was also thinking last year as it took a while to update, the lineup is always in a fairly simple plaintext layout, and clashfinder has a csv upload tool, wouldn't be too hard to just automate it?

It's be nice if the official app gets released at the same time as the lineup! Is that sort of synchronicity too much to ask for?

Genuinely can’t believe Halvin has chosen to holiday during our busiest time of the year. 
 

Reckless at best, treacherous perfidy at worst.

The festival needs to give the app people the details, once the fest publish the line up. App people have to get it approved by the app store. Won't be instant

I don’t doubt that Coldplay are much bigger and more well known than I can fathom - but there’s still not a festival that would book em to headline two nights at a festival, cos they just don’t have the amount of songs that would make it feasible. Not necessarily size of song, but amount of songs. They couldn’t vary it up to have two setlists in the same way that Metallica have. 
 

(And I’m no huge Metallica fan tbf, they’d be third in my Big Four rankings, and I’m not a crazed Coldplay hater - they just sort of exist, and I can very easily avoid them, even at Glastonbury 😁) 

Coldplay could play 3 nights, different songs every night, and still play at least 8 to 10 songs each night that many in the crowd would recognise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_by_Coldplay

Of that massive list, they've had 41 charting singles. Easily enough to play multiple nights... 

Please don't let that happen though... 🙈😂 (And that's coming from somebody who likes them.)

Yeah Coldplay have 9 albums, Metallica have 11. They've both got solid album tracks that only the fans would recognise. Coldplay just also have a bunch of genuine mainstream hits of which Metallica don't have a single one.

I wouldn't be surprised if they already have the info. Remember 2017 when EE gave a partial leak by having a screen shot of the Pyramid line-up on the App Store?

Ah surely everyone has heard Enter Sandman?…and Nothing Else Matters is all over TikTok…(Still agree the Coldplay have far more songs that casuals would know though)…both could comfortably do two nights and easily please fans. Never seen Coldplay on back to back nights (have seen Metallica two nights in a row though!).

they have impressive stats and you’re probably right but - no one - they, them, him or her, should ever play multiple nights.

You would've thought the official app people would be given the lineup slightly in advance, and in a coding format that they could transfer to their app straight away.

Morning campers! Here we go!

less people in the know = less leaks

 

Hence why the app follows on from the announcement 

[CantWaitForGlasto22]

Here we go …. may your surprises be many and your clashes be few 🤞🙏

Happy line up day lads.

We’ve made it.

 

Let the unparalleled joy of the time splits being here, be balanced by the instant low of realising everyone you want to see is playing at the same time.

I feel like we’ve got a semi-good grasp on who is playing where and when already this year due to the OG poster split and ordering of the stage lineups, but can never put it past Glastonbury to pull an absolute shiter of a clash out of thin air.

[Euphoricape]

They have done well to hold back Eminem and The KLF until today. Scenes at 10am

Main thing I’m looking at today is times for Prydz, HAAI b2b Ki Ki, Bicep, Bonobo and Faithless.

 

Will determine if I’m at a main stage at headliner time or not! 

[AdrianH]

So is it definitely today or is it mass speculation again?

Yeah same. I have a steer on where I'll be for the big five stages, and have already accepted some clashes like the Simz/Streets/Orbital nightmare, but the night time stuff is all to play for and nervously can't wait to see times.
