I’ve just realised I have a ticket to see Sam Fender in Dublin on June 25th. He’s in Belfast on the 23rd as well. I guess that means he’s extremely unlikely for Glastonbury..

He subbed this year so won't be there

Is that a hard and fast thing?

Most festivals don't book the same acts two years in a row

Glasto books the same acts 3 years in a row quite often. Go check. They have a lot of stuff carry over cause they just move them up stages. There isnt as much new and unknown stuff on the main stages each year to make it diff.

While that's true enough, it's more common further down the bill and even without the other dates Sam-Fend would be highly unlikely for G23.

This is the key for Sammy boy. 

The only way “up” is to top the big one, which he isn’t doing next year. 

Someone may be able to prove me wrong but I don’t think anyone has ever subbed then headlined The Pyramid on consecutive years. 

[CiaranMc]

This all makes sense. There’s a wee bit of wishful thinking on my behalf as I like him but seem to be cursed in terms of seeing him live. He was supposed to be my first gig back after Covid restrictions, but I got the lurgy, he pulled out of a Killers support slot (so I was left with a ticket to see The Killers), and now this.

This is a small bit better of a reason to be fair.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Best bet is probably secret set. 

Unless they scrap them next year after reading several months of moaning on here.

Foals surely out this year right? Headlined the Other stage last year and it was potentially my favourite act of the weekend. Unless they come back to headline, i cant see them there next year which is sad cos i would 100% see them again

100 percent out, where would they fit? They aren't headlining or playing below an other stage headline slot.

Yeah agreed - if their next album is a corker theyll headline otherwise itll be a good few years till theyre back

I suppose there is the tiniest, tiniest chance of some rando secret set or something, but seeing as they were secret set in 2019 and headlined other this year, I'd bet everything I have on them not being there next year.

Not sure where you're based, but he's got some pretty big shows next Summer and there'll undoubtedly be a load of tickets flying around nearer the time, prob your best bet.

Dublin. 
 

Between Glastonbury and an expensive 3 night Springsteen stand and potential Rugby World Cup trips next year- all of which I’d pretty much signed up to before getting Glasto tickets I doubt I’ll be doing any more travel for gigs. Arra I’ll see him sometime.

Looks like he’ll be around for a while, so I expect you’ll have plenty of opportunity on future tours!

Well Niall might seem to be the one Glasto would target and if theres an unknown or empty slot at R/L that could be it.

He’s at IoW that’s for sure. Do you know if IoW and glasto share a lot of acts?

Check this years posters. Unless theres exclusives its all fair game. Niall is also at trnsmt. Off the top of my head Wet Leg, Sigrid, Rudimental and Blossoms played both.

[GeezLouise]

I thought Tomlinson might be there this year as he attended as a punter last year 

[king_oxymoron]

Would love Niall to be there. Would avoid Tomlinson like the plague, so this is good. 

[Suprefan]

Probably
