Ben7amin_ Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 I mean should it not be a one strike thing. I.e If you claim to know insider info on the line up but as part of that info you name an act (Future Islands) that absolutely can not be playing Glastonbury then the rest of the info is instantly dismissed? That's how I would think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very specific, but it'd also be so wildly out of place that I just can't imagine it happening. They're very much in the category of "the more alcohol the audience has consumed, the better they are". Putting them at noon would be madness.

That's how I would think about it. Yeah, I look at it as, if it is going to be genuine then there isn't going to stuff on there which is wrong. So they either have genuinely heard from someone but it's wrong (because that person is either making it up or has got it incorrect) Or They are just making it up themselves. Either way if they are claiming it's a "leak" then it isn't if stuff on there can't happen. Also it's a bit of a grab bag of stuff why would you have these specific things across the whole festival? Usually legit info is on one or a couple of acts or relating to one particular stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really is very little chance of any kind of poster leak , people are clutching at straws on this .... people might get wind of a few artists but the whole poster is going to be pretty locked down to just a few people surely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I would think about it. Not just Future Islands. Say She She are playing in US on the Saturday, so seem incredibly unlikely. This looks like someone has read some rumours and is trying to pass themselves off as being ITK (without doing a deep dive to see if it's all even possible) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes for sure, but in the absence of anything else. I mean, it makes a welcome change not to be having some of the circular arguments we have 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interested if Fontaines is right, could be, but I don't know that Park feels right after later afternoon Other stage with a big crowd last time. It isn't that implausable but I thought they would be a Woodsies headliner or maybe Other Stage again.

CaledonianGonzo Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 I'd also have tipped em for somewhere higher up the bill, so hopefully that's a good omen that the top tiers of the line up are stacked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindles Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Honestly, if it ends up with Jungle versus Placebo I'm going to cry. Jungle are my favourite feel good glastonbury act, who never fail to deliver, but in all my years of festivals I've somehow never seen Placebo.

CaledonianGonzo Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 There's someone on here with links to Grace Jones people I think - they'd be able to find out if she's changed the habits of a lifetime and signed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloopFiller Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 That Reddit post is clearly bollocks considering the amount of provable false info on there already (Future Islands and Say She She being in America at the time) so I wouldn’t go worrying about any of the potential clashes it’s listed there - it’s just a mix of stuff from here, discord etc with some additional bad guesswork added on top. And Stevie Nicks is obviously not headlining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, but that was based on someone saying Pearl Jam lyrics were quoted when they were in fact by Free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
