I only know Drake from the meme, couldn't name you a song.

 

You almost certainly know Hotline Bling (the one that goes ‘you used to call me on my cellphone), it was endemic. I gotta agree with @The Nal, his output is just universally worthless. 

[On The Blend]

Oh and he’s “very close friends” with Millie Bobbie Brown, who he met when she was 14 and he was 31

Just clear things up: is Madonna actually ruled out or is the Mail just lying again?

She's not 100% out, just as she was never 100% in. The chances that there has suddenly been a realisation that Madonna is out of the festival's price range and it has left them floundering is a stretch.

ive seen drake live many times and until he knows how to actually but together a proper set then i woudnt like to have him headline. he plays like 15s of 200 songs... roughly.

Thats the right word. One of the few sets I’ve ever seen where I wouldn’t change anything. When I listen to it it’s pretty much always the full thing, start to finish.

I'd spent 30 years believing that the cure were dull as dishwater live, as that was the report from everyone I knew who'd ever seen them.  It was a last minute change of plan that saw me head to the big pointy bastard that evening, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.  

An absolute corker of a show, heavy with Disintegration material, finished with a pop-tastic flourish and as you say, perfect from start to finish.  One of the best headliners I've seen at the farm.

That’s probably right but there must have been a valid reason why Kendrick was Sunday.

He had a big outdoor show in Milan on the Friday I think, maybe that was the constraint… but man, closing the main stages with that mic drop was full-on goosebumps that wouldn’t have been the same Saturday night

Can't see it ever happening. But NC and co are my dream headliner.

I've heard it's happening. Greatest headline set of all time.

In Nicki Minaj not in the headliner discussions or has she already planned gigs elsewhere in late June?

She hasn't announced anything later than early June I don't think.

But I'd expect her to go to a European fest like Prima, or BST, if anything.

Can't see Glasto booking her as a Pyramid headliner, maybe Other.   She's certainly not the one Emily got a phone call about.

I doubt it was anything more than just scheduling.

Billie's arena dates meant she could only do Friday.

Macca was already booked for Saturday (as he was in 2020) which left Sunday for Kendick. His Italy date was Thursday and that was pretty much booked as a warm up for GF anyway.

Are the Pet Shop Boys pervy then? 

Or is that another unfounded claim from CalGon, like Bicep making entry level house music?

Well there’s the classic (and definitely untrue) rumour as to why they’re called the Pet Shop Boys. The Eminem-fack-tier of comedy

no, he was calling depeche mode "the pervy pet shop boys, its not a wrong description when you think about it.

When it comes to 'pervy' acts, Madonna must be right up there?

Not too difficult to find examples:

Domination's the name of the game
In bed or in life, they're both just the same
Except in one you're fulfilled at the end of the day

Let's play 'Master And Servant'
Let's play 'Master And Servant'

It’s a superb description

I had to bump off Andy Fletcher to make it work.
