2024 Headliners

[Ben7amin_]

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.

Almost certainly bollocks but Human League opening Other is such a weirdly specific detail that is has me second guessing myself.

I'm completely ignoring this because I want to

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.

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.

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

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)

We do realise theres a full debate going on about a reddit post, a site known for the rule of thumb of 'assume everything everyone says is completely made up'.

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 😀

Maybe they're running with a noon-time cheese slot

Rick Astley last year

Human League this yeat

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Even if some of it is accurate, Stevie Nicks as headliner doesn't pass the sniff test 

[Euphoricape]

I hope the Stevie out and Pearl Jam in bit Is true mind.

[JonSnow]

Has anyone put forward the merits of the festival bumping up The Lottery Winners from 5th down on Woodsies to Pyramid stage headliner yet?

Would've been a lot more fun than Arctic Monkeys last year, to be fair.

Jungle has been discussed on here widely.  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.

Fontaines defo on park pal

[CaledonianGonzo]

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.

Any info on placebo playing woodsies...?

[Spindles]

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]

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.

[FloopFiller]

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.

Yep, but that was based on someone saying Pearl Jam lyrics were quoted when they were in fact by Free.
