Park headliner? Only conflict is she played in 2019 and hasn’t released an album since then. One is on the way though.

Think Janelle would be high Other if she played again any time soon. Would be a great booking and her dates are very convenient but tbh I’m not expecting her, if only because it would be such a great booking and I’m lowering my expectations.

Just had a listen to and look at the Hu. Scary but brilliant!  Love a bit of folk metal. 
definitely not Roger Daltry , more a Mongolian Big Country😉

In case anyone is interested here is a playlist of all on the West Holts. Top two tracks plus latest release from everyone on the poster

So what's the best way to get from Candi to Elton we reckon? Jetpack, monorail?

Hmm....personally I think I'd get a spot for Candi stage right near the path to Cabaret. I'd then head to Cabaret, left into Bellas, up through Theatre then across into Acoustic along the path and left across Muddy Lane into Kidney Mead and Pyramid. 

It's a long way round but is still likely to be quicker than heading through market, Williams Green etc.

Also just stuck The Hu on

I don’t know what the fuck this is but I’m enjoying it

I’m totally fucking mesmerised by them, watching a gig they played in Belgium!

Part of me (the selfish part) resents you making this public knowledge..... I’ve been getting to busy headliners via Acoustic for years, then working my way forward from the path through Big Ground.... the fewer people know about this the better!

After staring at the map for about 10 minutes that's exactly what I came up with. Thanks!

Although on Sunday I'll be likely so knackered I'll just nap through Lil Nas X instead of catching Candi 😂

Have you got a link? 
Also what day do people think they’ll be playing and what slot? Really hoping they don’t clash with anyone

Definitely the best route. Otherwise it’s a nightmare approach past the cider bus area. It’s always a surprisingly quiet path via Acoustic (up to now!)

I really don’t want to miss Young Hearts Run Free but it looks like she often finishes with other songs so it should be ok to get to Elton.

Rudimental surely gonna have one of the smallest WH crowds in recent memory. Not only are they a weak choice to begin with, but I can’t  imagine many of their fans wouldn’t just be at Elton instead.

Thinking about how early this announcement was compared to every other Glastonbury festival, I'm wondering if they are going to try and get all of the stage posters released before the full lineup/schedule this time. Williams Green, John Peel, Greenpeace, Truth and several smaller stages all had their posters come out after everyone on them was already officially confirmed last year (according to the Thingy).

Im fully on board for them getting things out asap - but we’ll see how it goes

given its a fairly weak lineup overall this year compared to recent festivals, getting a few of the the areas out before balances might help keep the % of returned tickets as low as possible. I suspect it will be higher than average this year due to price, cost of living and perceived weaker lineup. Tbf without elton and carly rae its a borderline stinker so far

Gets even better towards the end of the gig. Like Led Zeps  Kashmir.  Clashes are going to be inevitable, and I’m going to need some powers of persuasion and diplomacy to get Mrs C to see them😉

Gabriel’s on Friday? 

Going by what seems to be the Friday-Saturday-Sunday pattern as you go down the poster

Think my Friday night is sorted. Young Fathers on West Holts, followed by a slow walk up to Park for Manics, and spend the rest of the night up in that area of the site.

Ooh do we have info that Manics are headlining the Park on Friday?  Because YF-> Manics turns Friday into a very good day indeed for me.
