[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Almost exactly as thought that they would try and create a bigger attraction out of the whole NW corner. Excited to see the new area in all its glory. Can see it being a big draw on Wednesday and Thurs night. Should be good competition for the William's Green area.

From the line-up though, looks like my Friday night headliner is confirmed.

Wunderhorse very good.

 

Newcomer here, any pics of the area? Is it pretty small stage and intimate or no?

Who or what are Once in a Blue Moon - seems to be about 4 different artists on spotify with that name but maybe spotify is an entirely inappropriate place to be looking?

Once in a Blue Moon is a new cafe in the area, I think...

I wonder if the poster is in running order like we suspect West Holts was. In which case, we're looking at:

FRI: Hot Chip / Warpaint / Maneskin / Slowdive / Cat Burns / The Big Moon / Bru-C / The Sixsters

SAT: Christine & the Queens / Rina Sawayama / Editors / Pale Waves / Digga D / Flo / Wunderhorse / The Last Dinner Party

SUN:  Phoenix / Caroline Polachek / Courteeners / Shame / The Murder Capital / Working Men's Club / CMAT / The Love Buzz 

I reckon levels are about right, we may find it aligns with our day info if we stick 3 random tbas in

Can’t wait to join all the Pop Dads furtively and respectfully enjoying Flo

Ta - hopefully check it out either Fri or Sat evening - two potential headliners there!

Fri HC is almost nailed for me barring some late addition somewhere else. Saturday will be all about Axl and the lads for me.

It's a shame that Woodsies is in the opposite corner to SEC because I wanted to catch Skindred too after Hot Chip... But now looks very unlikely. Dang it.

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Nice to see Bru-C there. What a bonus!

For Friday my heart says Young Fathers -> Saw Doctors -> Hot Chip but my head and body says something needs to be dropped 😄

It's a cafe and music venue that appears at quite a lot of smaller festivals, sometimes functions as an after hours area at festivals like Noisily and Warm up.

Was half expecting Maneskin to get some silly high slot on the Pyramid or something, or at least Other, so surprising to see them tucked away in Woodsies - that’ll be heaving.

Not much there for me. I might be in the minority, but the line up has not inspired me at all so far.

Hoping the Glade & the Park pull it out of the bag.

Looking forward to the HU on the WH, but Im not buzzing like I am usually.

The Woodsies...nothing there appeals much. 

I’ll be watching hot chip and maybe working mens and thats it. Its fine but its not great and lots of this has been very very easy to see at any festival.

Ooh yeah HC to skindred is one hell of a trek. God damn you glasto!

Out of upvotes but looks lovely!  Feel like there was something similar-looking in greenfields about 2009, friend dragged me there for a chai and a smoke a few times but didn't spot anything quite like it in the years after.

With there being no stage at WG this year I don't know if crowds will gravitate there on Thurs as usual. I expect anywhere else that has anything on to be absolutely rammed.

[Memory Man]

24 acts on the poster

in 2022 there were 9 on fri & sat and 8 on sunday.

could be anything up to 2 TBA’s across the weekend. Or just 2 v low level acts added. Or one of each.

Feel like this is the problem with a lot of this years lineup - a lot of your standard U.K. festival fodder who are constantly doing the rounds. Still gonna be a clashtastic nightmare for everybody I’m sure, but not too many unmissable must sees (although still a handful, of course).

Its a massive tent, one of the biggest in the country. probably holds around 10-15k people maybe

[airwaves]

Slowdive!! Yeah. 😁😁😁😁😁
Please be on Friday so they don't clash with the Pyramid subbing / sub-subbing / sub-sub-subbing on Saturday or Sunday. 

Been trying to see them for years / decades! but dates never fitted. 

[CantWaitForGlasto22]

Like the look of the lineup and glad to see CATQ confirmed for Sat and not Sun as originally thought. That’s Sat night headliner fixed for me. 
 

Agree Maneskin will be heaving, but surely not worse than others who’ve played there before eg Killers. last year Sigrid and George Ezra really busy inside and outside the tent too.

Skindred rumoured to be thursday night, no? all your scheduling issues could be sorted!

Its a new area this year. I assume the tent will be the same as always but some of the other things on the poster are new additions so no one has pic of exactly how its going to look.

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Sadly there are no absolute must-sees on there this year, which is a shame. I like that tent. Slowdive is a welcome addition, but they're on the "if nothing else is on" pile. As much as I love Hot Chip, I can't see it being anything different to the times I've seen them over the past few years, so I'll probably forego them for an early night in the SEC

Happy that they've tried to expand the area, sounds great.  Will have to wander over on Weds for a look.

The one act I really want to see on the line up is Rina.  Putting her up against Lizzo is a hate crime.
