I was thinking this.  Not a headline level act IMO.  Other than Tilted (which was an OK song, stood on the shoulders of an ace video) I don't think I've heard much else of their output and not really liked any of it.

Love C&TQ - lots of great tunes and could still be tempted to spend Saturday night there, but likely to end up at GnR.

CATQ put on a great show last 2 times they’ve played, lots of staging and choreo .. some great songs.. I’ve been less into their recent stuff so I will probably give it a miss this time round.  But I think they do still warrant a headline slot.

[Wakey321]

So much here for me which is great as the past few years ive only seen the odd act in the JP Tent. 

Editors, Murder Capital, Courteeners, Shame for sure but getting Slowdive was a huge surprise! 

[rwoo]

+1 for CATQ. Loved them in 2019, great live show. New songs are great, the new album is being produced by Mike Dean so could be a big album.

I’m sure someone has said this but I’m on holiday and can’t be fucked checking - surprised that Maneskin aren’t on the Pyramid - unless they’re doing 2 sets?

gonna be a massively busy tent for that 1

I have this creeping feeling of dread that it's going to be a stinker for clashes this year.  After this poster and without the official timings I think I have 3 already and one is a three-wayer.

Yep - I already had that feeling, and this drop has just turned it up a notch or two!

Wunderhorse very good.

 

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

You can see the tent formerly known as John Peel on this map and you can see the size of it. As others have mentioned the whole area is getting a big refurbishment this year so it's anybody's guess what the surrounding area will look like exactly. But you can get a good idea of the size of it from a few YouTube videos.

While it's not A Big Stage it's definitely not "small" either.

Main standout for me is Slowdive.  A bit old school, but they are still good after all the years.

Agreed. To see a band as good and influential as Slowdive is a real treat. Cant wait

Clashes all over the place - just made a list of about 40 acts that I'd be happy to see - I'm still trying to get my head around a lot of the acts already announced which could get added to that list, plus bound to be a few more we don't know about yet on Pyramid, Park, Other, Acoustic etc that we don't know about yet.

20 years younger and doing it by myself and I think I'd be running all over the place 😄  going to take some serious thought about what I might never see again, what might be the most fun, best performers/performances etc plus leaving gaps for downtime, food, and general enjoying the fact that I'm at Glastonbury rather than running round like a blue-arsed-fly.

Pretty gutted Phoenix are headlining Sunday, being up against Elton and potentially QOTSA. Unfortunately can't be in 3 places but I can maybe catch a bit of each set.

Otherwise looking forward to Editors and Caroline Polachek!

I'd counsel against spending a fair portion of your Sunday night traipsing between headline slots. From EJ to Phoenix to QOSTA would likely be a good 45-60 mins of your night gone just to stand at the back or well to the side of each show.

2 sets would be doable perhaps, but 3? That's just coconuts.

I feel perpetually confused by the placement of CATQ on festival lineups. I've never really been a fan of theirs, though there are a handful of songs I like, but are they really bigger than Maneskin and the Courteeners in the UK? I've literally never met someone that talks about them, and I'd say I've got more friends 'into' music than the vast majority of people

If they can headline Other they can headline Woodsies surely

I’d agree.

Sunday legs won’t be up to it.

Pick a horse and back it.

I didn't think they were big enough to do Other either tbf

I remember seeing Ride there in 2017. That was great, so similarly looking forward to this.

I was trying to think of an idiom that would sum up what I meant. This is exactly it.

Usually it comes down to who I'm less likely to be able to see in the future. Hot Chip have fallen in clash-offs due to them being such regulars at festivals and the unlikelihood of seeing who they were up against. This year, looks like they're finally going to win out! It's been about a ten year wait, ha!

Thats what i did on the sunday of 2022 - started with Courtney Barnett at the park, swung by for a good dollop of west holts and Bicep, which looked pretty damn great - and then i strolled slowly up the back of the pyramid field for a decent bit of Kendrick Lamar. i really enjoyed dipping into all three, it meant i didnt have to decide between them but still get a fair bit of the flavour of their set. Would do again, if i wasnt committed one way or another

The crowd size they got on Other suggests they were massively overbooked.

Unless you can teleport, not really. Youll be able to split Phoenix and Elton but thats it. 
 

Working Mens Club are an 80's synth sounding band for anyone not familiar with  them.

If you've got the stamina on a Sunday night, by all means go for it, and arguably Park > WH > Pyramid is an even longer stretch than going Pyramid > Woodsies > Other. So that's pretty good going!

It can be done, I'm sure, although I don't know if I'd enjoy it so much dipping in and out, especially if the biggest hits are likely to be played at the end of a set. I think I'd have to know all three back catalogues very well to do something like that, or be condifent I can fill in the gaps during the next years in gigs/fests.

How on earth are Courteeners and Hot Chip playing yet again? must be doing it for free surely? 

I've enjoyed watching them both over the years, but seems like a lack of ideas.

Aye should have been swapped with The Streets that night 

[circus92]

I could quite happily do Woodsies as a festival on its own based on that line-up and have a great weekend.  Easily 4-5 acts each day I would enjoy.  Just demonstrates the standard of what Glasto puts on year after year. Incredible

Soon as I saw them on the first lineup I thought maybe 4th down

 

would rather see them on JPT to be fair
