The Comet is Coming, Leftfield and Thundercat are up there on my list to see depending on clashes.

A comment is indeed coming

Yeah the issue is I feel like they both pull very similar crowds… not sure what the decision to have them on at the same time to try and pull people from Reg is all about…

Doubt it has anything to do with trying to pull people away from Reg.

Someone has to headline the other stages, and bigger acts headline stages. It's just the luck of the draw....

Who are they going to have headline The Park/Woodsies otherwise? Some mid-tier act, and have Phoenix/Alt-J play in the afternoon?

Not sure if we already suspected this or not, and I know you can't always predict based on previous lineups, but I think we're missing at least 1 park stage act.

2023

Fri - ? acts
Sat - ? acts
Sun - ? acts
Total - 25

2022

Fri - 9 acts
Sat - 9 acts
Sun - 8 acts
Total - 26

2019

Fri - 9 acts
Sat - 9 acts
Sun - 9 acts
Total - 27

2017

Fri - 10 acts
Sat - 10 acts
Sun - 9 acts
Total - 29

There'll definitely be 1 TBA (secret set). The 25 on the lineup will be split like this probably.

Friday - 9 acts

Saturday - 8 acts (1 TBA)

Sunday - 8 acts

@GetGorgeForGlasto Just skip Alt J they play everywhere all the time. Reg is nearly retired.

Think she might be alright! No guarantee Sparks are subbing Saturday, and if they are Lizzo's more likely to clash with whoever's on before them.

I thought I'd seen before that Sparks were playing Friday - from around the time of the original poster.

Same here but this looks to be Saturday

 

[king_oxymoron]

Don’t think that necessarily tracks, didn’t Alison G say she was on before Thundercat? If you read the poster as placements they’d be two of the three subs, but I don’t think this is the case. So Sparks could still be Friday.

Hoping that Confidence Man have a proper set on The Other rather than just this as the only appearance. 

Also, Stonebridge always has ace line ups, but it's impossible to get into unless you arrive hours early, shame. 
 

or work on the bar 😉

[Nestacres]

Compared to last year, or in fact any previous year, that is woeful.

Or just a set on Pyramid or Other.

Yep, this. I reckon we'll see them there. Which will be great.

They also might pop up at Daniel Avery, they've this plastered on the front of their site -

Yawn

Oh my gosh just realised Charlotte Adigery and Bolis Pupul are behind this absolute meme banger from a while back - 

(watch from 9:59)

Shooting up the what to see ranks after that discovery.

Also, Fever Ray headlining over Thundercat??? I could not hum you a Fever Ray song, and Thundercat is one of the most relevant names on the scene rn

I couldn't hum you a Thundercat song, but can hum you plenty of Fever Ray and The Knife songs.  Horses for courses, eh, but it's not like Thundercat is a universally popular act. 

[tjfish]

I want to see some of these - BUT, how do I know it won't be like Wet Leg and Jack White last year?
If you can't get within 20m of the stage, you can't hear it, let alone see it.

Anyone think they're making improvements to The Park stage/sound system this year?

It won't, with the possible exception of Fat Boy. Wet Leg were a massively hyped band with a song that had had ridiculous airplay and popularity/notoriety. Their star had risen exponentially since they were booked for that slot. I can't see anyone on the poster creating anything other than a perfectly 'normal' Park crowd size (as yet unannounced TBAs notwithstanding). You'll be fine.

Can somebody please give me a run down on the busyness of stonebridge. Like is it busy all the time in the evening and night regardless of acts? What time does it usually start getting too busy? Ive been to glasto 4 times before and never been in there

My experience has been that once you're inside it's fine and quite pleasant with room to move around. They operate a one-in one-out at busy times which means it gets crazy busy outside the tent for the bigger names.

Ah, I was really hoping that Fat White Family might have been on the cards.....

I didn't realise Fever Ray was Karin from The Knife, that does change things a touch

Saw William Crighton supporting Beans on Toast in the beer garden of a pub on Dartmoor last summer. He started singing and everyone stopped talking to watch him; his voice was unbelievable. Had been hoping to catch him again so looking forward to that

Yup. A lot of the acts on the poster won't even summon particularly notable crowds.

He's amazing. Saw him at Boomtown in 2018. Mesmerising.
