and according to some people on this forum, the spice girls and take that would be fantastic bookings.

And Harry Styles...

It's the latter that makes me think it isn't. This isn't a secret set in the Park or Woodsies which a fraction of the festival get to see. It's literally the same stage. You don't play this slot and then come back next year and headline. It'll literally be the same band on the same stage playing the same songs but a few hours later.

Now if it's some sort of Taylor tribute with guests or some sort of supergroup mash-up then maybe you get away with it. But that's the big difference with Pulp and Foos for me - Foos will want to come back and headline in the next three years. And the festival will want to book them. Pulp will be gone for good this time next year, at least in this incarnation.

Is there any reason Foos wouldn't be announced if it were them? I know Pulp have some big London dates on sale on Friday.

(The hour changeover makes me wonder if it's something with a more elaborate set-up also, ie. act with orchestra)

I assume whoever just isn't being announced for the novelty value. But you're right, it is the weird thing for a seventy-five minute set before a return shortly after.

I low-key think it would actually be hilarious if they came in late and Axl stormed off 30 mins in. 

Would genuinely be a Glastonbury moment for sure. 

At Reading 2010 they came on an hour late, the promoters cut their sound off and then they staged a "protest" onstage.

Is there any thread on this site that can't be hijacked by this utterly stale, tedious argument?

there is no argument, few people think its a great booking.

I was at that it was so funny when he then tried to sing through a megaphone

Trying to bring the thread back on topic, what happened to the poll between FF and Pulp?

The last time I looked it was clearly a win for Pulp.  The vote was split, I think, about 70/30 in favour of Pulp.  

The results were heavily in favour of Pulp being the mostly likely outcome and Pulp being the most desired.

Graham Coxon has rescheduled a gig he was due to play on the Friday due to "scheduling conflicts". Not exactly confirmation that blur are playing but no obvious other conflict. 

That is an interesting little nugget of information.

Can we not do the GnR headliner thing again please. 

We don't need this Civil War.

Looks like The Waeve gig has moved from the Friday to the Sunday. Even if Blur aren't the Churnups could mean that they are the set at woodsies.

Even Emily felt the need to give a story about how they weren't first choice.

That is a nugget. Was that the one in Dublin?

The whole "pipeline" line got a rundown from a few people, such as this one - https://www.euronews.com/culture/2023/03/08/the-glastonbury-problem-why-european-festivals-arent-struggling-with-female-headliners

This could also mean the Waeve could do a secret set somewhere, you'd be a bit pissed off if they moved a sold out show for either that or Blur to do a secret set if you had tix for Dublin though

Now that is intriguing.

You care far too much about this.

Lizzo is arguably a bigger name at this point

Shut up. Please. Even if few people think it's a good booking even fewer want any more discourse on Guns n Roses in threads not about Guns n Roses.

I just popped in to see if it was Pulp or Foos and now it's Blur.

I'd suggest she was more on the defensive than straining to justify, but either or. I'd be more fascinated to know who the other options were.
