Friend of a friend uses a VPN set to the glastonbury area… and manages to get tickets every year. Claims that is why he is successful. Could this be true lol?

I mean it may be true.

But them getting tickets and the fact they're using a VPN are likely to have minimal if any direct causation. The fact the VPN was set to Glastonbury will have none whatsoever (I'm not sure where the servers currently are - but I'd wager good money it's not within 20 miles of Glastonbury).

I have always joked that the See servers must be in Liverpool.

That wouldn't actually surprise me, now that I think about it.

Anyway, best of luck everybody.

I'm settling on Bring Me the Horizon, Doja Cat and The National for this.

Cos despite the cliche about the festival being full of Tarquins and Henriettas, the truth is that every other person there seems to be a scouser. One of the stewards at worthy view told me they call it ‘Scousefest’.

Definitely not. I’ve only ever managed to get a ticket in general once (today) and I live in Glastonbury. Same for most people here. I always assumed that it’s the super demand for tickets i the local area so less likely…..but who knows?

Mitski's had a good year but can't see her getting 3rd Pyramid. It would be such a dead slot for her. Maybe 5th/6th or mid Other.

Would be surprised to see Cigarettes After Sex headlining Woodsies and Rosalía would probably demand a bigger slot than that now.

Rest looks reasonable.

I went back and forth on Mitski being there - I had her topping Woodsies at one point, but decided she'd be of the zeitgeist for next year. Definitely one I had doubts on.

Cigarettes After Sex, again, were it not for those excellent live sales, I don't think would be near the top. But apparently have more appeal than I thought, who knows!

Rosalía... aye, you're right, but I just don't know if she fits any of the quote-unquote bigger spots. Might bypass entirely.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Rosalia is WH headline sort of level, but I suspect a bit out of their price bracket.

I’d be pretty happy with this. Coldplay vs YYY would kill me though, they’d be so good in the tent. Is there anything in the YYY, Tame Impala and Stevie Nicks rumours I’ve seen or is it more hope from people as I’d love those 3.

First two is just me throwing it out there, though Stevie Nicks appears to have been zeroed in on as a likely candidate following Emily's comments.

My mate was mentioning how a trio of Dua Lipa / Coldplay / Madonna fully cements a move to pop for the festival.

For the Pyramid maybe.

Too many seem to forget that there are other stages.

But of course. The festival has always been a melting pot. It's part of the reason we keep coming back, year after year. 

(And for the wit on these boards, of course.)

Woodsies: Two Door Cinema Club

I feel like if anything Two Door would likely be an early evening/late afternoon OS headliner now, would be really uninspired as a Woodsies headliner I think 

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's also always been a pop festival.

I think they did that slot a few years ago. Nailed it from memory. 

[Monty Pythagoras]

Now my ticket is almost secured, I want to see Nu Genea.

West Holts or Park.
