Missed her for CATQ last time round which was an error, so I'm happy about this one

[CaledonianGonzo]

Should be easier to catch if she's not headlining anywhere - which I wouldn't expect.

She was great at West Holts, very small crowd which was a shame but meant I could get a perfect position.

Fontaines DC is a goer.

Aye, won't be doing WHs and don't see it as anything but Pyramid booking. I always find Glastonbury is within a decent chance of a solid lineup when it's completely clash free with Werchter as they can do both. When it has fell the same weekend then especially these days money talks.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Early Pyramid or testime other maybe? Or even night-time Woodsies or Park headliner

You know which slot?

[CharlotteB]

I heard The Corrs are touring again. It'd be nice to see them at Glastonbury. Granted, the tour is in November, so that probably makes it unlikely. Unless you see that as a ma-hoosive GSH 🤣

[CaledonianGonzo]

They're supporting Shania Twain the weekend after.

I'd say they're relatively likely.

The Fontaines slot

Can't think where to place them this year other than another Other stage slot, maybe a slight bump up from 2022 to 3rd from top.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Woodsies headliner mibbe

[internetjef]

Janelle Monae is still a pretty big deal isn’t she , couldn’t play lower than 3rd down on pyramid could she ?

[CaledonianGonzo]

If she is on the Pyramid I'd imagine it wouldn't be too late in the day.  Pre-Legend sort of slot.

[Gnomicide]

It feels to me that Janelle is on a bit of a downward trajectory. Someone will no doubt appear in a minute to hit me with some streaming stats but as a casual observer, I don't think she has continued with the momentum she had prior to her WH headline slot.

Agreed. For all her merits - and I think she's fab - a relatively poorly received recent album hasn't helped her. She's still never even had an actual hit. Not even Make Me Feel, which is a stone banger.

[dotdash79]

She's definitely moved towards being an actress rather than music artist in peoples minds. Her Manchester shows last year that didn't happen weren't selling well before they were canned.

[Ayrshire Chris]

Given that we missed Janelle last time we’d love to see her booked for this year.🤞

[FloopFiller]

Park/Woodsies headliner for Fontaines as the guitar option one night. 

Fourth or fifth down the Pyramid for Janelle… maybe even as this years hip hop but not really slot like Mary J Blige was that one year.

I feel she'd be perfect before Shania in the legend slot on Sunday

[CaledonianGonzo]

She would. Would be ideal for me. See Janelle in the pit and then stay for the line dancing.

The decline in quality from The ArchAndroid to where she is now is insane.

Might need to give the Age of Pleasure another crack - but the singles were pretty damn middling.
