I'm guessing Frank Turner will have a full band slot on a main stage (early Other most likely) then Strummerville and Avalon acoustic sets, and maybe one more secret set somewhere (Leftfield, Greenpeace, BBC Intro, Acoustic seem the front runners)

I was thinking this may be the case and he didn't want to announce till the Ally Pally shows had sold out. Other opening again would be great.

I thought it was early evening on Thursday and although Glasto didn't announce it Frank did on twitter a couple of days before so not secret at all!

Sorry, I was talking about 2015 not 2019!

Their version of Love Will Tear Us Apart is a cracker.

Not sure what time Bicep are on (would imagine it's late on), but I've been told that Frank Turner's on at 4pm Thursday. 

 

Frank has confirmed he's on at Avalon at 4pm doing a solo set (no Sleeping Souls) but I don't think had said anything about his Strummerville gig as it hadn't been announced at the time.  Just checking this isn't a mix up?

I've never been to Strummerville, with an aborted attempt to see Frank Turner a few years ago.

 

What's the stage setup like? Is it just acoustic stuff, or do you get full band gigs as well up there?

It's fully amped and has a PA, but the stage is small.  I've seen 3 acts there and they are always stripped back/solo as opposed to full band.  Frank T was just him.  Ferris & Sylvester was just the 2 of them with a drummer.  At a push you might get a 4/5 piece on there but I think it would be a squeeze.

The Lottery Winners were full band last year.

That was a lot of fun!

Must have been a squeeze!

Not sure Leftfield and Acoustic have had secret sets recently have they? If I was putting money on it I'd say Greenpeace

I had a video of that but can't find it.  It was fantastic.  Love watching the Lottery Winners, they have so much fun.  And that plus Strummerville on the first day of the festival was pretty much perfect.

It really isn't a problem - just get up there for the beginning of the act before and you'll be fine.  It's a nice area to sit around in.  And everyone will go after he finishes and you'll be able to enjoy the area.

Agreed. It was so sunny that day too, we went up a couple of acts early and chilled here in the shade for most of the afternoon. Glorious! I would definitely do the same again!

As I said, I do it every year on the Thursday regardless of who's playing (though Frank and the Lottery Winners were a bonus).  I'm not sure I've ever made it up there on any other day of the festival.

Hak Baker was cracking up there last year.

Just the info I got from the same person who told us Strummerville line up out today, early last week. He’s playing Strummerville as well, unless he’s been given the wrong time for Frank I’m not sure?

If you apply lineup to last years times would be on at 5pm so 4pm might way be right if altered a little.

Love strummervile. Saw lottery winners there last year and Andy Bell of ride DJ set the year before. Good times. Not much jumps out for me this year though. Some research to be done

Just had another look and would try catch Royston club and fat white family clash dependent

Going to be rammed surely?

[CantWaitForGlasto22]

This is from Us’s social media this morning. Stage times for Friday. Hopefully helps other days too 👏🏻 

 

 

[Chip Batch]

Another Lambrini Girls set as a fallback option 🙂 

I'll hopefully at least make the Woodsies one though.
