If they play Glasto then 2027/28 is the year to look , if they last to 28.   My hunch and it is a hunch is that Glastonbury got moved from an expected fallow in 27 to 26 in the knowledge of Oasis being free. A year falling with The Cure, Oasis, Radiohead would be absolutely no surprise and I can't see many being pissed about it. The Cure at the one I'd be most confident about.

Agreed. When you can see how much it means to an act, it also serves to amplify things. Wolf Alice that year another huge example of that.    The Streets and Barry Can’t Swim this year.    Crowd connection is key. 

Agree with all of this, the setting and timing were absolutely perfect for him.  I’m soppy too as you could see how much it meant to him so just made it all the better 

I think it's very hard to see someone doing justice on a stage if you've no interest in them.

It was a hugely cathartic moment. After the previous two years of sh*t, the buzz in the air at that festival just felt different.    It was the usual Glasto feeling plus 20%. We took our spot about 20 metres or so in front of the big tree at the back of the field, as I looked around I had this huge wave of emotion.  Finally, we were back.  We had a group of 20 or so Geordies to our right, in full on party mode.    Sam and the band brought their A game, the sun was going down behind the best stage in the world and everyone in that field was lapping it up.  In my top 5 Glasto moments.
