Report

So many artists this time round who were so frustrating to miss the cut/no idea where to fit them in: Chappell Roan - still would consider for Pyramid sub/3rd down but no idea if she'll be there or R&L exclusive Pendulum - very much in contention for Woodsies headliner Weezer - mid day Pyramid/Other very possible but still so stacked to fit them in Stereophonics - Pyramid sub definitely but no idea if they'll take that any time soon my bloody valentine - wishful thinking but Park/Woodsies headliner would be unreal Nile Rodgers & Chic/Kraftwerk/Chaka Khan - too many great West Holts headliner options Anohni & the Johnsons - could defo see them on the Park Nick Cave & TBS - would absolutely swap for Loyle Carner, may change on the next one Jack White/Pulp - in the pool for Pyramid subs Gwen Stefani/Nelly Furtado - mid day Pyramid fun but I'll believe it when I see it Becky Hill - no idea whether to put her mid-day Pyramid, Other sub, Woodsies headliner Turnstile - Breakout exclusive? Would love to see a similar act but Knocked Loose/Poppy is wishful thinking Maggie Rogers - could defo see bumped up to early Pyramid but no idea if she'll be around next year Elbow - should probably have them but with Guy Garvey saying they haven't been asked, they're off for now Tate McRae/Gracie Abrams - could totally see high on Other but too many bands to sort around

Mam city - best bad team in the world.

Agreed, this, plus the fact that the Prodigy are showing up on lots of these other festival bookings does make it look like they are on the way. Personally, I think it would be a fun booking, both them and Franz Ferdinand. 

No, I was only told today. Same fella that said Rod was the Legend last week.
