Glastonbury 2014, on the hill overlooking the pyramid stage near the medical centre.
There were other tents further down I kid you not on a 20% slope! I honestly don't know how people can camp on an incline! You could see all the items inside the tent had rolled and pressed up against the tent walls!

one girl was telling me her sleeping bag wouldn't grip to the nylon floor of the tent, kept slipping into the corner

What's the thoughts on the headliners so far? Are they the actual headliners or could we see doubling up like Beck/ outkast?

There's 4 acts into 3
The Strokes = sub?
FATM = headliner?
Hozier = headliner?
1975's = headliner?

Theres really nothing there for me, ill go to Hozier but Im naively holding out for one more act!

That's the original Body&Soul Festival main stage which is now the Woodlands stage.

I'd say The Strokes, FATM & The 1975 will headline the main stage each night but I would be expecting maybe two more acts who could sub-headline the main stage. Hopefully a dance act and then someone else.

I'm finding it harder to get excited about it this year. Lineup doesn't have as much as usual to interest me, less friends who have tickets due to it selling out so quick, probably going to be another 2 months before we get another announcement. I can't see the line up getting much stronger either due to who is available this summer.

I wouldnt be surprised if Billie Eilish is bumped to headline
whatever you think of her, she's the biggest act in the world right now

There are a fair few artists who may disagree with that. She could become exactly that but a number one album ain't sufficient. One top ten single (number 7) in the US and two in the UK (6 and 2) mean she has a long way to go. Her hype machine is intact though and for EP she'll likely be this year's Dua Lipa.

Synode · 06-05-2019 11:28pm

That riff is catchy as hell though

drunkmonkey · 06-05-2019 11:34pm

Not a fan but why do they keep grabbing her boobs.

rubick · 07-05-2019 10:46am

Are M83 touring at the moment? Nothing listed for 2019/2020 on the official website.

No.

They've not performed together since about 2016 and there's no sign of that changing. I think they released a film score/soundtrack earlier this year but there's very little else going on there, sadly.

West Holts stage at Glasto, I'd buy tickets for this alone.

Absolutely glorious, can't wait. West Holts is probably the stage I've spent most time at over in Somerset. Looking like a horrible clash of Wu Tang/Chemical Brothers though on Saturday.

A news report about a French festival Teknival where 30 ravers got hypothermia when it unexpectedly snowed.

It looks like the last Electric Picnic Facebook post was 29th April, just commented on it asking when might the next announcement be, we are a week off two months since first one, even if its some of the sideshows.

Don't do it to yourself!

It'll happen when its going to happen and no good in stressing or asking about it.
Yes, it would be great to do research on bands, but they've proven time and again they do it their way
