We went ahead and booked it too! Any idea when they release their line up?
This year it was Jan 25th, so I expect it to be similar next year.

I’m really lucky I got Glasto tickets this year but I will still be at Kendal, it’s the best!

This is our first choice! Never been before - we plan on taking our kids and heard it’s a good family festival.
It is, I can’t wait to go again next year. You’ll love it, especially with kids. Victorious is another great festival for families, but camping is off site so not as easy as Kendal.

Oh god, did enough of Reading and Leeds when I was younger 🤣

I’ve actually never heard of Deer Shed and I love visiting North Yorkshire so will check it out. The line up for this year looks good but my baby is 5 months so won’t be doing it until next year 😢
Wilderness is brilliant ( a bit pricey )

Just in case anyone wants to head back to the times where we were all obsessed with Mongolian folk metal 🤘 - The Hu's set from last year is now on Spotify / other streaming services!

It seems a shame that they couldn't have booked at least one of the artists already on a rare tour. Madonna, Stevie Wonder and Metallica would have been amazing.
Metallica were so bad at Download last year, both sets. I’m glad it’s not them, but I’d have loved Madge or Stevie Wonder

James apparently self confirmed both at a recent gig and on R2, rumours are that they are opening Other stage (fingers crossed it’s more upbeat than in 2016!)

I haven’t seen Kasabian since Tom left, I would definitely be up for a bit of bouncing to LSF (unless they play Sun in which case I’m sitting at the back of the field admiring those with stamina)

There’s also an Elbow shaped hole, new album and tour, surely Guy won’t be handing that Pyramid sunset slot over to another?

The Smile for Park tba? Rumours are KOL for Woodsies tba, I was still hoping Pulp were the tba last year even after Rick Astley wandered on in that powder blue suit 😂
Heavy rumours are the Killers, Kasabian and Green Day for ‘secret sets’

What a disappointing set of headliners! Not interested in any of them.

Still trying for tickets and hoping the line up has better acts!
The crapper the headliners means all the better to be able to avoid the crush that is the Pyramid field! Fingers crossed you (and I get tickets) and hopefully see you on the barrier at Woodsies for the good stuff!

As a 14 year old GnR were my favourite band, they just don't do it for me at nearly 50 🤣🤣

Exactly what I’ve said to my husband! We’re hoping to take the kids (for now…might change our minds 🤣) and it means we don’t have to face the pyramid crowds. Good luck!!

I’m going for the 13 time and tbh am pretty disappointed with the headliners. It’s turning very poppy these days and very much lacking rock and indie. Having said that, I’ll prob watch Coldplay for the 3rd headline time for me and then spend time at the other stages more. There’s actually some half decent bands lower down on the poster, it’s just the headliners that are nearly all shit this year!

I don’t know whether to try in the resale or just go to a different festival. They need to do a ballot system tbh but as long as they’re selling out, they don’t really care who got a ticket and who didn’t.
Kendal calling - it’s like a mini glasto!

According to the forums they were in talks with Madonna for ages, they fell thro a few weeks ago, they then talked to Stevie W and then Stevie Nicks, this is why we’ve had no announcements till now.

Sza was very much a late min addition and booked because over here for Hyde Park (plus she filled Emily’s promise for two female headliners, if it had been Stevie Wonder they were going with the we have a female legend too line).

It’s great when they do get a true legend, I loved the Stones and Macca, but I was probably blown away more by Stormzy is 72 years old is 72 years old so you never know!

I’m off to Jamie XX, Disclosure and The National, unless Chris Martin gives me one of those flashing bracelets that is (I’m easily bought!)

I love that tattle still adds the bit about Stormzy is 72 years old’s age 😂

Love a bit of Elbow at Glasto and he loves playing it!
