    I can deal with that, but I'd add in the Fontaines. My expectations for the top tier are low but Tame Impala make up for the guff, Rage worth a look and Snow Patrol have 4/5 very decent tracks.

    Second tier should be decent but the lowest tier is where we'll find the best of the young Irish and UK acts. Add in a few older bands and the weekend is sorted. All I require is a dozen acts to look forward to and I expect to have at least double that after the third announcement.

    I expect Doof-Doof Representation from:

    Jeff Mills (Terminus)

    Helena Hauf (Terminus)

    Bicep (Terminus or Electric Arena)

    Difficult to call the Rave in the Woods, don't think they go for big guests anymore, well they didn't in 2019 anyway. Also the forest will be utterly impossible to navigate with 70,000 heads around so it'll need a massive restructure in stage setting, or other options elsewhere for late night Shenanigans.

    EDIT: @Stillill42's Post Punk Croon-Along, Under the Trees at the Main Stage After Hours could be a goer.

    The 2020 lineup does not inspire confidence it has to be said

    Deadly, I just listened to Bedroom. Very good album. They kind of sound like a mix of Slowdive and Deerhunter to me.

    I dont think we are going to get Tame Impala, im pretty sure they were touring in 2020 and they still wernt announced for EP


    I think, everythings a blur at this stage

    But jesus how amazing is it to have the underwhelming anouncement in the morning after all we have been through.

    Is she actually touring at the moment, you could be right its nearly a decade since she last played.

    I'd say Tame Impala are near certainties, they've a big EP-sized gap in their schedule from 31 August to 7 Sept. May be announced for Reading/Leeds also.

    I'd expect Liam Gallagher and Two Door Cinema Club, possibly Stormzy. Hopefully a bigger first announcement than we're used to. No need really to hold back names (unless for contractual reasons) given it's effectively sold out.

    Certainly is, Bjorkestral has just completed in the US, plus some Cornucopia dates out there too. Some European dates have been scheduled, including Blue Dot.

    EDIT: ...and apparently a new album on the way for late this year.

    I love RATM and Tame Impala but with the other 3 that would be a sad set of headliners imo. I'd like to see The Chemical Brothers rebooked and AM might be likely.

    Either way there'll be good stuff on the undercard. They should have been able to get 1 or 2 fun if not great "indie" acts like Foals or Two Door Cinema Club, a few of the good modern post-punk/rock bands like Fontaines DC, Idles, Just Mustard, Black Midi, Girl Band etc. and although I sense there's not many hip hop heads on here if they have rebooked Denzel Curry, JPEGMAFIA, JID, Little Simz and added Run The Jewels that would be great.

    Maybe my expectations are too high...

    Nice, an amazing live gig experience, i can’t make it, but did send this to some London friends, these 3 gigs will blow the roof off that excellent Brixton Venue

    Foals won't be announced until after their fairview Park gig or if it sells out before.

    I presume we're not confined to actual realism for our wish lists?? Grand so. I'll go for..

    Pavement

    Pixies

    Supergrass

    The Frames

    Yard Act

    ...Crowded House, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Big Thief, Aldous Harding, Sprints, Mick Flannery and Susan O'Neill.....

    And so on and so forth. But I'll settle for just being there. And you can quote me on that.

    Edit...oh, and Suede, of course, always Suede.

    Realistic:

    RATM

    The Chemical Brothers

    Idles

    Fontaines DC

    Denzel Curry


    Some unrealistic names that probably aren't touring at that time or have clashes: NIN, The Smile, Vince Staples, The Avalanches, Caribou

    10 Acts from 2020 lineup i hope are kept for 2022

    RATM, RTJ, Foals, Little Simz, Black Country New Road, Chems, Just Mustard, Magic Gang, Rick Astley and JV McMorrow.

    Think that would be a good start.

    If we get the Chemical Brothers it'll be for Friday, they're already announced for festivals on the Saturday and Sunday.

    Would love to see St. Vincent back and Fontaines will be a massive gig if they're there.

    Wet leg are a band I'd never heard of until the Glasto announcement, remind me of a mix between Parquet Courts and Pillow Queen's, well worth a listen to.

    Oh it's great to see all this excitement and anticipation, it truly is our own Christmas eve! I think Rage and Arctic monkeys are nailed on as definates. Rage alone will be such a rare experience to even see play. Other than that I'm open enough, oh throw in less pop crap and more folk/trad acts!
