Excitement is building for this year’s Glastonbury Festival, with fans already predicting a packed Temple stage, thanks to an “insane” line-up recently announced. While some attendees expressed disappointment over the absence of Pulp, many are thrilled by the latest artist reveal ahead of the iconic Worthy Farm event.
A popular Reddit thread on r/GlastonburyFestival has music lovers buzzing, especially about the Temple stage lineup. Fans are eagerly anticipating performances from Cheetah, Oppidan, and Baby J, but it’s the Bullet Tooth B2B Silva Bumpa set that is expected to draw an extraordinary crowd.
One Reddit user commented, “Bullet Tooth B2B Silva Bumpa will be unbelievable, very busy but unbelievable.” Others echoed this sentiment, with one adding, “Need to commit early and stay in there otherwise there’s no chance… got stiffed last year for DJ EZ, got nowhere near getting in.” Another wrote, “Line-up is too good. It will be impossible to get into as per.”
The “Barry Can’t Swim Presents…” set is also stirring anticipation – some warn it will be “packed” and question the suitability of the Temple stage for such an act. “Barry will be mental packed. Really not sure if it’s clever to put him on Temple. I remember the chaos of Fred again here back in 2023. Personally not a good arena choice for crowd,” said one fan.
Others noted that Barry Can’t Swim’s previous performances drew huge crowds, with comments such as, “He was rammed on Park Stage last year, Temple will be nuts.” However, some believe the situation may not reach that level of chaos, pointing out differences from last year’s sell-out performances by artists like Fred Again. “It won’t be anywhere near as bad as Fred or Virji B2B EZ last year. It’s a takeover with people from his label as well so it will last a while (6 hours?!?). That allows more time for people to go in and out. If it was just a one-hour Barry set on his own then yeah, it would be rammed and dangerous,” one user explained.
Many also urged attendees to read the fine print, clarifying that the show is a label showcase presented by Barry Can’t Swim, rather than solely his solo set. “It will be because it has the name ‘Barry Can’t Swim,’ and people read ‘Barry Can’t Swim’,” commented one observer. Another added, “Well, the labelling is there: Barry Can’t Swim (presents). You and I are avid careful readers, but normal people do not even know what a label showcase is.”
As anticipation grows, festival-goers are advised to plan ahead if they want to catch these standout performances at this year’s Glastonbury Festival.
