The last slide on the post seems to possibly reveal the much speculated Glastonbury secret sets and even some of the stages you can see them on. Artists and stages named included George Ezra on The Park Stage, Anderson Paak on the West Holts Stage, Arcade Fire on the John Peel Stage, Green Day on the BBC Introducing Stage, Chemical Brothers on the Arcadia Stage, Megan The Stallion playing with Due Lipa, and even… Drum roll please… Billie Eilish joining Harry Styles on stage. None of this has been confirmed, and knowing Sports Teams playful notoriety, none of it has probably been permitted by the powers that be at Worthy Farm either. One thing is for sure though, if any of it possesses even a glimmer of truth then Sports Team have just dropped a serious spoiler. With collaborations like Billie Eilish and Harry Styles possibly in the pipeline, it’s fair to say Glastonbury just got that little bit more interesting.

The world renowned festival is now well underway, with Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis opening the gates on Wednesday 22 June and revellers pitching their tents and flocking to Worthy Farms luscious fields in preparation for the main lineup to begin tomorrow. This years headliners include Gen Z superstar Billie Eilish, Beatles legend Paul McCartney, and American lyrical sensation Kendrick Lamar, all of whom are due to grace the historic Pyramid Stage throughout the weekend. It marks the first time the festival has opened its gates in 2 years due to the perpetual cancelations and delays caused by the pandemic, but back with a bang now, everyone attending seems to be enjoying themselves, happy and grateful to return after years of government enforced lockdowns and distancing measures.

To those there right now, we sincerely hope the rumours listed above are true, and if so, that Sports Team don’t get into too much trouble either.

In a previous article on MXDWN it was stated that Ryan Adams would officially release this single in July of this year, therefore speculation has been raised as to whether or not ‘Gimme Something Good’ was leaked or not.

An article in SteroGum links the reader to a page where the track can be played, however it is met with a disclaimer explaining that all digital versions have been taken down by owners request as the official date will be 1st July. NME however has a link to a video on YouTube but this does not appear to be the from the official Ryan Adams site.

At present the new single is there to be enjoyed, but whether or not it will remain until 1st July is uncertain. ‘Gimme Something Good’ will be from Adam’s 14th studio album and the first thing the singer has produced in nearly three years with ‘Ashes and Fire’ being released in 2011.

It is always interesting to see what Adams will produce next, and in my opinion ‘Gimme Something Good’ is a good tune, very Adams-esk, but lacks the punch and fire that many of his others singles have contained. Nevertheless it is a joy to know that Adams and his music label ‘Pax Am’ have not disappeared for ever, and at 39 he is still producing music for his strong group of fans and followers. Perhaps his new music isn’t quite the same, but it is far from being bad. I believe it is missing something…Neal Casal maybe?
