I see subgiant are still listing themselves on their myspace page as playing on the 27th.  They aren't listed on the official line up so either their myspace page is wrong, they are one of the TBC slots or they are off the main stages.  

Anyone have a feeling one way or another?  I'd like to see them play.

I'd like to see them play too. Am waiting for official news.......

......but I'll be catching them at Blissfields the following weekend if it doesn't work out  

[eFestivals]

they're very definitely playing.

I was told yesterday that the details of the stage they're playing on are still being finalised, but should be along in the next few days.

It's possible that the stage line-up announcement will be revealed exclusively on eFestivals.

From their mailing list earlier this evening:  

Subgiant

@ Glastonbury Festival
Mindnight - Friday, 26th June, Joe Bananas Stage

The Joe Bananas sound system was legendary in it's day at Glastonbury, so much so that it got a little out of control and Eavis put a stop to it, but this year it's back at Eavis's own request. Featuring a stella line up of Dj's rumoured to include Danny Howells, Freq Nasty, Hybrid Djs, Eat Static Djs and many more.

But there will only be one live act on this stage and that's us.

And yes this is a silent disco stage. Now we were a little dubious about the silent disco/live band concept, but we had a chance to do a full rehearsal with the actuall system that we will be using at Glastonbury this year and well... "don't nock it till you've tried it" - the sound is amazing, it's crisp it's punchy and you realy feel embedded in the sound of Subgiant wearing those headphones, we were won over in minutes!

They'd better start fashionably late - not skipping the end of Neil Young's set.

Where's Joe Banana's gonna be anyone? Seem to recall it being diagonally opposite the Leftfield last year, but that's all changing this time, or?

GlastoEarth have got down as in the same place as the Blanket Stall - Just like old times!

Anyone else turn up for this or any of the Joe Bananas sets? I rolled in after Neil Young for my fix of Subgiant, and it was very curious to have to put on a big set of 80s headphones to hear them. Probably far more surreal was anyone walking past watching 50 or so beheadphoned people dancing to a beheadphoned band playing halfway up the clouds (or so it felt). Nothing new I'm sure if you've done silent disco but I hand't so all a bit surreal but it did work.  

Now why did that all need to be silent whilst Guilty Pleasures in the Queens' Head bar just a few steps away was pumping out something cheesy?
