who is surprised that certain artists aren't playing this year?

I don't mean all the hype regarding headliners, but the people who play quite often or have new material out.

For me it's James, Goldfrapp, Rufus Wainwright, Keane.

Ive got a list as long as my arm of smaller artists that aren't playing who have new material but not everyone can play

Chemical Brothers...but they can wait until next year when they have hopefully finally got around to ditching the 07 show they are STILL playing out live!  :P

Wilco, for the second year in a row i'm baffled. they play lots of festivals, always have a busyish summer tour schedule, but no glasto since '04! why?

The Waterboys, Sharon Shannon, Squeeze, Jools Holland for old time's sake

(obviously) Robert Plant, Chems

Patti Smith (only because she's playing another euro festie, so assumed this one too)  

any past headliner well past their prime coming back to play an early or late afternoon slot on the Pyramid or elsewhere (Manics, Suzanne Vega, Moby, Primal Scream, Travis) ... rather than just two, and both of them going head-to-head against Stevie Wonder on Sun night (Ash, Levellers)

Really surprised the divine comedy aren't playing (hmmm new album is not that great tho so maybe no great loss) doves kinda but they did play last year. Very surprised at no keane, in fact i wouldn't be at all surprised if they turn up somewhere.

I'm a little surprised U2 aren't playing either, I'm sure I read somewhere they were meant to be headlining
