Sorry if it has already been posted, just looking on their website and Glastonbury is listed.

Lucky Glastonbury!

Seeing them tonight, shall be great.

I really think this year has a LOT of smaller acts that I really want to see such as The Low Anthem, which kind of offsets the slight disappointment I have for the headliners (they're clearly huge and good choices just don't do that much for me)

This is fantastic news! Saw them on the Park stage a couple of years back, and they were brilliant, saw them in a small town near York last year and they were even better. Great band, absolutely beautiful.

Yesssss!  Finally something to get excited about.  Seeing them at the Royal Festival Hall on Monday but seeing them at Glastonbury will be sweet.

Some  cast members from Emmerdale were in the audience apparently.

Just seen their Facebook and they say that they're on the main stage, supporting beyonce and paul simon......

I was at that leeds gig last year and they were f'kin amazing!!!!!  They were last night in Manchester too!  Spoke to Ben and Jeff from the band , Jeff confirmed that they are playing on the main stage on Sunday and indeed that Paul Simon is playing.  Think I would have preferred to see them at the Park to be honest but I guess they are giving me the first reason in the line up so far to go to the main stage, Paul Simon being the second!!!

I guess that it will be an early afternoon slot , so will have to set an alarm clock for that !

My partner would def want to see em , so in a way , that is good cos if Eavis put em up against White Lies then difficult choices would have to be made.  

Paul Simon is a good booking for Glasto , not really my thing - I think the oldie slot should be
Dolly or Coverdale

Wasn't it an incredible gig last night? Honestly up there in my favourite gigs ever.

I spoke to the band too and we spoke about festivals, Ben said warming up for Beyonce will be the highlight of his career   I'm sure it will, I'm really happy for them and it is a show that.must.not.be.missed.

yeah, I think that's unlikely, to be honest. They're not that big, not special guest material.

when did they play the park? two years ago? they were on at lunchtime and there were about 20 people there.

It was amazing, me and my mates recorded it all on Friday.  Three mics up top at the back on the balcony.   I just hope they can pull it off on the main stage, that's a big f**king stage. If they are on before Paul Simon hopefully they will bag a shit load of new fans to go and buy their records.  They deserve all the success they can get. Number one band to see at Glasonbury for me.

Think there were a few more than 20 people there!

Got to be honest, I'm dead worried about them on the Pyramid. I can see a Fleet Foxes style disaster all over again.

Hooray, you can see me there as the camera pans round.

Heard one of their songs on 6 music earlier. Really enjoyed it.
