Is that a bet in the form of a tenner to WaterAid?

And OK - ten pounds to WaterAid if Furman is a Park-only affair.

I'm not massively confident the Pyramid will happen....I'd just prefer it to.

Done. And I'd prefer it if he wasn't on the Pyramid, as good as it might be for his career.

Goldie Lookin' Chain playing Buryfields the weekend before. Now there's an act long overdue a Glasto return.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Think there's any chance Jamie xx will play again? Missed him last year so would be great to get another chance to see him.

I don't think they film /broadcast the first handful of acts on the Pyramid each day.

I can't speak for last year but in 2014 they did the Pyramid from the start every day, maybe only on the internet (?) and highlights but it was all filmed.

not true...and in fact that's the year and lament of lack of any footage (The War on Drugs) that gets the most mention on here

who gets filmed is firstly down to who the beeb would like to film, and then down to the beeb making an agreement with the band over them being filmed.

Any band can decline to be filmed.

Well everyone from the start on Sunday was on the BBC as I downloaded them all.

Cypress Hill playing in eastern France on the Friday of the fest.

Ezra will play early doors on the Pyramid. I can feel it in me bones.

Would've been a good shout for the Friday hip hop thing if that wasn't the day they were busy. Ah well, get em booked for the Pyramid anyway. Were great at Leeds a few years back

Too right! They've absolutely nailed it!

[dentalplan]

I always look at the acts and wonder why Boomtown is seen as the zenith of trendy youth festivaling.

[dentalplan]

OMG SO SOLID CREW

The line up is just the cherry on the top at Boomtown.

Edit: is it supposed to be for yoofs?!

I've always wanted to go Boomtown but the lineups are always shockingly bad for my tastes. Luckily there's a few standard housey/technoy stuff this year so I'll give it a go

Well thurr was a thread to do with Glastonbury and young people and quite a few posters seemed in agreement that Boomtown was the place to be for the festival experience if you're a young adult, and obviously I realise that may have little to do with the lineup but the actual lineup seems barmy for something attracting a young population.

There seems to be a lot of people my age round here (Bristol) into that sort of dub/reggae scene

The Heavy have announced a new album, with a tour to go with it. They have a few festivals in Summer by the looks of it. One in Croatia June 20th. I hope they pop up somewhere.

I suppose that makes sense with that kinda being a scene down there. I'd be surprised if there's any subculture that has youngsters going through old Levellers albums though.

[JoeyT]

The Lumineers release a new album tomorrow. 

I must admit I really enjoyed their set at the festival in 2013. (Just watched on YouTube and looks like they got a massive crowd as well)

I'd imagine tour dates will soon follow so wouldn't be at all surprised to see them back in June.

Everyone's getting on fleek with some well lit Shpongle, fam.

Parquet Courts are in the UK a few days before Glastonbury. please get them rebooked, they were one of my favourites of 2014, although it's hard to think of a more perfect setting for them than the Park so would be interested to see where they stuck em (probably JP unfortunately)
