Had a quick check of Lana DelitRey's website after she was announced for Electric Picnic, she's playing Moscow in July. Could see be a shout for a Pyramid slot? 

I caught the end of her set as I arrived for Percy, man alive It was dull. Possibly the worst thing I have witnessed at Glastonbury. Even The New Forbidden were better.

I really like Lana del ray but I purposely avoided this set as just thought she would have been lost on the Pyramid, at her own gigs she is superb, as she has a fantastic spine tingling voice

[Gnomicide]

I can see how it would work in a smaller venue but one dreary ballad after another just didn't work on such a large stage.

Thank god there's no chance of anyone like that ever hea..... uh oh.

[FakeEmpire]

Different strokes and all that.

I absolutely loved Lana's set.  I thought she'd be completely lost on the Pyramid.  I remember that, initially, efests had her rumoured as a West Holts headliner and I was really disappointed when this turned out to be wrong.  Fortunately, I thought she absolutely nailed the Pyramid slot.  One of the biggest crowds of the weekend as well.

I've only really listened to Born To Die, had it on again this morning on the way into work and it remains a decent pop album. Never seen her live though. If she was on and not clashing I'd definitely go along. 

I probably fancy her a bit aswell.

Well I thought R&L had an argument for worst so far......I stand corrected.

Isn't R&L meant to be a slight step up from Latitude?

Looks like Frightened Rabbit could and should crop up again. They were excellent in the JP tent last time, so i'd love to see them play near the top of The Park bill.

I'd love to see them on the Park. Sub would seem to fit their profile coming in with a new album but I think they are far more likely to play 4th or 5th down on the Other Stage.

It is....but that doesn't mean it's going to deliver a better lineup. Afterall, Latitude won best lineup in something either last year or the year before.

Hudson Mohawke' US tour finishes on the 17/6, perfect timing for him to come back and play Glastonbury before going to Europe

 

im a tit, he's back way before that, but does have 1 festival in the US 17/6 and then a Glastonbury gape

They were fourth on the JP just before Bastille rammed it last time. I was very bemused when the tent started filling out as I hadn't heard of Bastille before. It's almost a shame that this isn't still the case.

Yeah I clocked that. Gonna check out the new album first because if it's as watered down as the lead single and/or as bad as Wolf's Law then sod it.

The one they played on Radio Wales the other week was suuuuuuper, like first album level good. 

I dunno if the fact its not on the album bodes well or not, though.

Saw St Paul and the Broken Bones are paying Tuesday 21st and Weds 22nd June in the UK - surely a certianty for Glastonbury based on this? Saw them at End of The Road a few years ago and they were GREAT fun - would be ace on West Holts or maybe the Park. 

This here tweet was liked by whowver does their Twitter, I'm taking that as a confirmation

Lucinda Williams tour returns to the UK early July. She'd be a good shout as an acoustic stage headliner.

Nick Mulvey has been announced for the Mumford BST date

I liked the last Joy Formidable album... Whoops! Hope they pop up.

it was alright, but the first album pisses all over it so i couldn't help be a little disappointed. hope the new one returns to that sound

[siweltrebor]

They are playing in London on my birthday so if i'm not in Barcelona that particular day then I'll defo be there.

They are also now playing the song 'The Leopard and the Lung' live which they didn't previously, my favourite track off the last album.

Didn't like the first single off the new album though, made very little impression on me, I much prefer their longer tracks that take you on a bit of a journey, even then the early versions of stuff that ended up on the first album lost some of their magic in the studio cleaning up of the tracks.

Also they are doing additional Acoustic performances pre gig at some of these tour dates, so it's basically two gigs for the price of one, particularly good if the songs in the acoustic performances are different to the ones played in the main set. Great for the fans.

Would love to see him at Glastonbury. Mesmerising live.

Everyone. Please keep your fingers crossed for a Pyramid/Other Stage slot!
