Sorry to spoil anyone's day, but Ocean Colour Scene won't be there. I seen them replying to tweets from their hardcore fans asking if they were coming to different cities so I asked about Glastonbury and got the reply 'Afraid not'. Festival ruined for many.

I would have been surprised to see them anywhere but the Other opener's slot so not a huge shock.

It's quite interesting/amusing that they haven't booked OCS, Travis and Stereophonics again, after their last appearances which were very high slots. OCS 3rd top on Pyramid in 2000, the other two headlining in 2000 and 2002. Is it coincidence that the albums that followed in the years after were totally shit, and they never got booked again? They are all constantly booked for the likes of TITP and IOW every time they tour. I wonder if it will be the same for Kings Of Leon as well, who headlined at the perfect time before it all went to shit.

The only conclusion to this is that Glastonbury makes bands shit.  Or books bands about to become shit.

Not sure if its been mentioned yet but The Brian Jonestown Massacre are playing in Brighton on the 23rd of June. I'm unsure what their touring schedule is like overall but they seem to be heading to France on the 25th so im not sure where that leaves them in terms of likelihood of appearing at Glastonbury.

ahh damn thats a shame

[Splonk]

Maybe already mentioned, but PiL are in Bath on the 17th and Northampton on the 18th

Linky

Maybe too soon for a return (?), but I thought they were great in 2013.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Fuck. This looks absolutely amazing

[HoTWire]

Could the West Holts collaboration thing that was talked about a while ago be Big Grams?  I'd assumed it was Massive Attack + Young Fathers... but Big Grams would be pretty damn good.

Wowzers. Tons of acts on there that I love!

Don Henley playing two UK dates 25 & 27 June.

Sound Mardy's Eagles Claxon

Any news on the tame impala front? They are free over the Glastonbury weekend and touring in Europe in June and July ?

I'd love it if Dr Teeth and The Electric Mayhem came to glasto!  

[bethannny]

Frightened Rabbit now playing Belsonic, Belfast on Thu 23rd. Also playing Down the Rabbit Hole in the Netherlands that weekend but no day on that one. 

Hoping they'll do a stop off at Glastonbury on Friday and then play DTRH after! Fingers crossed. 

[fightoffyour]

Frightened Rabbit must be very likely to play

They'd probably go above Radiohead and Tame Impala in my wishlist.

Damn, that does look really rather good.

Slayer at Rosklide....

[Brave Sir Robin]

Lucinda Williams playing Union Chapel 23rd June, no other nearby dates, so that's surely her back. Acoustic headliner?

Any chance for Lukas Graham, people who are far more in the know than I am?

[lobo]

Busta Ryhmes just announced a London gig June 10th. The poster seems lacking a classic Hip Hop artist this year...

[Pbird81]

Bomba Estereo are playing Roskilde on the 30/6 

 

Only problem is that they are also saying it's their first gig of the year.... unless they don't want to mention glastonbury (crosses fingers) 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Would that be their third year in a row?  

And I've never managed to see them yet.

Playing in my hometown during Glastonbury and not playing Glastonbury... The ultimate kick in the balls
