Hawley headlining the park? Can't see that.

no idea where John Grant will be. If i had to punt, early afternoon Pyramid.

Hope you're right about Grant. I'm seeing him in Birmingham so he's not a top priority, but I'd be delighted if he got a crack at the Pyramid. Reckon he'll be on Other about 3 or 4 though.

As for Hawley, he's been pretty negative about the festival in the past, so I'm just thinking he's been offered a nice slot to change his mind.

If it's not either of them then I think it's someone not on the poster. Probably someone great like TVOTR, we know how much the bookers like to piss us off

I shouldn't use the word disappointed about anything to do with the privilege that it is for me to go to Glastonbury, so I won't. But, I was really looking forward to seeing SR outside in the dark. There's something ethereal and almost mythical about both band and venue that would have made that all the more special for me.

My worries now as to, as people have said, where that leaves EITS, and who the general subs will be - I can foresee a bit of a mad dash from wherever else I am to get a nice spot for SR...or even be faced with a potential clash decision, now that the Friday Park/WH headline slots are back in the mix!

Just give me the goddamn full line-up already!

yeah i'm with you - every image i had of myself seeing Sigur Ros was me stood outside with the night's sky and stars up above. in a tent just doesn't seem quite right, although russy's comment on JP headliners being better than Park headliners is comforting. the atmosphere in that tent will be electrifying 

EITS's position is a real mystery. this Bowie tribute on the Saturday has made an already cramped lineup seem even more cramped

I think EITS might end up being on before the Bowie tribute, avoids the obvious Sigur Ros clash and they'd still be playing when it's fairly dark

yeah makes sense. i reckon they were probably booked to headline originally but asked if they wouldn't mind playing one below to accomidate the Bowie tribue

[SwedgeAntilles]

Could imagine EITS being given a longer than usual set with the Bowie thing have a shorter than usual set for a headliner.

If that creates a Floating Points clash I'm gonna be flippin' livid!

Keeping my fingers crossed for LCD on Sunday now! That'll be Sigur Ros, Adele and LCD Soundsystem....certainly a well rounded group

Headliner twins if that happens.

likewise, and if the special guest before Adele does indeed turn out to be pretty special then all the better, couldn't ask for much more!

[When Jokers Attack]

Never seen a John Peel headliner so happy with this.

[Yokel Again]

Didn't the say the Bowie thing was going to be later in the night? I remember one year seeing Spiritualized up there with an orchestra and it was very quiet (soundwise). Everyone was just sitting around chilling. Think it was after the Arctic Monkeys in 2007??

said it would go on late in to the night but not necessarily what time it was starting, so i guess it could start after the headliner

I've never seen a single act on John Peel and now I might be seeing two of my headliners there.

Who is the other one? Not been paying much attention to the speculation of who is playing where.

They seem to have reformed with a new lineup. 

And Mr Matey's definitely had plastic surgery.

The poppier direction of the new album required a youthful makeover for the lot of them.

This should clear up where Underworld are now anyway.
