Is it pretty much safe to say that it's unrealistic whoever is at Electric Forest will be at Glastonbury and vice versa? Might rule out a few names.

Kamasi Washington and Neon Indian  that's a shame. was really hoping they'd both be there. only other name who i thought was a big likelihood was Major Lazer

Kamasi Washington is the one I'm most disappointed at, I had West Holts visions of him. I assumed Major Lazer to be a big likelihood too after seeing his name being rumoured a few times by different people, but not too fussed by that, obviously they might still play but would be considered highly unlikely now I am imagining 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Gah.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Who are "String cheese incident" and why are they not on at Glastonbury?!

[CaledonianGonzo]

American 'jam' band of the Phish-esque sort.

Too few 'heads' in the UK.

An argument for pro-legalisation if ever there was one.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Slowdive played a US fest and Latitude in the same weekend a couple of years back so it is possible, if highly unlikely. Bad news about Kamasi.

[CaledonianGonzo]

yeah. it's not just him that would have to go transatlantic, but his whole big band. I think that spells doom for him.

Thing is though, where would ML fit now? If all those others are correct bar places then it's an unlikely WHs bump anyway.

i had Major Lazer down as a Other sub similar to Ronson last year, but alas it was not meant to be

I know but I'm saying with the recent look for Other stage, there is no space. Thing is even if you remove The 1975, you are probably just replacing with Tame Impala.

[FloorFiller]

Tame Impala will be on Pyramid if they're playing. Bastille, The 1975 and another for Other subs

I agree, I was just saying if anything did change, they will be playing though. I'm doubting a bit they'll be at Reading though, I wonder if it's seen by FR as a festival for them? Surely they aren't going to share acts with another fest and have them sub?

Tame Impala?  i think they'll only appear at one of Glastonbury or Reading. could go either way really. definitely don't think they'd be overlooked by FR though as the new album has been huge and they're clearly a popular band

they played the 'lost stage' at Glastonbury one year - and were fantastic. I bumped into them in the crowd during Cyderdelic's set and they gave me a tinny, toke and a free CD - great guys.

Surely they could play both if both wanted them.

they could but i don't think they will myself. think Glastonbury looks more likely, especially with them not having been announced for R/L yet

Probably correct, considering they are in Denver Aug 31st, it does leave enough time but you would think they will have broken off from Euro touring to start on the US by then.

Whoever they are, sign them up for Glastonbury on their name alone: Flosstradamus, Broccoli Samurai, Fetty Wap, Hippie Sabotage...and the already mentioned String Cheese Incident. 

[Time Being]

Tough go with Kamasi being there, but not as bad as 2014, when they had Flying Lotus, Cut Copy, and Booka Shade.

Fetty Wap sounds like northern slang for a sexually transmitted disease...

I know this is a completely weird out-of-the-blue bit of speculation but looking at Longitude festival past lineups from since i've noticed that at least 2 out of 3 headliners tend to play glastonbury in the same year. With Major Lazer ruled out, according to this odd pattern it makes both Kendrick Lamar and The National more likely for glastonbury as those are the 3 headliners for longitude. Let's keep dreamin
