considering Craig David still seems to be doing this TS5 thing and not full sets i wouldn't be surprised to see him added later on

Stonebridge on the Thursday wouldn't surprise me.

Nor me, probably around the same time Mike Skinner's Tonga was on. The tent was pretty full for that but outside was a sea of people. Quite a surreal experience.

No St Paul and the Broken Bones yet :(

Wonder if Kendrick was asking for too much $$$ to play, or whether they're waiting until next year to book him to headline Other / sub Pryamid after his new album?

Just seems like a massive missed opportunity this year ... But as the rest of the line up is so good I'll let them off! 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Or BST snuck in first and bagged him as an exclusive and his management are actually honouring it.

i couldn't hazard a guess at why he wasn't booked this year, but i doubt he'll have a new album ready in time for next year. reckon come the next album he'll be headlining Reading/Leeds, and Glastonbury will hopefully pick him up after that, so yeah... in like five years or something...

Suppose, but ultimately that's the choice of the artist though .. BST may have offered him more money to be an exclusive, but he didn't have to accept it.

I mean, it's fair enough to disregard an exclusive now, looking at this bill, but Kenny had a midweek do in New Orleans and no June European shows. It was purely wishful thinking if you expected him to be there.

Why does he have to accept Glastonbury if they came knocking? What's it to him or his management?

Steve Mason. Still expect him there.

He is not playing unfortunately. He confirmed on Twitter this morning

He doesn't have to accept Glastonbury's offer to play at all - it would just be interesting to see if they at least tried to get him whilst he's around.

I'd like to think they did enquire. It all just seemed to make perfect sense for him to play this year, but if he's taken the money and the BST exclusive tag, then there's little Glastonbury organisers could do I suppose.

Doubt there's any Avalon acts on the poster so hoping they will be playing there.

Given their tour dates, they can't not be playing. Friday & Saturday still free.

No Faithless.  

 

Bullet dodged there..

[little_jim]

I was hoping for OCS with Moseley Shoals being 20 years old, classic album with the obvious festival sing along song. Who knows they may pop up, that being said Steve Cradock played with Weller last year.

I reckon BST probably offered him more and / or Glasto asked him too late

[Fabrizzo]

Air,Slayer,Tame Impala,Garbage,Iggy Pop,Deftones and obviously Radiohead...

Was hoping for Grandaddy this year, as they are reforming.  Announced for Green Man, hopefully that is not their only UK appearance

[cdm22]

I was expecting Garbage too as the tour dates work but i'm guessing they need to sell their tickets first.

Last time OCS played it was on Acoustic and there are no acoustic acts on the poster

Lovely lineup so far for me, missing Tame Impala and Sufjan Stevens for me, but can't have it all to be honest and very happy with what we've got so far.
