snailcheeks Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 For me, missing Iggy Pop, tame impala and frightened rabbit. Any views on the likelihood of the above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frightened Rabbit could maybe get added later, but i think the other two would've definitely come with the initial poster so are unlikely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tent was pretty full for that but outside was a sea of people. Quite a surreal experience. Skinner and the Tonga (Balloon) gang will be back this year, at the rum shack apparently (not sure of the day though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Was hoping for Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott, for middle/early Pyramid slot, after they absolutely nailed Acoustic subheadlining a few years ago (best performance of that festival). Possible reason that they are not on there is that they have forest dates to sell - or they're not playing because they have forest dates. They do have a nice free date on Sat 25th (or Sun) though when they are usually playing Fri and Sat of successive weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace56blaa Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 i was expecting tv on the radio, hope they'll still be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jed300 Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 So are all the other acts confirmed already or do we think that negotiations are still taking place? Is the process of releasing the poster with a handful of the acts done so to whet the appetite or is it done because there are things still to be agreed?

CaledonianGonzo Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I think a few weeks back West Holts tweeted (or maybe posted on Facebook) that their line up was confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lubic Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Disappointed not to see: Deftones, Slowdive, Crystal Castles, Purity Ring, Editors, Polica. And obviously Radiohead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one of those would be grand for me. Ben Folds would make my weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonOfTroyMcClure Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I saw Charles Bradley last night at Rough Trade in London and I'd love to see him added. Caught him during the Daptone Revue a few years back and he was phenomenal. His cover of Changes live is something else. Playing in Europe all summer it seems, few dates dotted about near Glastonbury but nothing from the June 15th to July 8th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Aka the answer to Why doesn't Bill Bailey ever play Glastonbury anymore?) Well there will be plenty of random acts scattered around smaller stages, because this poster covers just five stages of the 100+ there. But it barely covers half of all those. As for the rest, depend on your value of 'big'. I doubt we will see many more acts that trouble the singles charts or get played on commercial radio, but if you mostly listen to radio 2 you might see a fair few more 'big' acts. I have very limited internet access on a trip to Cornwall but has no one else pointed out that Spinal Tap were on the Pyramid recently. Not to mention Kanye, if we're talking joke acts.

As a proud Brummie I'll always have a soft spot for them (Villa Leisure Centre in 95 was my first gig) but they've been awful last few times I've seen them.
