Who's Touring Around Glastonbury 2017?

[Gnomicide]

Last year Guy played:

Dalby Forrest - Friday
Sherwood Forrest - Saturday
Glastonbury - Sunday 

So no reason why they wouldn't do it, just means it will have to be the Friday.

No you won't, I'm not staking any money on them. If they are I don't see it being as sub, they just aren't that level now and aren't the band to get people up dancing that have taken that slot. Maybe a Other sub slot, it won't be JP headliner now.

I don't know how far away those tip two are from each other but I'll take your word.

Can't see three in a row being a problem for them really as they're fit young lads so fully expect to see them at the fest. It's Elbow I'm talking about by the way.

Important clarification of act

[kingcrawler]

I was thinking Elbow could maybe be a JP headliner if they're dropping down the lineups, although I feel like they wouldn't clash them and Radiohead for some reason.

for those interested 2nd U2 date on their site for Twickers, no info yet for tix but I guarantee same arrangements as before

[jparx]

Elbow would be one of the lamest options for Radiohead sub.

I'm massively out of the loop - how likely is it?

And it's Sunday 9th July with NGHFB support confirmed just in case it makes a difference to anyone: http://www.u2.com/tour

[SwedgeAntilles]

My time hop tells me it's a year to the day since this fake poster surfaced, will we get another one this year?

if Elbow are back this year, I reckon it's about certain as there's not really anywhere else to put them.

Tho my take is that this will be a year off for Elbow at Glastonbury.

That's what we like to hear  Hopefully you're on the money Neil.

I think Elbow could play 3rd down. But with only the Friday as an option and people thinking The XX seem to be favourites for Radiohead sub I really cant see it.
For some that would be the dullest top 3 ever.

No chance they headline other?

Edit: Just realised they can only play Friday so there is definitely no chance of playing Other up against RH.

I can see Elbow subbing radiohead, might be that The XX go as other stage headliners against Foos maybe?

[SwedgeAntilles]

The xx have to be a sub. Only other possibility is headlining the Other again and given the popularity of Jamie's solo album plus the anticipation of I See You I can't see them treading water. I wouldn't be surprised if the festival view them as a potential future headliner so a move to the Pyramid this year seems like the most likely trajectory. 

Subbing Radiohead seems like the most likely option although I suppose they could sub Ed at a push. Either way it feels like these dates have made it less likely Elbow will play.

Could they maybe open the Other?

I don't see that now. Now I've heard their new album I'm more set on them subbing pyramid.

It definitely seems it is far more unlikely Elbow aren't playing at all now. Which I'm seeing as a good thing.

[FloorFiller]

Fingers crossed for Elbow not stinking up the top of the lineup again then!

So Elbowing possibly subbing Radiohead? Or maybe they will be happy to play 3rd down on the Pyramid.

Most don't. But, on average, one or two each year end up playing Glasto.

Paloma Faith played the Pyramid Saturday teatime with forest dates on the Friday and Sunday in 2015

Could they not do Other sub if they played?

[thewayiam]

How high do we think Krist Kristofferson is going to play?
