[Smeble]

Jamiroquai added 23rd June to 02 gigs.

Fleetwood Mac playing a US festival in mid-July.

 

......does Ed Sheeran do much running around the stage while playing guitar? *prays*

Sunday or nothing then! Still sticking with them being WH headliner, although for the sake of clashes earlier on the Pyramid would probably be better for me.

Well, I've just had a bit of info that suggests it's not Ed.

It's much more likely that it's just someone in the know avoiding spilling the beans with a denial, but it's not impossible they're telling truth, I guess.

It not being Ed after all of this would be the biggest Glastonbury shocker yet.

(But of course it is him).

Ed could announce his own gig for 25th June at this point and I'd still be convinced he was headlining the pyramid.

I would be amazed if it isn't, it just seems a perfect fit for the festival to book him for the Sunday

Ed's been asked about Glastonbury ad nauseam and always skirts around the issue. I'm sure he would have denied it by now if it wasn't happening.

[p.pete]

Any chance of Ed playing but not headlining?  Once he's headlined then there's nowhere else to go at the festival, so maybe asked for a lower pyramid slot...  

Less Ed the better - let him headline and bugger off I say 

Edit: bugger off like coldplay and muse probably :s

I'd be amazed if it wasn't ed, but IF it's true, who else could it be? Green Day's the only name that springs to mind

Green Man house band, absolutely fucking wonderful. It would be weird seeing them at another festival, but yeah they've got the pedigree for all sorts of slots, could even see them as a West Holts opener.

Nobody in the history of ever have ever done a good cover of a Bjork song, it's just impossible, don't try to cover Bjork, nobody benefits. But there's one exception, this is excellent.
 

They're also prone to rolling out exceptional covers of Daydreaming by Darkdarkdark and Ritual Union by Little Dragon, and giving the originals a run for their money. Can't say enough good things about them.

Talking of vocal covers bands, these fellas are active in June this year:

Lush stuff.

There is zero chance that Glastobury will be headlined by Radiohead, Foo Fighters and Green Day.

More chance of Gaga or what I'm guessing Neil was hinting at by commenting on a Fleetwood mac mention (although that might be me missing the point completely)

This Is The Kit just added another summer festival appearance.  Folk by the Oak on July 17th.

In news absolutely no one wanted, Ricky Wilson just confirmed on twitter that he's taking time off radio x over the summer to play festivals. What a treat.

That's a lie, the people that listen to radiox wanted to hear that

I stand corrected

Robyn's show supporting the xx was her playing remixes of her stuff. It was good, but she ended with a straight version of With Every Heartbeat and it just reminded me of what we were missing out on. A regular set would be much preferable.

[FloorFiller]

Christ the crowd is gonna be absolutely worn out between watching Ricky and Dave leg it across the Pyramid stage and screaming 'whoooooaaaaaa' within a matter of hours of each other. Hope the festival is planning on providing the Gatorade.

I know she's been working on other stuff but she needs to release a proper Body Talk follow up and needs to tour/play Glastonbury again.

better hope Billy Joe and the Green Day lads don't play and wear them out first with their "I said a heeeeeeeyyyy-ooooooooohhh"s

See that the Thurston Moore Group have announced a show in Hove on the Friday of Glasto. Probably nothing but it does seem otherwise randomly scheduled in conjunction with their tour.

[jparx]

I'll definitely have some of that. Park stage would be ace.

[TimelessEG]

Fat Freddys Drop playing Europe dates around the festival, would love to see them down the farm!

mostly just wanted a chance to share this brace of photos

Looks like he's about to be tasered.
