Why? Have they been announced as an exclusive somewhere?

Exclusive for Green Man (along with other headliners PJ Harvey and Ryan Adams)

Tits - missed out on tickets for their Liverpool show thinking I'd definitely be able to catch them at Glastonbury. Damn shame!

[FuzzyDunlop]

Bastard. 

The only plus side is I feared The Flaming Lips would be.

Balls. Can only hope this lack of London date on their tour means something else is happening. Something good. Doubt it though.

I saw him in Cardiff - utterly joyous from start to finish. Everyone out of their chairs, dancing. 

there were people doing that in bristol but he can't sing any more, his piano wasn't even plugged in and kept leaving the stage, presumably to take medication

I saw Brian Wilson in Bristol last year.  Most depressing concert I've ever been to.

I went also. I thought it was wonderful!

The guy's 74, has long standing serious mental health issues, and can still play a 38 song set. I think he's entitled to the odd break.

id argue that a 74 year old man with long standing mental health issues shouldn't be doing world tours and playing 38 song sets personally...

You argue that an artist shouldn't be doing a world tour with sets containing 38 songs if they're seventy four with long standing mental health issues  after going to a 38 song gig as part of a world tour of a seventy four year old with long standing mental health issues.

my position re:mentally ill pensioners palying long sets was reached following the gig, not prior to it

Unfortunately Out of upvotes! 

Blown your load early again?

No Future Islands is a kick to the scrotum. 

[FrancisH]

I know Neil has put it on his article, and maybe I'm being dense here - but I can't find any reference to Future Islands, Ryan Adams or PJ Harvey being exclusives on the Greenman site?

Edit: wait, found it. Fuck you Greenman.

So that’s three headliners! And you won't see any of them at ANY other UK festival this year.

I thought innuendos were the whole point of the internet,

Nah, even I was annoyed at myself after posting that.

Thats quite something for a festival of Green Man's size to get three exclusive headliners.

Not blown away by the rest though, some good stuff there don't get me wrong - But they must have paid a fair bit for exclusivity on those three at the cost of quality further down.

Conor Oberst would be fantastic from that Green Man line up.

The Zombies have just announced they are doing Odessey & Oracle in full at London Palladium in September, Think this is their last tour and they are at Primavera Sound - Barca in May. Would love to see them perform that album at Glastonbury, reckon it's the last chance to do so..

 

Edit - tix on sale tomorrow 10am.

They played a couple of years ago on Avalon so I doubt they'd be back again so soon. Annoyingly they clashed with Belle & Sebastien last time so I missed them.

I watched the first half, and then cut across to the end of B&S. I would love them to do the album straight, at Avalon they were doing a career spanning set, so we were listening to a cover of Heard It Through The Grapevine because one of the band members had played on a version of it once in the US, they talked an awful lot between songs too, it was a bit of a cheese fest tbh .... I waited for a trio off the album and left on a high.

Do they specify whether it's the Odyssey & Oracles line-up or the current touring band?

I saw the former do their 'Final EVER Performances of Odyssey & Oracle' tour about 4 or 5 years ago.
