What do you mean a guest appearance from Wiley? Does he not usually perform with them? He's the second biggest member of the group, is he not?

He's a member but I don't think (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) he regularly tours with them/appears at most of their BBK shows like Skepta, JME etc do so him appearing with them would be a bit special rather than being a standard thing.

Huh I didn't know that but a quick Google suggests you're right. I'd taken him out of my prediction because of having BBK in there but I guess I'll stick him back in now.

I'd argue the crossover between The xx and Mumford & Sons is much bigger than alt-J and Foo Fighters. Both The xx and Mumfords got big around the same time and while they're not necessarily similar acts, a lot of people getting into indie (in the loosest sense) music around then would probably have been fans of both.

Mumford are completely different to all of them.

Well if that's true I did not know that. He is a founding member so always assumed he was performing with them whenever they played live together.

He's signed to the label but I don't think he's part of the BBK band/act itself and very much has always had his own career outside of BBK (which until recently was going much better than the rest of them), but if BBK are at Glastonbury I'd fully expect him to show up as well, even just for a song or two.

Watched for the first time on the Croissant Neuf Bandstand on the Wednesday in 2015 having heard all about him on here beforehand, It was absolutely brilliant. A MUST see!

Unfortunately having headed back there last year to see them again it became apparent he'd become a victim to the getting on site fiasco and I didn't get to see him at all.

Will definitely be there this year (6pm on the Wednesday at a guess) & bloody hoping he will be too :lol:

I wouldn't say that he's become too popular as it's deserved, but the days of just wandering in to see him are long gone and you need to arrive early.

That's generally true for the Wednesday + Thursday shows.

But (for example) go and see him about 6pm on the Summer House on Saturday afternoon there'll be no problem getting a seat.

Noticed you just put Alt-J on Other Saturday, above BBK...

Changing your mind on the above statement, Neil?

they were listed anyway as an SR for other, and the only day they can play is the Saturday, and the info for them is Other. It's merely reflecting the rumour.

It doesn't feel right to me, but that's not proof that it isn't.

I stumbled upon him at The Spike on Sunday last year and there was plenty of room :)

Clash between Foos and Alt-J? Eurgh.
