They'll be there 

yeah soulwax could still appear. They are booked for Bluedot 2 weeks after which has nowhere near sold out yet

[JSmurphy]

Cage The Elephant, Liam Gallagher, King Giz, Tears for Fears.

[adjwholovesmusic]

No Thee Oh Sees. Boo Hoo ;-(

[tevaburger]

The Pretenders and Jackson Browne were two that I was hoping for, and I can't see them as the types of acts that would be left off a poster.

Katy Perry is a great booking, but I see Lady Gaga as the more talented of the two and was quite looking forward to seeing her. KP is even more mainstream pop than Gaga. I'm really starting to regret choosing The Specials over Gaga in '09 now, and wish i hadn't just walked by her 3am Club gig in SE corner later on that friday as well...

Real Estate surely will be there, just not poster-worthy

Ashcroft (again) and Liam would have been nice. I thought Regina Spektor would be there, perhaps she will be. They rarely put Acoustic Stage artists on main poster unless it's an Art Garfunkel or something, right?

Elbow the Friday 'surprise' Other opener I hope?

[supreme]

Really surprised to not see Liam... especially after what the other Liam (Fray) said!

[supreme]

Also Neil @eFestivals can we be assured that the Green Day dream is dead?

Otway needs to be on the first lineup poster.

Solid first lineup poster there

I know Otway wasn't booked about 6 weeks ago.

Leftfield doing their Leftism 22 year anniversary set, having reunited for it this year.  I'd be all over that!

Played in 2015 so unlikely.

Ani DeFranco and Martha Wainwright are presumably performing for the finger-in-the-ear brigade.

No Art-style heavy hitting names, though.

Bonobo?

Will be there, just like The Orb, who are a defo, but not on the poster.

Have faith.

I hope not  

[Acid_Haze]

No Bonobo. Was expecting him to take a big slot too. Hope it doesn't turn out to just do a DJ set. Also does someone think they might be missing a JP/West holts/Park headliner from the poster? They usually miss 1 or 2 big names (Tame Impala in 2016, Paul Weller in 2015, Ellie Goulding in 2014). This year it doesn't look like they've missed any Pyramid subs or Other subs like they often do so maybe a headliner for a smaller stage. Also who are the Pyramid sub? It looks like there are 4 there worthy of it. Biffy Clyro are definitely subbing Foo Fighters, then Katy Perry is probably doing the sunday. It's whether The National are 3rd down on the Pyramid on Friday or maybe headlining Other on Sunday? Or The XX are actually subbing Ed Sheeran and Katy Perry is 3rd down like with Ellie Goulding last year. I feel that would be really mean on The XX though... Beck definitely struggled and I hope they've learnt from that.

Wasn't expecting them on the first poster but I'd love Japandroids to be added next up

Indeed, it was top of my must sees, but the show was heavily aimed at the new album and was before the guys reunited.  The Leftism 22 anni show would be quite different.

True, but Glasto as a rule generally does not book bands doing "nostalgia album sets."

[willsnewman]

Erykah Badu? She's in London the week after.

 

Also ATCQ. 

 

Was also hoping for the Atomic Bomb band to make an appearance.

 

Soulwax.

[edwardjc14]

bit surprised we don't have an 80s act like human league or tears for fears, sadly cant see ATCQ

I'm thinking she's maybe held back until to end of May full drop to sell more tickets. (clutching)

[Slavivlad]

Probably has already been said but Rammstein. Where art thou?!

On a more serious note, Prodigy? Green Day?

[MetaKate]

I definitely thought bonobo was on lock. Bon Iver? The weekend with a secret appearance from daft punk? I was really hoping for someone to step into those lcd soundsytem shoes. Wishful thinking to see st. Vincent, death from above 1979, metric, wintersleep, arkells, but they could still be added

[simplyrob]

I thought we might get A Tribe Called Quest or Damien Marley, I did also have the Weeknd as highly likely in my opinion so that's a shame.

I'm hoping for Richard Ashcroft, Public Service Broadcasting, Crystal Fighters and DJ Format and Abdominal.

I feel like there's no chance for Gaga now but I'm sad because I'm not a Katy Perry fan in the least.

I think Gaga would only headline tbh.

I think she would work as an other stage headliner maybe against the foos? But I think she would have been announced already.
