Acts missing from line up?

Orbital, also surprised leftfield aren't on there but they are touring leftism in May so maybe waiting for that to sell out first.

They played in 2015 and generally Glasto doesn't take "album in full" tours.

Ah I didn't realise they did 2015. I got tickets for Manchester luckily, glad I took the punt on them not being at Glastonbury 

Well there goes my 90s ambient/electronica dream - no leftfield, orbital or aphex twin. Hoping future sound of London or Aim will pop up somewhere

He's working on a very politically themed new album so I can see him headlining Leftfield this year (meaning he wouldn't be announced yet).

Franks working on a very politically themed new album? Really?

While Green Day appears very unlikely now, they still have tickets to sell for BST in Hyde Park and Bellahouston Park so there's every reason for them to be left off the first poster.

Another band that you'd wonder 'where they'd fit' if they were still to be announced - unless they'd go for middle of the day on pyramid / other?  Doesn't seem likely

[Guy Incognito]

Whitney just liked a comment on their instagram where someone asked if they were playing so it looks like they're still on the cards after confirming in that reddit thread

[not worthy]

Do any of the 'exclusives' at other festivals really mean anything.

Future Islands where 'exclusive' for green man when first announced

Is it just exclusive up to the point that they announce elsewhere just to try to grab ticket sales? seems odd to me how fluid this can be

[not worthy]

Eels and Placebo

would be most welcome, both alt-j and lorde are playing the twin festival in germany they're playing.

but where would they fit in now?

RH, Sheeran, Foo's

XX, Biffy, Katy perry

Major Lazer, Alt-j, The national

might switch national and perry and have Green day headline other. I dunno if 3rd down in reasonable for Perry, Shakira when she played a few years ago didn't sub IRC, and she was huge back then. not quite as big as Perry tho

Anything on Everything Everything, missed them back in 2015, looks like they have new music on the way

Perry will surely sub Pyramid. It is difficult to fit GD in.

What I think it is, is the band is an exclusive at the time that they were booked, so really they are 'exclusive' per say

then that band gets booked for something else so they aren't. But I doubt future islands were booked to be an exclusive, I just reckon they didn't have a glasto confirmation at the time

Yeah - the plan had been to do a concept album about underappreciated women in history or something like that, but it morphed into a more politically driven record as he's very angry about the whole Trump thing.

I was surprised too given the grief he's taken in the past for his political stuff but it seems like he doesn't care anymore.

Great line-up so far, but the chance of Grandaddy being added still appeals to me.

They've just announced shows in Manchester on June 20 and London on June 21, so I think we can very much presume they are at the farm. YES!

I was really hoping for Regina Spektor

[bennyhana22]

Apologies if already mentioned - this forum is reaching supersonic levels of activity and even I'm struggling to keep up.

Would be a little sad if, by the time the full line up drops, there is a conspicuous Blanck Mass shaped hole in it.

You and me both. My inner cool cucumber has exploded trying to take it all in.

The Orb in The Glade on Thursday could be decent compensation. Assuming you can get in. I assume it'll be rammed.

Ray BLK ? ?

Festival feels a little 'lightweight'.  Need some more heavy hitters.  Where the hell are the following?

• Bjork
• Chemical Brothers
• Fat Boy Slim
• Prodigy
• Aphex Twin
• Daft Punk
• Sigur Ros
• Bon Iver
• Real Estate
• Chvrches

Really hope some of them will be added as well as...

• Blood Orange
• Mitski
• Jamilia Woods

Sigur Ros and Chvrches both played last year in reasonably high positions (headlined John Peel and second down on the Other)

Fat Boy Slim is there and as for Daft Punk....will it ever happen? Don't think so myself.
