Where though? The Pyramid is looking pretty full on the Friday and there ain't really an appropriate space for them elsewhere (can't see them being on before Major Lazer on Other...). Perfect candidate for a secret set this year I'd have thought.

I'm not really sure to be honest but other opener would be a strange slot for them, certainly deserving of a better slot than that

Park TBA when Royal Blood/The XX are on, like The XX when The National, or Chic are on.

I believe somebody on here met Guy Garvey and asked if they were playing Glastonbury and he hinted that they were. Only available on the Friday and haven't yet been announced, so if they are in fact playing it looks like it's either Other opener or possibly a secret act on the Park. But that's all we're basing it on I think (maybe there was more to it than that?) and it may end up being bollocks.

Ah right thanks for the concise summing up that all makes sense 

I was quite surprised they weren't on the original poster given the new album 

other stage opener would be perfect for me so I wouldn't have to worry about clashes

Might if missed this but a few weeks ago manics were Tbc on efestivals and now there only rumoured. Anyone know why? 

Neil got info that they won't be there so changed it.

Anyone know who this is? Apologies if its been mentioned elsewhere.

Judging by the official line up, it's The Pretenders

Thanks mate.I thought that the TBA was usually 11:00am but someone said it was 10am. So no TBA opener this year but a few more scattered across the rest of the lineup?

Dental suggested at one point that there wouldn't be one because they've got a special act opening the Pyramid and it'd be silly to have a special guest opening Other at the same time drawing people away from it. I guess that ended up being correct.

I see cheers - that would make sense. Looking forward to the Hacienda Classical so would've been annoying if someone good was in that slot.

Obviously they are otherwise they wouldn't still be about , just not really my cup of tea. More room for you to dance whilst I'm not there though, swings and roundabouts

No need to swear potty mouth, hardly an insult. Who are you Chrissie Hynde's grandson? If so could you have her log into efests so she knows I'm not insulting her band. I only meant as to whether there was anybody I personally would like to see over Hacienda Classical.

 

Enjoy the festival tevaburger.
