You don't know him? Really? He's on here all the time. He's like you, actually but cool. He's kind of like Ace to your Arnold. Smoke him a kipper. Whadda guy ... :P

Phew. Nice post. I was worried I was on the going to be on the end of an old carp features vendetta :P

What nick does he does wonderfully well. I think there is an element of "jack of all trades, master of none" about bob dylan.

Although I do have to take exception to this "Jack of All Trades" rubbish. He completely and utterly owned the protest song in every way. You only have to look at Masters of War to see that. He also nailed surrealism and imagery in his lyrics to see that - and you only have to look at Desolation Row to see that. He nailed personal feeling to such an extent that it made Lennon and McCartney wet themselves - you only have to look at th words of Like a Rolling Stones to see that. And if you can think of a better crafted country song than Lay Lady Lay, you are a better man than I.

I love Dylan. He is one of my favourite artists. I saw him at the Roundhouse last year and thought he was amazing. BUT I'm not convinced that he would go down well at Glasto. The fact he will not be playing his songs in the manner and with the tune that people are expecting isn't going to go down too well with a crowd looking for a greatest hits singalong.

Seen Bob 3 times, Love and theft tour 2002 was without doubt the best, he still played the hits in a relatively familiar way and the setlist was floorless, i won't bore you with the details, lets just say he opened with maggies farm, and the last 2 where forever young and like a rolling stone.

However, the second time, still great, not so spellbinding a set though

Then again a few months ago on the latest tour, i was front row, so i was just in shock to be so close to a man who i proclaim to be the god of music, and everything in it. However, i can see how some people [possibly idiots?] may not like him [or understand] the angle which he's coming from.

Personally I think he'll be below u2 on friday, he won't headline, but he'll be the second from the top on the card, if he plays that is.

I would love to see him again, you should all be lucky to be in the presense of dylan, ... however i can't see a glasto dizzee rascal 2009 crowd reacting the same way to things have changed as they do to bonkerrrrs

jesus :P

There's no mention of Glasto on boblinks.com.

6/11/10 Prague, Czech Republic

6/12/10 Linz, Austria

6/13/10 Ljubljana, Slovenia

7/10/10 Venice, Italy - St. Mark's Square (unconfirmed) details

And the thing you posted had Glastonbury in upper case. How strange.

edit : what t0paz said.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
