It is very similar though, and a wowful booking if true. He would be much better doing Sunday afternoon Pyramid (just because I want to miss neither him or Stevie).

Anyone who saw him last year, is it worth forking out £40 to see him in Oxford? And, what sort of stuff does he play? Kinks, solo or his choral stuff? As I would mainly be going for the Kinks material.

I'm really happy about this. I had to miss him last year as he clashed with Neil Young. I couldn't miss Neil and he was fantastic, but I kept hearing how good Ray Davies was as well so I'm really looking forward to seeing him this time..a great way to end the festival.

Noticed Ray is no longer set for the Acoustic now. Where is reckoned now? Pyramid afternoon? And does this mean he won't clash with Stevie any more? Cripes I hope they don't clash any more - it would make my day.

Just seen on the rumours list that Ray is now playing on the Pyramid Stage so he won't clash with Stevie - SUPERB news!!

Could be reading way too much into this, but 5pm on the pyramid usually lies in-between the 3rd and 4th from top slot…

So…Sunday

Headliner: Stevie Wonder

Penultimate slot? (Faithless? Robert Plant? or....Coldplay...instead of opening up friday)

Ray Davies

Jack Johnson (Neil had a hint he might be 4th from top)

Rolf Harris??? His 2002 time slot

Andy Williams

Judy Collins???

???

(a pyramid day of solo artists)

obviously 5pm could be a typical Eavis error, but if it's accurate, it's an hour earlier than the usual 3rd from top slot, which means the penultimate slot could conceivably be someone "big" who warrants a 100-120 or so minute slot (like Roger Waters did in 2002), so maybe that's where...Coldplay are slotted. or ABBA...

    • I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.
    • MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.
    • Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others
    • From Magyar’s FB:   ”Our country's energy and water supply is stable. As of today, voluntary consumption reduction is no longer necessary. The turbine at the Paks power plant is generating stably. Thanks to precipitation in Austria, the water level of the Danube will temporarily rise by 20–30 centimeters. Thank you, Hungary, for the unprecedented national unity shown in recent days! We have much to be proud of, and much to carry forward into the period ahead.”
    • I hope it stays under £400.  A lot of us aren't flush with cash.  Charities are great but do they need £1 mil (I jest)
