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...

    • It does feel like there's a push back against net zero from both left and right, but especially the right. Probably since Trump I guess, but even before Trump you had the tea party and Sarah Palin thing, but over here the right were on board with the issue of climate change and the need to address it, from Thatcher through to Johnson. That has now changed, first it was the populist right, not it is mainstream, with Badenoch making the two prerequisites for standing for the Tories being against net zero, and for leaving the ECHR. You can be an ex neo-nazi as long as you are against net zero. At least many now seem to accept the climate change is happening and it is caused by us, but they now say well it will be a nice mediterranean climate so lets bin net zero anyway and just have fun f**k all that woke green sh*t. But also the left, with various trade union leaders and blue labour types going on about net zero being bad for the economy and the need for reindustrialisation as we head back to the glory days of the 50s when we all worked down pit or something, ignoring the amount of industries and jobs created by net zero. The greens obviously are still firmly behind the net zero thing, but the party is also full of nimbys who are worried about hedgerows and hedgehogs and votes, and even the leadership have realised that there isn't votes in climate doomerism but there definitely is in bashing billionaires and Israel. I guess the main driver of net zero policies in the country is still Miliband which is probably why everyone seems to be f**king terrified of him, the mad freak and his renewables. He is out of the energy department, but his replacement is hardly a petrolhead, and he isn't in the treasury doing terrifying things like spending money, but he is in the foreign office which is maybe a good place for him because climate change is a global issue and its going to take a global effort.
