I know she toured last year but missed it, wouldn't mind seeing her. After You Tubing her 1995 appearance i think she would be damn good.

Add her to my list of:

Bjork

Radiohead

Led Zep

Stones

Florence

Pixies

I would however add that her latest album " White Chalk " is very haunting, written solely on a piano and a completely different direction. It reminds me a lot of Thom Yorkes Erasor, without any drums. This would have to be in the Acoustic tent if played next year, although it would be great. Although very very different its still packs a punch.

She has a new album? Do you mean the one that's 10 months old with John Parish?

Saw her twice this year, once with John Parish and once completely solo - without any other band members. It was amazing. It wasn't a cliched 'accoustic' set though, she was playing all the instruments one by one on stage. It was great.

She debuted a couple of new tunes at her solo show at Camp Bestival this year, sounded along the lines of White Chalk, might be new material next year

Would make a good Park Stage (solo) headliner too, though would like to see another big band performance by her sometime soon.

We are very pleased to confirm that PJ Harvey's 8th studio album ‘Let England Shake’ will be released on the 14.02.2011. The album will be supported by a run of sold out live shows early next year. 2011 will also see Harvey return to the festival-stage, with more details to be announced. PJ Harvey will perform with a live band which includes Mick Harvey, John Parish and Jean-Marc Butty.

Emily's a fan I think, plus Polly was involved in the Glastonbury/Oxfam Haiti appeal last year. Maybe a good possibility for this year then with the new album.

pretty sure the last UK festival she played was camp bestival 09 (i was there) and her demands were literally for every other stage on the entire site to be practically silent whist she was playing......

great talent but i think unlikely for glasto. if she did it'd have to be park stage headliner, and yeah she wouldnt get a big crowd.

A Park headline slot would be excellent. Ideal stage for her IMO in terms of appeal and setting. Plus it would be one of my fave artists on one o my fave stages. win/win.

    • I agree with £410. Looking at the rate of minimum wage increases which will drive a lot of the cost. 
    • Avril is the massive crowd pleaser headliner that would sell well on her own.    MGK as lead act would probably be a don’t buy tickets and do a day at trees instead for our group. Given second stage will be heavier and not our sort of thing.   Turnstile would be class. I’ve wondered before if there’s enough crossover for an Idles performance but would think not quite right.     
    • Is Zara Larsson even touring next year? Seems like she'd need new music to extend her tour.    
    • Given the assumptions and little bits around Madonna, that BST and Paris post is probably right (few weeks later than the original post).   Just adds to the speculation that - they thought they had Madonna, and now they don't.   I can see what's gonna happen here - they end up booking Oasis and Fontaines for 2028. I don't get a ticket, and have to get out of the country + delete all socials.   That would end me if it happened and I wasn't there.
