Acts NOT playing Glastonbury 2010?

[johntrfc]

Franz Ferdinand seem unlikely, unless there new album is finished in time for Glasto,(Based on playing twice in two years with headlining other stage last year)

Yeth. Thomeone thould thart one about Thom.

Why can't he spell?

[MEGABOWL]

There's a lot of blind speculation going on in this thread to be honest. Just because bands/artists aren't touring doesn't mean they won't play the odd festival (including Glasto). Just because bands/artists aren't playing festivals doesn't mean they won't play Glasto's 40th...(for example, DCFC will supposedly be playing later in the year, just nothing released yet, Arcade Fire have no tour dates planned, but many seem to think they'll play (I'd be surprised), and SFA turn up lots of times so I'd hope to see them at the 40th!)...

I think what Bort was suggesting here was for us to list bands DEFINITELY not playing (ie, the band themselves have ruled it out, their tour pages show they are playing somewhere else, or one of the eavii has ruled them out).

So, easiest way to keep track of things is to post a link to the source of the info when naming the band/artist...

eg Bowie http://www.nme.com/news/david-bowie/48616

Though WTF does the NME know!

To be fair, spelling 'Thom' that way actually makes more sense than spelling it 'Tom', probably 9 times out of ten their full name is 'Thomas', so I never get why in shortening it they remove the h..my name is David, I tend to shorten it, but I'm not about to shorten it to Dve...when you think about it Thom makes more sense than Tom (unless the person is called Tomas..)

You know, you try and be helpful, go to all that effort of spending a whole 17 minutes typing band names into a Search Engine, and what do you get? No gratitude, nothing, people today don't know they're born mumble grumble etc. etc.

PORTISHEAD

SNOW PATROL

DUFFY

RAZORLIGHT

Q-TIP

BOB DYLAN

SUPER FURRY ANIMALS

LITTLE BOOTS

MIA

THE WOMBATS

THE CORAL

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

THE PRETENDERS

TV ON THE RADIO

PHISH

Fact The Strokes. Have said they're doing Rockness and Isle Of White and that's it. Sounds like we'll probably get Julian Casablancas solo though.

Wild speculation: Based on having had a Doherty solo or Babyshambles set for what seems like the last five years I'd say that was pretty unlikely and all. Playing multiple times in one year doesn't usually rule acts out from doing two consecutive years though so I'd be less likely to rule out White Lies on that basis.

[MEGABOWL]

Sorry mate, wasn't picking on you!

[Macca3031]

I think we might see De La Soul and Q-Tip. Q-Tip said he wants to come back this year (whether he gets asked to or not is a different matter I suppose) and De La Soul were on the Q lineup last year weren't they? Maybe there was a mix up and they couldn't play but they could now?

I can hope so anyway.

The Coral releasing an album this year (hopefully before the summer festival season). Found this on their myspace:

So, we can't rule them out yet
