This has probably been covered before... but I heard somewhere (probably on 6 music) that Seasick basically all but confirmed he would play this year.

I remember seeing him on the Pyramid in 2008, and I was wondering if he is playing would he do the same early afternoon slot he did then or, seeing as he is a bit more recognised now, work his way up the billing? I really enjoyed his set and thought it fit in perfectly with the time of day, but it would have been nice for him to been on a little longer...

AWESOME news if true - if you remember exactly where and have a link, could you share it? Not that I'm doubting you!

I love this guy.

I don't know if you use Facebook, but I'm a 'fan' of his on there, and someone has posted a clip of him turning up to an open mic night in a random pub in London and playing a song. It's brilliant.

As for the bill - he played several times in 2008 including headlining the Acoustic Tent. Same again would be great.

Incidentally did you read the NME review of I Started Out With Nothing...? Utter balls mate. That magazine is only useful in the longdrops if you get my drift

SeaSick Steve was relatively unknown when I saw him at Glastonbury 2008. Now he has been on the Brits :P I loved his little video about getting to Glastonbury -think it is part of the Glastonbury Movie (2006) or was part of the Glastonbury highlights on TV...

From Steve's Facebook page:

For all those that have been asking, we'll hopefully soon be announcing summer festivals in the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, and possibly more! I can't confirm anything yet, but we're working hard and have a LOT of offers on the table. If all goes to plan, Seasick Steve will be playing at least one European festival every weekend throughout the summer! :P

Ive seen Steve twice in the past two years, once at the 02 Academy in Bristol and the same venue in Birmingham, both gigs ruined by selfish people who talked through his set, if he is at Glasto this year then fingers crossed he gets a littl more respect for his great work on three strings!

      Ah, that is interesting and ruins my theory a bit!!   I think my point just about holds though, and coming full circle on this discussion, being a sizable band such as Muse and not being able to sell out two O2 dates very quickly or at all doesn’t fill me with confidence that they be able to do a decent job selling a stadium tour…although maybe if Muse do something about their pricing, maybe they can!

      2027 Headliners

      By sisco · Posted

      I’ve said it elsewhere too but Emily Eavis said a 2028 headliner was booked, to me that’s only going to be someone the size of Oasis or Taylor Swift

      2027 Headliners

      By mufcok · Posted

      It does feel very bland. It would certainly spell another year (my third, I think) away from Pyramid headliners for me. That doesn't mean they aren't worthy, though. I don't follow what any of them are up to, as it isn't my thing. Good luck to them.   You would think coming off a fallow year, they would want one big hitter. 'Big hitter' is obviously open to debate, but that was/is Madonna. Let's have it right. The eggs have gone in that basket, and it seems (as far the rumours go) that it's blown up. So now you're left with another plan B/replacement headliner.   I'm still of the opinion that Oasis will do it, before the Oasis thing is all said and done. Probably 2028, if they can come to an agreement. It may transpire that 2027 is bland (or at least to some of us), and 2028 is a bit... wild.   Again, though, none of us categorically know ANY of the headliners, as it stands.
