[eFestivals]

Super!! That'll be a great night round the West Holts!!

except of course he might not be on West Holts - he's played on the Pyramid as well in the past.

I've been able to find out for sure ..... he's defo playing the West Holts stage.

This is great news!!

Many rivers to cross on the Jazzworld a few years ago is my favourite Glastonbury moment.

[Spliffman]

Superb

Friday night headliner round the Holts I hope, would much prefer him round there. Hopefully Coldplay or Radiohead headline the Friday on the Pyramid so I can give them the big swerve!

if U2 are playing, they'll be playing the Friday.

And having Jimmy Cliff on West Holts as headliner up against U2 makes perfect sense to me, so I'd have thought that's pretty likely.

Fantastic news, I was just thinking last night that I fancied watching The Harder They Come again

And an excellent set it was too on the Pyramid, perfect for that hot sunny afternoon. Do you know if he's headlining that night?

It was too damned hot - I was wilting right thru that set.

I don't know if he's headlining West Holts this year, but he's definitely playing that stage. I'd guess that he'll be the headliner tho, as it gives a decent alternative for those who don't want to see U2, and Jimmy will draw a decent sized crowd no matter which act he's up against.

[Steve P]

Sweet news, fingers crossed he doesn't clash with U"

[danbailey80]

if i'm being selfish id say please not headline as i'd like to see him and i'll be at U2, but this does seem the only likely option. a fine booking and a great headliner..

[4AssedMonkey]

Funny, but I mentioned Jimmy Cliff in the "oldies" thread as being my choice. Much rather see him in a headline slot though. Top class.

[Wanderlei]

Great news! Saw him in 2008 so i might give him a miss this time, depending on who else is on.

[fraz]

This is great news saw him at Rise a few years ago as a headliner and he was something else. If you don't know what to do instead of U2 (if he does headline) this is it.

[eFestivals]

Same here, it was great fun though - was it 2003?

yeah, I think it was.

[fullfathom5]

I remember heading for one the tents afterwards to get some shade. Mind you, it was too hot last year too. Bring back the rain - ha ha!

Friday night headliner round the Holts I hope, would much prefer him round there. Hopefully Coldplay or Radiohead headline the Friday on the Pyramid so I can give them the big swerve!

[The Nal]

you still might be able to catch Radiohead though, Nal!

I doubt that mate. They've broken up!!

[The Nal]

I swear i read on that same site not too long ago that it was Mike99 that broke them up!

[Lynne Scratch Perry]

This is good news!

1) I get to see someone I should have seen at Glastonbury years ago.

2) It'll be brilliant, and it's in West Holts

3) Definitely no going along to U2 because "it's something to do".
