Oh it's great to have this confirmed! Dancing around to Mirrorsystem at the Glade Lounge as the sun set on another blistering day was one of my biggest highlights of last year. Yay!

Yippee!!!

This is excellent news, would be good to have FSOL as well, but dont get your hopes up they are not touring, dunno why I even mentioned it, as you were.

I really wouldn't mind seeing System 7 again, and SH solo or with Gong, but I doubt I'll get the chance. Glasto 2003 was the first time away from home with my future wife and is where I introduced her to some of my fave bands - System 7, eat Static and the Ozrics - and she hated them. Totally, utterly, hated them. So, this year, our first back since, unless I can sneak off and leave under with Funkadelic or Detroit Spinners (unlikely) I guess we'll both be compromising and I'll be missing Hillage.

Hmmmm .... I'm not entirely sure the listed date is for System 7 or Mirror System - after all, Steve is playing as "Steve Hillage" on the Glasto '71 stage.

But of course it could be dates for System (in one form or the other) as well.

right, a bit of clarity, but not firm details as yet because they've not been firmed up as yet.

There'll be two System 7 performances, one in Shangri-La at 5am one morning, and another on one of the more regular stages.

There'll also be "Steve Hillage" - a solo guitar guest appearance with a specially composed Glastonbury Fayre jamband (which I'm guessing will be on the '71 stage).

There should be firm details in the near future.

Note that last bit - if that's not another indication that Underworld will be seen on the Spirit of '71 stage I don't know what is.

Sounds good - I've nothing on for Sunday night so Underworld on the Spirit of 71 would fit the bill nicely!

I read that and suddenly realized I've reached a time in my life when that means getting up early rather than staying out late

[timespeedsup]

Inbetween for that 5am set personally. May get through the night, may wake up to my alarm at 4:30am very disorientated and under-slept....
