He's not actually played live over here for years has he?

[Madmark]

It's looking possible as he is touring and doing festivals this year and there is gaps in his dates during Glastonbury..

[Guest blackcockerel]

After Parliament/Funkadelic last year, this was would be fantastic. Please let it be so.

[Madmark]

He is playing at the North Sea Jazz Festival Rotterdam on July 10th..

Just had a look on twitter and he's on Lauren Laverne's radio show. I've just asked her if she can find out if he's playing. I'm not holding much hope for a response, but this would be a highlight this year if he plays.

Freak to Freak + Brothers in hand = Very happy welshman

I would kill for 15 mins of Munchies for Your Love!

[jonbob]

Ahhh... the name is Excited, baby!

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Would be abso-f*cking-lutely incredible.

[Alcatraz]

He's just been on Lauren Laverne's 6 Music show. He's doing festivals in July. She asked him about the last time he was at Glastonbury, and he said he was looking forward to returning....

[Guest blackcockerel]

YES! WE'RE FUNKIN' ON BABY BUBBA!

[Guest blackcockerel]

I thought he'd be a shoe-in for West Holts but obviously not. Early Pyramid slot?

[Madmark]

Well with West Holts announced and his names not there, do you think he would get a shot at any of the other stages?

[Alcatraz]

Hmm, will be worth listening to the interview again when its up on iPlayer. I didn't want to explicitly say he'd confirmed or anything like that, because he said he was playing Festivals in July, then Laverne decided to talk about previous Glastonbury experiences. Still possible though

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

So did he just say he's looking forward to returning to the UK, returning to Glasto, or just returning?

[Madmark]

His name has been added to the strong rumour list on an unknown day on here!.
