Would have to be sunset slot I reckon, I wonder if this is the out of the blue surprise that Emily referenced in interviews around ticket day.  That Just got paid clip is enough to convince me they'd be well worth crossing the farm for, cheers for that.

Or as its otherwise known, 'the evening rock slot where it pisses down'. See Motorhead and Robert Plant.

AIN'T GONNA PISS IT DOWN THIS YEAR!

I'm picturing Sunday evening sunset 2010 as being the perfect setting for the top.  If we could just make sure that Fri-Sun end like that I'll be a happy old git.

The Top need to get with the programme and headline The Park like everyone else.

[Gnomicide]

Headlining West Holts against Adele sounds like a plan I can get with.

The ZZ Top car flown over the crowd before they kick off,  just like at Donington all those years ago.

[jeffie]

Lovely idea. Needs confirming though so I can start growing my beard.

(Swype on my phone put that in as breasts.....)

[CaledonianGonzo]

Sorry - West Holts is already being headlined by Sigur Ros, The National, LCD Soundsystem, and Adele.

'Ya know, I could enjoy Coldplay if they were headlining the Park'

[Spindles]

Particularly if you were at the Pyramid at the time?

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Oh for fucks sake. First time not going for donkeys. Then THIS happens...

[FloorFiller]

IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!

although sorry to be a realist but didn't a similar thing happen with Natalie Prass last year - a website listing her as playing Glastonbury - which didn't end up happening? granted ZZ's dates make them look far more likely, but i've learnt not to get my hopes up for this kind of stuff this early on

[CaledonianGonzo]

I think Natalie Prass was more due to her tour finishing on the Thursday night in Bristol rather than due to anything concrete.

Nah, Prassy announced a couple of UK dates right before Glastonbury and it seemed blatant that it was a warm up, and then turned out not to be. I don't think there was every any explicit Glasto mention, whereas this seems to be the real deal if they're putting it in press releases that are going to the venues.

hmm if not her then i'm sure it happened with somebody, because i remember the eventual crushing disappointment of realising whoever it was wasn't on the lineup

fuck it, ZZ Top are playing. pretty great for one of (if not the first?) self confirmations. i knew all our badgering would make it happen

[FuzzyDunlop]

Thry have a gig in Amsterdam on the Sunday. So I suspect they will be on Friday. 

Sub for MUSE?

third down i'd say, after the 'hip hop' slot - similar to Motorhead last year

[Martin Ashford]

Fantastic news if confirmed. I've only ever seen ZZ Top at festivals and they are a GREAT festival band. I'm thinking they are the Sunday tea time " not even rumoured" band that Emily made a big deal out of but I can easily see them headlining West Holts. 

[oneeye]

Beauty! I just sense that this year's clashfinder could be horrific; decisions decisions..........

Right, time to stop shaving

 

[Mezhyp1]

Hell Stage?

 

Though on a serious note, is this the best TBC ever?

[Rumblestripe]

Top news. I may never shave again (or perhaps just change my name to "Beard")
