It would appear that Deacon Blue have just confirmed themselves for Glastonbury:

What is there to do on the last weekend of June we thought... how about Glastonbury we said? And so it was. Ricky... http://fb.me/1JoBgHNxl

(Unless the tweet just means they're rocking up as punters... . If they are playing it is excellent news indeed)

Excellent if true as they were superb in 2011- a highlight of my weekend. Have got tickets to see them in York in September

[4AssedMonkey]

That would be good. Assuming it's NOT Friday night headlining somewhere (I'm still seething at that clash).

Had a boyhood crush on Lorraine McIntosh. Who am I kidding, I still do.

Hope it's on the Sunday as I still don't have anything to watch that night so far!

[Jie Bie]

Sunday night in the acoustic tent please!

[dingbat2]

Sunday night acoustic headliner please

[helen-8]

They said on Facebook Saturday afternoon in the acoustic tent, I for one will be there

[bigbass]

oh yes 2011 was just great, ricky said it was one of the best gigs he's done

This is an announcement I have been waiting for. Every time they get played on *ahem* Radio 2, I have a little 'oh please announce Glasto attendance' thought in my head.

Just someone nudge Paloma now PLEASE!

[Krazypinkminx]

Happy about this

[rexclark]

Might actually pop along to see this.

[4AssedMonkey]

Sat afternoon? So that may put them up against The Strypes, Elvis Costello or the Courteeners - all of which I had a hope of catching.

Bloody clashes are getting to me already!

Grrrr.

[bucko]

i don't think its the full band. ricky ross is doing his own acoustic tour.

[ian the worm]

They headlined the acoustic tent in 2011 against Codpay. I would not expect a return so quickly.

Edit (One of the four acts I saw).

Probably solo stuff.

[Dougie Douglas]

Definitely one of the highlights of 2011, they brought their A game.

[not worthy]

New album back to best, if not the best yet.

Went to see them in Perth pre Christmas...oh joy!

4AssedMonkey...leave it, she's mine

[drewsstrat]

Great news, front row in 2011, have tickets for Cardiff sept, and raintown is up there with my favourite all time albums

[Morse Code]

Lovely stuff

There's no reason why they would tweet mentioning GLASTO if their not on. I wonder if they may get a Sunday pyramid slot as they have been there done that in acoustic
