So no clash with Arcade Fire possible if he was to play. That will please a few.

Indeed!

[Ruwise]

Yes. I've never seen AF live so do want to catch them. Happy to hear he wouldn't clash with them.

[suzie sue]

Hope that sinead joins him at glasto, he has said that she will play with him at another festival over the summer.

[tjamest]

QOTSA (2011)

Vampire Weekend (2013)

Both acts who have used the O2 Academy in Bournemouth as a warm-up venue before the last two festivals. So I'd say John Grant is extremely likely now, good stuff

Park headliner hopefully, not on Friday night though...

Not quite - If anything QOTSA used Glastonbury as a warm up for the Bournemouth gig which was on the Tuesday after G - Sorry to be pedantic

[Ruwise]

I know Sinead mentioned possibly playing Glastonbury again this year around Christmas time, If she is there and he is there would imagine it is quite likely. I'd love to hear Sinead sing Queen of Denmark with John's band.

That would be magical, what are her own shows like? Does she still play NCTY?

[Ruwise]

Saw her headline Ramsbottom festival last year and she was great. She started with Queen of Denmark and having seen both of them I'd say she sings that song like her life depends on it but his band are better so that combo would be fantastic. She did do NCTY and several other older songs. She seemed to be in a great place healthwise at the time.

Bollocks, so it was! I just remember them playing a Bournemouth gig in and around Glastonbury!

[Zoo Music Girl]

Just on way back from Roundhouse: absolutely amazing gig! Blew me away. Particularly 'Why Don't You Love Me Any More?' Followed by 'Pale Green Ghosts'. Awesome Abba cover too. Really hope he's at Glastonbury now - especially as my friend who loves him is going and couldn't be there tonight.

It appears that we were at the same gig! He was absolutely incredible, wasn't he? Pale Green Ghosts was a personal favorite.

Really want him for Glastonbury now.

He really was

Seems a lovely bloke too.

Awesome Abba cover too.

What was the ABBA cover?

I saw him last year and he was fabulous - really engaging and that amazing voice. Wish I'd seen him do 'Angel Eyes' though - one of the most underrated ABBA songs

I was really worried about this one. Never has a tour date list suggested Pilton more, yet this was the only evidence. Entirely absent from the rumours list, and with Neil being silent whenever he was discussed, I started to fret.

Never fear! He's playing and NOT the Friday! My clashes are going to be built around seeing John and Arcade Fire. The rest can slot in as is convenient to me :-)

[carlosj]

Really happy about this, as he was unknown to me last time, and I want to see him this time.

[Zoo Music Girl]

So chuffed about this! Why do we know he's not the Friday? Where do we think he'll be? Park?

Oh how I shall weep and then dance and then weep some more.

[coma girl]

He's the act I'm most excited about so far, Park stage would be good.

He's playing in Brighton. http://johngrantmusic.com/tour-dates/

Park would be the obvious place. In my little bubble, he's too big, but I've no idea really how big he is. The Park Stage headliner would be the ideal setting, but he might be a lower slot JP. We'll see.

Cheers! Hoping for Saturday or Sunday night Park headliner then.

You and me both. That's great news that he's not on Friday! Saturday headline would be ideal... oooh... hang on. Would rather not clash with Pixies. Or De La Soul... aghhh... already stressing about clashes! :-)

Edit: and Mogwai... and Robert Plant! All them and I'll be super happy!!! That's not too much to ask for is it?

Edit2: Elbow, Interpol and jack White too maybe?!?

Would stake money on John Grant not playing the Park. These days he's a way bigger deal than yer usual Park Headliners - Gruff Rhys, The Horrors, Cat Power, etc.

[5co77ie]

I'm hoping he's West Holts
