I am very intrigued to see where and when he is playing. The strength in depth of this lineup makes it very clashtastic and Im hoping he aint up against someone I "have" to see.

My wish is for an early evening slot in Acoustic (never going to happen)

What I realistically would like is to see him in a decent slot in JP so long as they have the sound right!

Saw him last month at the roundhouse, really was great, and looking forward to seeing him at EOTR later in the summer. He's proper quality.

He's a proper performer - knows how to engage an audience - a rarity these days.

Would hate to see him wasted on an early Pyramid slot and would love to see him headlining West Holts or The Park.

In any case very good news!

I've got my issues with the Pale Green Ghosts album as I'm sure I've mentioned, but chamber orchestra arrangements of the best bits will be absolutely worth the candle.

Makes a change from seeing him on his jack jones in an Edinburgh pub just accompanying himself on a wee keyboard.

Got tickets to see him at RSC in Stratford the Sunday before Glasto. Just to get me really in the mood. I'm really interested to see how he goes in that venue - very exciting, if that's a term you can use about John Grant.

Surely James Blake will embark on a similar kind of tour in those types of venues later in 2014 though? I just desperately hope John Grant isn't wasted on one of the two main stages.

I imagine that he's playing the Sunday, four days in a row seems a bit much.

Given the venues he's just announced for his UK tour in November, I'd say chances of him playin The Park are now beyond remote:

Usher Hall is pretty much where Other Stage Headliners and Pyramid Subs play.

This is exciting! Really tempted by the Royal Festival Hall date.

    • I got in for £11.25 in the end, which was absolutely ridiculously good value, and made the queues and overselling of the venue much more tolerable! Sniping in on other people’s unwanted tickets on the day of an event might become my new hobby I think 🥳
    • Ann and Nancy Wilson are planning a final world tour for HEART starting next year. They were never at Glastonbury. They should do it. 
    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
