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.

    • Looking like will be bringing a 2-3 month old to Glastonbury next year
    • Healey's first budget with be Oct 28th
    • Been going for 10 years. Wasn't massively keen on the lineup beforehand - although as usual after some research I did start to really look forward to it. We had a brilliant time, felt more like old school Latitude, lovely vibe and we met some nice people. We saw loads but highlights for me -   Lime Garden Florence Road Jalen Ngonda David Byrne - Not a fan of him or TH really but we went out of interest and it was one of those festival shows that you'll never forget. The staging was off the scale. Eleni Drake - Up on BBC Introducing, what a haven that stage is.  Westside Cowboy Getdown Services - Probably highlight of the weekend for me. Absolutely brilliant and have booked tix for them in Bristol next year. Everything Everything - They're my favourite band so I loved it when they were added. A great start to Sunday and met loads of their fans up near the front. Alex James Britpop - We enjoyed it and Gary Stringer FFS! David O'Doherty - Saw him twice, brilliant as usual. Self Esteem - Adore Rebecca and the show was as live affirming as always.   Overall, it was such a brilliant weekend. Beforehand we said that we might give it a miss next year but I'm pretty sure that we'll be sucked right back in!
    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
