Bravo Dentalplan, great find

[DL50]

I will definitely try and see Sharon Van Etten even though I doubt I will be able to get my friends into her

Where do people think she would play? Somewhere late afternoon on John Peel or The Park??

[Mardy]

it's a sign of how desperate we all are for info/something positive that people are jumping on this Sharon Von Etten annoucement so much. I mean, she's good and all that, but hardly a surprise/exclusive boking is she? plays a fair bit in the UK, I think. She was over last summer if I remember right.

always nice to hear that an act is playing Glastonbury though (especially as i think a lot of people on here were expecting her to play last year). i'd have a hard time convincing anybody to go see her with me at her own gig, so at Glastonbury i can just wander off and see her myself

[Mardy]

yeah, absolutely, she;s really good and I'm happy I'm going to be there. Nice to see her getting a bit of attention too

[The Placid Casual]

I'm hungry for an announcement

[DL50]

In the unlikely event that The National play, maybe she would come on stage and play with them?

Anybody who declines that invitation is a fool, FF!

Just finishing off listening to my lovely clear vinyl pressing of Are We There, in celebration at this mega news. She played the Mountain Stage in the sunshine at Green Man last year and was enchanting. I'd love her to be on at The Park, but wonder if she might get put on early-ish on Pyramid...?

Wherever she plays, I will be there, unless there is a very compelling reason for me not to be...

[bennyhana22]

Brilliant! I only have epic. Need to remedy that

You do, Scruffy - Tramp and Are We There are better than Epic. In fact, they're both pretty fantastic.

Get on it, Scruffy! You're in for a treat, Are We There is the absolute cat's pyjamas.

Why would they put her on the Pyramid? There's pretty much no reason to.

Let's hope not, she'll sound a lot better without thousands of disinterested people talking loudly...

[Mezhyp1]

There's been some funny placements in the past but that would be up there, got to be the park surely doesn't it

[bennyhana22]

You need to remember that this is my first GF, chaps! Only suggesting that based on TV Watchers'?internet Readers' knowledge. Hey, if you're confident she's a Park shoe-in, I couldn't be happier. I'm considering pitching the tent in the dead centre in front of the Park stage, so well does it's line up suit me!

That's a great place to pitch & no need to rush to get a spot, it's one of the last places to fill up.

[tommyds]

Some of the best Park performances I've seen have had embarrassingly small crowds

Sorry, wasn't having a pop! I meant that I don't see her attracting or winning over many of the more 'casual fan' types you tend to get at the Pyramid. I feel like she's more likely to have a smaller number of dedicated fans who will actively seek her out, hence The Park.

Way too big for the Acoustic Tent then?

[Winslow Leach]

Hm, I hadn't thought of the Acoustic actually. She could go there I suppose, but Park just seems to make perfect sense to me.

[Bradders]

I feel like everyone predicts everyone will be on the Park, so much so that they won't all be able to fit and must end up elsewhere, surely?

Oh Lord, WL, no pop inferred! Actually when I thought about it, I realised that she is entirely suited to the main stage of many festivals, but not Glastonbury. The closer I get to the festival, the more I feel - with no particular 'problem' for me - that I am likely to spend very little time at the Pyramid. Despite it being my first GF and the Pyramid being the iconic musical venue for the festival, I'm adequately festival battle-scarred not to feel the need to be anywhere other than where I want to.

We watched all three third stage (so pretty damn small!) headliners at Green Man last year and it was, without doubt, my best ever festival for headliner experience.

Park would be just fine with me for SVE.

Yay Sharon Van Etten!

I don't know if anything can top her show at Manchester Cathedral in November, but I'm happy to watch that woman wherever she plays, she's incredible. I don't think I've stopped listening to Tramp since its release, easily one of my favourite albums, her other records are all excellent as well.

I'll try again with tramp.

Are we there is just so good that I'll be judging it against the other

[Gucci Piggy]

Listened to Are We There a few times last week having never listened to her before. Great stuff, nice little confirmation.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Not a confirmation - sorry - but girl from Slow Club asking for people to pray that they get booked:

Watching Slow Club Sunday week, I'll probe them and see if the prayers get answered.
