Self Confirmed

[kingcrawler]

i don't see him headlining. hasn't he stopped playing anything from his first album bar one or two songs in favour of playing his new album in it's entirety? not sure how well that'd go down really. would've said Pyramid, but he already did that in '13, so maybe subbing Other? possibly to Alt-J?

He's playing arenas on his tour so he's the size of an Other stage headliner. Saying that, I think he'll probably sub it.

Yeah other sub sounds about right

I agree that he will probably sub, but I don't imagine why he would sub Alt J, or more so I don't see why Alt J would headline ahead of him

[Rose-Colored Boy]

I can definitely see Ben headlining Other.

Did St Vincent say anything?

not that i heard but I think was a prerecord so would have been cut out even if she had

Yeah his new album isn't especially suited to the Pyramid. It's too different in tone to really play alongside most of Every Kingdom, so if you got too many people turning up expecting him to still be playing that first record in full - which you would on the Pyramid - then he'd get the sort of reaction which led to the Norwich outburst etc.

Other headliner against the weakest of the Pyramid trio please.

I'd say they're a similar size but their tours suggest he's a bit bigger than Alt-J. Alt-J headlining's just based on Neil getting info that they'd been offered an Other stage headline spot a few months ago.

Yeah if he wasn't playing so little off Every Kingdom I'd have suggested him as a Pyramid sub. As you say, his set at the moment wouldn't work at all on there.

i just think Alt-J seem more like a nighttime act what with their light show etc, whereas he's just a guy with a guitar - a sunset slot would do him well

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Hopefully Alt-J will be announced as a Latitude exclusive in 13 and a half hours time to put this debate to bed sharpish.

I dunno, I've not seen him live but his new album seems like it would work better at night.

[Matt42]

I'm pretty sure they confirmed to someone they were playing but they didn't know where?

Ben Howard pretty much says yeah 46:00 ish

It does. Doesn't mean he couldn't play earlier if it was that or nothing though.

Zane signing off in his usual w*nkish fashion then

Zane basically admitted this himself after putting the question to Ben.

He seems to be definitely in "sign off" mode with bbc. He cursed at least a few times on air tonight. Quite enjoyed it tonight for a change

St Paul & The Broken Bones have Glastonbury listed on their site.

Enjoying these, good spot, cheers

Folk singer-songwriter Lisbee Stainton, playing something called the PRS stage on the Sunday, who at the same time confirms that Seth Lakeman is playing Avalon the same day.

Added to the playlist.

Interesting. PRS have been partners in the Emerging Talent Competition for a few years.

Wonder if this is a new stage or if they are renaming an existing one?

[LondonTom]

Intresting reveal! Though I reckon it could just be something renamed? Maybe Williams Green?

Looks like the PRS is intentional and not just copied anything. (Guess it could be a code for a stage at Glasto?)

Screamin' Miss Jackson & The Slap Ya' Mama Big Band (already an SR) have now self-confirmed for the Croissant Neuf.

Random Twitterer plausibly claims Childhood's guitarist told him they're playing a 10pm slot somewhere (Williams Green would make sense).

Sounds fun. Hopefully something to check out on the Thursday.

Brilliant, these have looked promising for a while

Well look at this, someone's blatantly read this thread (and some others on here), and written it up as an article: http://gigaddict.co.uk/glastonbury-line-up-confirmed-leaks-rumours/
