Sounds like a hoot. Lineup filling up nicely now. And if we get half of the heavily rumoured acts and acts touring around the time we're in for a cracking festival of music.

The headliner thread genuinely makes me sad. Especially considering theres only one more headliner to be announced.

47SOUL who take "the street music of Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and the Palestinian territories .... into the future with analogue synthesizers and electronic beats, and hyped verses from the four singers."

Thank you, I love world music and this is a new find for me, along with Songhoy Blues the presumed WH line up is looking good already.

Some of my favourite music memories of the festival have been world music acts, in my best ever list over the years Balkan Beat Box, and Ilham Al Madfai (From Iraq) on WH, and Oi Va Voi (With KT Tunstall) at the Avalon. Sweet!

I meanare they sure they're playing WOMAD? - the quote says WOMAD in June

They're on the official line up so I guess so. It says "booked for UK festivals Womad and Glastonbury in June 2015". So could read that 2 ways.

I'm sure i saw Gretchen in 2013 in a sparsly filled Accoustic Tent. She was great,Just what was needed for this tired and battered body on the Sunday afternoon

I was at that. Drinking whisky down the back. Pretty empty alright.

Christy Moore. Friday night Acoustic headliner?

Talked to a guitarist from Wolf Alice yesterday after their Rescue Rooms gig about playing Glastonbury and he said "I don't know - we can't say anything yet." I'm taking that as "yes, but we can't confirm it yet" because if they weren't playing, surely he'd just say no?

There's an extremely convenient gap in their touring schedule too.

My logic is undeniable.

That's good news, was annoyed to miss them last year.

    • On the whole then,yay or nay...I've had a look on festivals united and there's people who seem converted by Rock Im Park, I can imagine it might be different if it was a washout as RaR is tarmac.   The hotel side would be more to convince the non campers if it's an option. On my first visit to rock am ring we were shuttled into the area where you could stick the car next to the tent which was fantastic as it meant zero lugging of camping gear.
    • An interesting thing this. Having seem them several times (some of their gigs veer into back catalogue niche territoty), I partly agree they arent Pyramid material (theough modern defeinition of 'bangers' although I could see them headlinging the Other stage) I can't think of another festival in the world that they couldn't headline - Reading, IoW, BST, Rock Wercheter, Roskilde, etc etc.
    • Ohhh it’s very, very good. 
    • I'm sure you like silly music too but is it because it's not a Download traditional type act it gets looked down on? Rock am Ring booked them, and they sell every year so don't actually need to   Andy going and being replaced is the best thing that could have happened to Download, someone fresh to mix it up a bit rather than just a complete rotation. The only reason Andy booked ST in ti headline too was because he loves them and he was going on to manage them. Nah, Andy booked FOB in a year where over 20 acts were asked, I'll guarantee if they get Blink and having had Green Day they did not need 20 bands to come to those. FOB are also not one that have been booked in Europe to headline by anyone other than Reading as co-headliner as far as I can see. They weren't a ooh god yes they've booked FOB.
