Self Confirmed

[A Guy Called Matt]

The white city shakers playing Weds, Sat & Sun.

A friend of mine fronts the band so if you're set up and can get to see them on the weds they're great fun. bluesy, country etc. I promise you'll be dancing.

Saw them in Glastonbury at the CN night - they were the dogs dangly bits and the best on the night by far.

Nice work!

Grandmaster Flash in the Friday Pyramid Hip Hop slot anyone?

Sunday West Holts headliner?

[WS_Jack_III]

Grandmaster Flash is on! sweet!

where on the Wednesday?

They didn't say but will post in here when I find out.

[Razza_bezza]

Cool I'll try and catch them thanks

Not a self-confirmation as such but looks like The Shires will be making an appearance - see penultimate paragraph

dammit I read that as 'The Shins' and got excited

[mr gumby]

Nearly forgot all about this. Saw Gaz Brookfield at the weekend. Asked him about glasto and he looked a bit awkward and replied 'I don't know yet'. Not a confirmation, but if he hadn't been approached, or approached them, he'd surely just say no?

[Acid_Haze]

I have a feeling that the people saying "I don't know" at this stage might not be playing

A month ago I would have said differently, but I think most people performing probably know at this point!

Isn't the point that they do know, but say "I don't know" to avoid giving it away?

I guess that all depends on how genuine they want to be about it. It's all up in the air really

[Brave Sir Robin]

Legendary hip hop artist Grandmaster Flash

Electronic soul duo Wyles & Simpson

Italian dub fusion DJ Gaudi

German techno DJ Ellen Allien

Folk singer songwriter Maz O'Connor

Record breaking UK country duo The Shires

Jazz inspired hip hop Akua Naru

Funky brass band The Brass Funkeys

Accordion led folk fusion band Calico Jack

I remember when you used to post lists like this everyday Dental! Hopefully those days are back.

I'm tipping Wyles & Simpson for big things, they sound halfway between London Grammar and the XX.

Sunday West Holts headliner?

Nowhere near that big, it'll be sometime during the day in Silver Hayes or in a tent in the naughty corner

Although, I remember Beans on Toast one year telling a story about how he wasn't sure if he was 'in' until really late on..hence the song 'Can't get a gig at Glastonbury', so I guess some folks, even regulars, can fall through the booking cracks Edited May 7, 2015 by dixietheduck

Just listened to them...... and bought the album cos I liked what I heard!

Sunday West Holts headliner?

There's no way he's headliner size.

And I'll take a well-sourced punt that there's not a hope of him being on West Holts. I could be wrong, but I'll be surprised if I am.

He's only free Sunday unless he does a Who/Weller. Guessing it's unlikely

[The Placid Casual]

Grandmaster Flash, oh yeahhhh!

Hopefully in one of the late night areas. That'd be sweet.

I think my mind is still living in the 80s/90s when I see some of these artists.

Bless my old brain

According to GMF's website he's on an unnamed stage from 11pm to midnight on Sunday so I guess that means not one of the main stages. http://www.grandmasterflash.com/tour-dates-2/2015/6/28/glastonbury-uk

I hope it is near the Pyramid so I can dash over after the Who to catch the last bit

Same here!

[willutalk]

I really hope that Caribou do a late night areas set. I think a clash is imminent unfortunately.

With regards to Grandmaster Flash, they really do strike me West Holts 2/3 down. Same slot as Jurassic 5 I reckon.

a word of warning to those considering seeing Flash and perhaps expecting some old skool hip hop. he can be fucking awful these days, just playing a load of pop shite.
