Saw that, PRS tent (anyone have any idea?) on the Saturday, John Peel on the Sunday!

There's been a few mentions of this PRS tent from quite newish bands. I doubt they'd rename Williams Green

I'd love for them to stick a tent back in the dance village for smaller bands.

Williams green is a bit of a trek away and sometimes smaller bands can be lost on the john peel. Plus the bbc introducing can be a bit too small.

I bloody love Williams green, my favourite stage for so many reasons.its not near other stages so you have to put some effort in to get there, decent bars, nice area outside the tent to sit down and chill whilst listening to he music coming from inside the tent, and above all they have some cracking bands playing there, my type of music. Cracking venue, bloody love it

The dance village in the day is just a horrendous soundbleed, could see one of the stages being turned back into bands by day/djs by night - would work quite nicely!

Met a mate of mine tonight at an excellent Bryan Ferry gig. He's a promoter and also manages a band called the Bleedin' Noses. They played a gig recently at Pilton Working Men's Club attended by Michael Eavis and as a result they've got an Avalon Stage booking - Saturday 4.30pm.

Not technically self confirmed but ive just seen The Skints are TBC on here. Happy days! Great fun live so im hoping they get a spot on the West Holts although i get the feeling they may well be on the leftfield. My punk and ska loving mate is a big fan of theirs and although he loves Glastonbury he hasn't seen too many of his favourite bands down at Worthy as they're probably more favoured to Reading (NOFX, Less than Jake, Millencolin etc) so this has made his day!

I love them too, great band. really digging the new album too, took a few goes, but its got me now. It was Shangri-la who announced them on lamebook and twitter. So they'll be in there somewhere, which will be quality. See you there. On a side note, a little bit of me has hope for Less Than Jake - they are touring, but not till August, but am sure if they were asked, they'd be over here....as I say only a little bit of me has hope, the chances are slim!

    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band. 
    • The single worst shout for any slot on any stage in the history of efests. Worse even than the Wursels or The Wombles.    Unlikely I’d be there, but okay with the other two. Boy George is a class act, plus he could DJ in Block 9    
    • Do people want an arena experience though? Especially for sub par bands. Rather a band do more nights at an independent venue for more money than 1 big one.
