Self Confirmed

[benscheff]

fidlar are only free on the Sunday so its defs not a given yet

[Brave Sir Robin]

Surely fidlar are as good as confirmed with a London show on the 23rd

I thought that but they're playing Werchter on the 25th then a French fest on 26th or 27th (I'm presuming it's not both). Possible but can't get too confident yet. Hope so!

[Brave Sir Robin]

Free Like Me, who describe themselves as 'Gypsy/Soul/Reggae/Acoustic/World/Rock/Funk/Latino/Clasica/Bossanova' (I'd describe them as 'awful' personally) playing Pussy Parlure Thurs, Bandstand Sat, Gully Sun.

Reluctantly added to the playlist.

Oh my, that's some news - I think msot people were expecting them on the Sunday weren't they?

Maybe 3rd down on Other?

[Conor1458]

Maccabees were on the original poster weren't they?

[The Placid Casual]

It'd be a massive shitter if FIDLAR aren't there given the timing of that London show.

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!

The idea of seeing them in Shagri La in the late hours excites me a lot! Thats the beauty of them, perfect in the sunshine with the beers flowing but equally as good in the small hours to get everyone dancing. Less Than Jake would be an incrediable booking! One of the funnest live bands ive ever seen. Would possibly be simililar to when 'Rocket from the crypt' played years back. Its certainly been a while since a decent ska band played one of the main stages. (The Specials and Madness in 2009?)

Yes.

Some people seem to be expecting them to be a JP tent headliner based on where they are on the text list on http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/line-up/

[briddj]

Yes.

Yet George Clinton is headlining West Holts on the Sat and is not next to Hot Chip.

[JBarbour]

So other than the headliners (and maybe the subs) the poster is just a random order after all that over analyzing it?

[Badlands]

Over analysing is what we do here. It's what separates us from the part-timers.

Yes he is... on the text list (not the poster)

I don't wanna sound pedantic but did they mean in performing context or that they would be on site to see Kanye on the Saturday?

[theouterlimits]

The way it was phrased implied that Saturday was the only day they would be on site, I think.

[Divein]

Argh they're gonna clash with Kanye.

[Gucci Piggy]

Yes.

Why can't they still be a JP headliner...?

[FuzzyDunlop]

There is going to be a 3 way SFA - HOT CHIP - SUEDE Clash isnt there?!

[theouterlimits]

I didn't say they can't be.

edit -well along with being tortured to death and the like

THE MACCABEES

But if Maccabees are playing Saturday, and we already know all three JP headliners are on the poster, that doesn't work. Also, Sparks' website said they were Sunday.

I'm glad the Maccabees are on Saturday this potentially frees up some clashes. As it stands it's SFA - Maccabees ( if headlining) and the Who ( Friday - Sat - Sun), but this might well change, we all no nothing until IT comes out !

I am going bat crazy with impatience !

[Cuboid]

its not likely to be all in total order of days. Infact it isn't from the info we have already on Chems ( Sunday) ahead of Rudimental (Friday)

They could just be in the wrong order, although I think a Suede, Maccabees, FFS trio was ruled out in that facebook competition a few weeks ago to guess the 3 JP headliners. Suede clashing with Super Furry Animals wouldn't make much sense either so I think Suede will headline JP on Saturday with The Maccabes playing the other stage.
