Bill Bailey

[pie_and_a_pint]

Has just kind-of self-confirmed on BBC 6Music. He didn't use the G word, but said 'those familiar, er, fields' and suggested they'd be 'in the south west'.

[Ruwise]

Yay great news!! Ibibio Sound Machine kind of suggested they'd be there as well on Lauren's show this morning as well.

Would be good.

I've often thought there could be more comedy (apart from that self generated of course)

Would/could he play on a main stage?

Depends what you mean by Main.

[incident]

I mean Park, West Holts, even Pyramid.

I saw Tim Minchin on the main stage at Secret Garden a few years back and it worked really well. I haven't seen Bill before but could an afternoon on a big outdoor stage work!?

[Yesiamaduck]

He could play a mainstage I reckon, early of course, but I can see him having quite a big pull.... way too big for the comedy tent

[jeffie]

After Dolly?

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

it would be a nice touch having him mid afternoon on the pyramid

[lucyginger]

After Dolly?

[Zoo Music Girl]

Would love to see Bill Bailey there

And Dog Burger's dad, come to that.

[giantkatestacks]

Oh I would be made up with that.

[UEF]

What does Bill traditionally 'do' at Glastonbury? Like an hour of standup, or is it a rock set, a DJ thing or what?

[giantkatestacks]

Its the normal stand up mixed with songs...

It would be dangerously overcrowded in a tent, it would have to be one of the big three.

[Ruwise]

From the NME review of their album:

"Best enjoyed off your face at a festival and forgotten about the next day."

[grumpyhack]

I reckon he could hold quite a big stage. Not quite Pyramid but most of the others. I'd be happy to see him on West Holts or the Acoustic.

Went down a storm at Wychwood and if he can do The Royal Variety he could do most. Love his 1812 Overture - starts at about 6 minutes in.
