It's taken over forty years and countless experiments with so-called media partners but Michael Eavis has finally found the perfect way to release important information about Glastonbury. Instead of press releases, tv and radio interviews, websites, social media or even printed flyers, Michael has decided to simply pass information on to the first person he bumps into when he goes shopping and assume it will all just be passed on accurately from there.

Of course he has.

Ahhh. New tangent for the thread!

Blue Jays have started well. Two good wins and a good outing for Dickey in game 2 of the series against the Pinstripes, despite the loss...I'm hopeful of a good year, and at least some post-season action.

Not sure how much of a marker beating the worst Yankees team in 30 years or so is. I expect the Sox to make the playoffs; think the over-achievers in Baltimore are your biggest threat to the post-season. Have you seen the way Adrian Gonzalez has started the season?! FFS!! That guy's trying to get all his work work in before the mid-season break for Glastonbury. Edited by jimmyt

So, should we expect to hear anything in April?!

Probably. What we were told had lots of uncertainies within it to make it all a bit vague, which is why it's not been repeated here.

We may or may not find out more about timescales tomorrow, when we get to talk to various top-bods at the bands competition.

Hi All

I've been following this thread for some time now, but this is my first post - so please be gentle with me! I met the Vaccines last night at the Rugby Tavern in Holborn London- the lead singer Justin confirmed they are playing the other stage on Friday. Obs they're not big enough to headline, but possible sub or 3rd down?

Thanks.

Hopefully you manage to get some concrete, repeatable information!

Hodgson played once didn't her, thinking 2004ish

I mean he

Don't think he's ever played Glastonbury.

He's been playing live almost non stop since about 2007 now though and would be perfect for a headline slot on the Acoustic Stage or an afternoon slot on the Pyramid. Think back to Willie Nelson a few years ago.

As for Supertramp, he fell out with them when they reneged on a gentleman's agreement to not perform his songs at their live shows.

They still play his hits and they form about 30% of the set which is a shame really as Rick Davies has some great songs himself and Mark Hart who sings Roger's songs is a woeful singer.

Hodgson has started playing festivals too and does have a Glasto shaped hole in this summer's schedule.

I'm crossing my fingers in hope.

Welcome!

I know they played early on Other a couple of years back and then later on Pyramid the year after (2013 / 2014?) so only seems right they can sub Other at this point! If nothing's clashing I'll go check 'em out!

Great username by the way, fantastic album!

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
