Give Brand New a park headline slot and I'd be more than happy (or is that a ridiculous thing to want? I'm not too sure what's usually acceptable for that stage)

yeah there's no way that would ever happen. i think the only slot they'd ever be given is, like stated earlier, mid Other

Squarepusher please

They played that before? They deserve a headline slot somewhere really, probably don't have the fan base at Glastonbury for one really.

yeah they were on Other in the middle of the day in 2009. they could possibly do JP as well, but Other seems like the dumping ground for these type of acts - the rare Reading/Leeds act that slips through

Quite far from Coachella but I didn't think that it warranted its own thread...

12 more acts for IOW. http://www.isleofwightfestival.com/line-up.aspx

James would be pretty good to see, but we say the same every year

is the theme of that 2nd stage "acts that were semi-popular 18 years ago"?

the main stage isn't much better.

Ash would be awesome on a smaller stage.

That would be perfect - Degausser on The Park at night... I guess it's very unlikely though. They still sell out tours quick, but not sure those people are at Glasto. Think I would rather see them in the JP than on the Other.

Ash would be awesome on a smaller stage.

Headlined John Peel in 2010 up against Stevie Wonder. Far from packed but bloody enjoyable all the same.

[FloorFiller]

what are Ash even up to these days? haven't heard anything from them since that A-Z thing

[Bradders]

I thought Tim had gone solo and written an album about the death of his Dad.

I missed that because the missus was determined to see Stevie Wonder. Would be over the moon if they played again!

[CaledonianGonzo]

I have it on good authority Belle & Sebastian are headlining Park one of the days.

Sarah just dodged a question about Glastonbury on the Tom Robinson show on 6 Music. Said that she didn't know.

They've been touring pretty much constantly without too long of a break. Tim took a bit of time off to do that festival collaboration with Emmy The Great a couple of years ago, and has bashed out a solo album plus dates a couple of years ago, but they're back doing the Ash thing this summer. Such a reliable band, they're very underrated in that respect, they've never gone too far from what the band is about, and always delivered a satisfying serving of pop punk.

Not sure how much it will share with glasto but another of the larger US fests has announced a line-up...

http://www.nola.com/jazzfest/index.ssf/2015/01/new_orleans_jazz_fest_2015_hea.html

I'm going to this - the main attraction for me being location (half hour walk from home) but, as well as the local talent, there's a few great acts in there - been dreaming on here about seeing buddy guy for years.

[Icewulf]

Has anyone actually considered The Who as a potential headliner yet? I know they played a few years ago, but apart from that is there a logistical reason why they might not play?

[Gucci Piggy]

I think there was something that ruled them out. Got announced for a Hyde Park gig that was labelled as their last show of the year or something. I may be making this up, not sure.

No, you're right.

[DJL]

I thought it was just that a heritage act returning after 8 years with the same set was unlikely... personally i don't think it's out of the question

[Justiceforcedave]

Elton is on the festi circuit then.

[the wonderwhy]

Get No Doubt booked up

[Matt42]

No Doubt headlining West Holts please

[dentalplan]

[Mezhyp1]
