Damn you, Callum_96.

As pointed out in the self confirmed thread, RTJ have just sent an email out confirming them being there  woo!

[Spindles]

Fan fucking tastic! Now just praying they don't clash with Radiohead (rumour has it....)

So.....possibly one of the mysterious WH headliners?

I guess so but doesn't feel quite right to me for whatever reason - maybe a touch too small. Think JP headliner would be more likely if they were to top any stage.

[Badlands]

This pleases me immensely. Not sure if they're  WH headliners size. Could see them on the Other, theyre well thought of in the Other demographic, and someone has to play there.

I wouldn't say there's a discernible size difference between headliners of the two stages given we were trading Sigur Ros and Underworld between 'em last year, so I think they could do it.

But there's no point really. Same stage a couple of years on, only an hour or two later, would be a dull booking for an exciting stage. Same with Bobo as a headline option too. JP healdine would be cool but I reckon it'll be mid-Other or mid-Pyramid.

Yeah I'm picturing them mid Other myself, which may not be my preferred stage but if it stops them being at the top of the lineup/me missing them then I'm okay with it. Think they'd do pretty well on Other anyway.

Unless...and why not?.....it's been arranged on the basis and foundation of an already existing relationship with the WH booker.

Friday hip hop slot another distinct possibility.....

[General Lee]

Maaaan! Reading all this stuff from the first time of being ticketless at this stage is really crap and not recommended

I guess but at least a couple more years so it's not still so fresh in the memory. There's only been one Glastonbury since the last time we were jumping about to Mike and El. Especially if it's the expense of another hip hop act that WH could book for a place on the stage.

Yup. Or the hippy hoppy thing Neil was told about on the Other.

I believe it's the case that with his budgets he's good at spotting and booking the right acts before they're red hot, but less well-endowed with enough readies when they are red hot.

Which is why you'll often see acts that were on WH a year or three ago next appear on the Pyramid.

Brilliant news!!! Made up with this, as long as there's no clash with Radiohead, I don't care where or when they play

[kalifire]

This is fantastic news!! They will be incredible - an absolute must see, for me.

That said, I'm starting to get the fear over some of these clashes. RTJ vs Radiohead would be a nightmare.

[Andy0808 v5]

Kumbaya bitch.

 

So buzzed.

[simian_mobile_mushrooms]

RUN THE FUCKING JEWELS

[nikkic]

Great news. Seeing them at The Roundhouse in a couple of weeks but would still be there for them on The Farm. 

Think they could headline JP myself, wouldn't be surprised with that Friday Pyramid slot though.

If they headlined the JP this is the night I want and with all that 'hip' stuff on Saturday I don't see that. People some quietly confident of The Flaming Lips on Sunday.

Where's that Steve Buscemi meme??

[Brock Landers]

YEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!. Left it too late to get a ticket for Manchester gig so been holding out for this.

[Tuna]

Don't see them topping a stage. Maybe 3 or 4 down on the Other, earlyish Pyramid would be interesting too. 

[doosrawin]

Yes, yes yes!! Great news!

[simian_mobile_mushrooms]

Def the first band I've gotten really excited about, prob because it's come as a bit of a surprise and the rest I've known about for a while. Can see them subbing WH or JP, but a day time slot on the Pyramid might be too soon. There's buzz about them, but think it'd be wasted during the day and might not pack out the field like Snoop of De La Soul did. Gonna go WH, Sunday sub
