Haim aren't going to be there, they are definitely an exclusive for R/L. Wolf Alice played twice last year so you can probably count them out, but not impossible. Slaves also played twice, so again unlikely, but not impossible. The 1975 will definitely be there. Peace are absolutely mince, so hopefully not

Peace are brilliant live mate?

I think Peace played twice last year as well? 

They could have done, I detest them so I couldn't say for certain as I don't pay attention to anything they do

it's worded as "UK Festival Exclusive" in the official press release.

You have put this in another section for Biffy Clyro too. Are you possibly thinking that it might not be as true as it sounds?

[Honeybane]

Wait so.... If a band play twice one year that makes them unlikely to play the following year?

Doesn't make them impossible as said, but I would definitely say it makes them less likely

Time to give it up Gaz, they aren't playing Glastonbury

I'm just asking a question, I'm quite happy to wait for their own tour anyway.

On the plus side.....Jess Glynne has confirmed :).

how would this make them less likely?

A band playing twice one year, and then playing the next without any new album out, which I don't believe any of them do, definitely makes them less likely, the same set 3 times in 2 years?

Am surprised HAIM got themselves tied to an exclusive. They genuinely seemed to love Glastonbury, popping up in several places in 2013 and 2014. Didn't they do something like 4 or 5 appearances in 2013? Guess money talks but would have thought a Glastonbury pyramid set with BBC coverage would support a new album better than R&L.

I don't really see how Slaves and Wolf Alice playing two sets last year when one each was a secret set makes them unlikely for this year. I think both will get a move up to the Other stage this year.

They were absolutely toilet live when I saw them in the JP tent a few years ago, and I really liked their debut album. Never-listened-to-them-since kind of bad live.

[White Bear]

Counting Crows playing in Italy with Springsteen mid July, would love to see them at Glastonbury this year.

[Andy0808 v5]

Haim were beyond slow in getting their first album out, so I seriously doubt they'll have the second out before Reading and Leeds. 

 

Would happily be proved wrong but I remember reading somewhere that they were really nitpicking with minor details which delayed the album.

As I said I don't think it's impossible, I think Slaves might well be there despite the fact they'd be awful on the other stage, but I'm by no means certain that's for sure, the same goes for Wolf Alice

Slaves would be brilliant on the Other Stage. I think they are big enough to play third down on that, even with one album.

Try fifth or sixth. They'd never play third down.

Wouldn't happen. Even if they had a 2nd album they wouldn't get that high. They're not THAT big. 

In proof of this Neil has stated a few times that headliners of Reading NME tent depending on the year are around 3rd down on the Other Stage. Slaves wouldn't headline or even sub the NME stage.

If Bastille can sub it and BMTH can headline, Slaves can play third down. No arguments.

Absolutely no chance. Be lucky if they play fifth or sixth down

Bastille are (somehow) massive. I'm surprised they're not headlining.

Slaves would not play third. It just wouldn't happen, and I like them.

The same level as Courteeners, The Maccabees and Belle and Sebastian/ Interpol, Manics and Bombay Bicycle Club? Glue is a wonderful drug

yep, (apart from the Manics.) They are massive, all the kids go fuckin ape shit for em. And glue is a wonderful drug.

There's optimism and then there is sheer delusion.

But fair play for proving that this thread can still shock me.

I watched them on Shangri La hell last year and the crowd was particarly average. They still a good few lines down on the R/L poster and that's their absolute target audience 

You have no argument here, it won't be happening
