Nothing will make up for SoloArtistLegendsSlotGate, as hard as he may try!

I did make an exception for "Jeff Lynne's ELO" before the announcement*, since it's basically a solo effort, so as far as I'm concerned nothing has changed.

*but after Chris Evans whispered it on live telly.

Slaves subbing the Other or whatever similar nonsense that it was.

No WAY are they bigger than the Maccabees FFS!

So yesterday we had Jean-Michel Jarre ruled out, and Radiohead on again / off again / on again (but then we have that every day). I wonder what rollercoaster ride we'll have today? Chris Evans & the Top Gear team headlining the Park?

I think it makes the most sense particularly on the Friday, ideally with Adele opening up the Park at midday.

Saw Radiohead a few years ago. Me and half the crowd were bored pissless. We all left angry at how poor it was. There were even a few scuffles on the way out as people let go of their frustrations.

[sloseph]

the only way I can see us getting Radiohead is if there is some sort of Co-headliner deal afoot

either that or they get crazy and put Radiohead on the Other Stage on the Sunday

I felt the same at the secret Park set in 2011, bored to shit.  The most exciting part was when I got stuck in the mud and dropped all 4 pints I had just bought at the Bimble Inn...

Possibly the most Guardian comment of all time.

I was up front, on the fence for Radiohead at the Park. It was great. They were actually a bit ropey at times performance wise especially with the KoL stuff, but having seen them about ten times before play amazing sets, it was that bit more fun because of it. I can understand it would've been a bit shit further back though.

there's nothing more devastating, especially as I imagine the bar queue was horrific.

Just seen James Bay, Sigur Ros, Last Shadow Puppets and Catfish been announced for Bristol Summer Series this year which takes place Wed-Sat of Glastonbury. Does this make those acts more likely to play Glastonbury as they're in the area or no difference?

More likely in the most part I would imagine surely?

that means they've announced the 2 UK appearances the Citadel press release said they would be making this year.

It better had be as I do not think that I would ever overcome to utter devastation that I would suffer.
