I agree with you, in theory it shouldn't be enough to entirely rule him out, but he was in the same situation last year and didn't play, and he wasn't being advertised as an exclusive at another UK fest last year either. Although maybe I'm just insistently trying to expect him not to play because I'm not going this year and would be gutted to miss one of the all-time great Glastonbury sets

Haha I feel your potential pain. 

It does seem unlikely but as long as he's down as a rumour on the lineup page, I'm staying hopeful! Other stage headliner would be mega.

THREE TIMES!!!

It's a Thursday this year. It's on.

Today is a Thursday. Today is a break day on Adele's O2 residency which means there'll be less in the papers about her tomorrow. It's on.

Could it be Beck?

I said that on a stage predictions thread, but most thought he isn't big enough. More likely he'd be 3/4 down or Other Sub

Had London dates either side of Glastonbury last summer and wasn't booked, and still wasn't booked even when they were rattling around for last-minute Pyramid act replacements. Can't see why he'd be booked this year but not last.

Fucking hell, it's happening everyone. 

Martin and Nile Rodgers fighting it out on Sunday night, doing a mix up of Life on Mars and Let's Dance.

I will be surprised if they don't cover that now then. There will probably be Bowie covers getting played a lot over the weekend, and Coldplay are your best bet for one.

What a whopping great c**t.

Mike garson will be roaring with laughter

Eurgh, go away Chris Martin. Bowie didn't want to work with you when he was alive, so stop forcing yourself upon him like some letchy necro-perv!

Letchy Necro Perv were great last year in Williams Green.

No, that's not right. I'm thinking of the Dalai Lama. Ignore me.

They said the same about ZZ Top. 

For about 3 years on the bounce! 

Though I agree he's not really big enough to sub.  Sunday West Holts headliner, please.

Who are you and what have you done with CaledonianGonzo?

[CaledonianGonzo]

On the condition that he ditches the heartbroken acoustic ballads and utilises his two turntables and a microphone. 

[danwink]

Any news on Tame Impala possibly subbing on the Saturday? Think they are around that sort of level maybe but can't really see them just before Adele?

More chance of him ditching the hat.

I'm prepared to be proven wrong, but about 75% of this fits my view of the West Holts criteria:

I really hate Chris Martin's two t-shirt combo too. God it winds me up!

I still don't think it's enough to rule him out. Glastonbury would be a huge deal for Kendrick and give him some massive, mainstream publicity in the UK. I'm sure he'd be willing to hop back and forth over the Atlantic if it meant playing in a prominent spot at Glastonbury live on the BBC.

I'd be absolutely gutted in KL plays. First year not going since 2009, I saw him at Leeds and he was outstanding, you really knew you were watching someone very special.

I went to the Kendrick gig on friday in Manchester, he was on stage for about half an hour. I believe that if he can fly over from the US for that (granted he probably got a lot of $$$ from Reebok) then he could fly over for Glastonbury

Fair, perhaps, but check the Blue Moon-Lost Cause one-two. I can't say it affected the atmosphere that much because it didn't really perk up until Loser but those two at West Holts would be popping the funk balloon, I promise.

[CaledonianGonzo]

No doubt it'd mellow the mood for a while......but as long as it gets built right back up again....

I mean, Bobby Womack's Sunday night set was way more downtempo than it was down and dirty - but I was still feelin' it.

I have been assuming for months now that they would be there. I'd expect them third down though, not as a sub. Could be wrong though! 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

I think Tame Impala would get lost on the Pyramid tbh. Perfect Other Stage headliner.
