You are, and a clueless one too! James have been selling out tours since they reformed back in 2007, have released nearly as many albums since then than before, are on the bill at a shed load of festivals and are far better on the stage than fucking Flo, Libs, Swift and 95% of others already mentioned!

And on that note, what about Pulp?

Yeah and they are halfway down/very low on the line ups at any major festivals, they do not have the kind of popularity to headline festivals Glastonbury's size these days so no, not clueless at all.

Just had a look at their upcoming schedule and their next festival performance is a slot at 'Splendour in Nottingham' where they're billed under The Specials

Can Ash be slotted in somewhere?  I don't care if they headline (although I did dinghy Stevie Wonder in 2010 because Ash were headlining the John Peel) but they are my fave band ever...

 

Otherwise would love to see Blur again

Would be happy with QOTSA but are they even touring?

 

Nah they're not, this is the issue with some acts being banded about - I can't imagine any act turning around with 10 days notice and saying 'yeah we'll headline the Pyramid despite not having a show'

 

For that reason I think it's limited to 3/4 acts, the most likely being Florence.

Headlined Bearded Theory, Headlining Kendall Calling, Headlining a few smaller ones inc one near me, Bingley, busy pretty much every weekend over the summer but yeah, they're not popular...

When was the last time you went to one of their gigs?

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
