3 hour 45 Minute gap between Mororhead and Florence

[Fiona5260]

Elton John, unless he's already going to 'guest' on the Who spot for Pinball Wizard, which incidentally would make me HAPPYER than Florences happiness

[Porcelina]

Foals

[Alan_C]

Stereophonics looking likely.. put a tweet offering to fill in (dunno if this was sarcasm or not) and glasto needing a new sub..would be a perfect booking

 

Perfect as in a boring booking? How do they keep getting booked 2nd top at other festivals still? I love Word Gets Around, Performance and Cocktails is good as well, but they're terrible now. Where other bands who made good albums in the late 90's then turned shit, have fell off the radar and play lower down now, Stereophonics still get booked high up. Why?

Because unlike the others they still sell out arenas, which is the best indication!

I was just about to say James. But now I won't.

[willutalk]

I think this could prove to be one of the biggest shows for Motörhead despite the fact that they are decades into a their career. It's a massive gig for them, huge exposure.

Has lemmy got over his illness?

Wasn't he at deaths door a few weeks back?

[Friendly Banter]

Someone on reddit claiming inside info says Elbow will be filling some part of the gap.

Don't turn their guitars up enough.

[Bradders]

Bit disappointed not to get even a micro-LOL for my Lennon paraphrase...

 

Especially as it was dissing young Martin!

I'm ashamed to say I only just got it!

That would be the worse thing that could happen.

[Gucci Piggy]

Hope there are two new acts and the first one's shite so I can see Run the Jewels but the second one is Foals so I can see Foals.

[Fiona5260]

James fabulous singalong

Elbow grand last year

I still want Elton

But realistically I think they'll just rejig artists already booked, I'm saying that because I really want Elton, M &M  or anyone else other than Florence and her machine

[MEGABOWL]

yes! more speculation! oh how i've missed you stupid illogical unrealistic guesses

Wow. So I'm back to checking the line up page for a new SR or TBC. Nostalgic.

[august1]

Foals were down as rumour some weeks back wernt they?

[sonicpurveyor]

Manics to sub & do the Holy Bible would be fine with me

[kingcrawler]

I think they were a rumour from when they did Pilton Party back in September.

I would like this too

actually Flo moving up means I can see Run the jewels & Django django or even most of Modestep which I was a bit sad about missing so this might work out okay

[Andy0808 v5]

Has anyone else not been able to get onto the Glastonbury site for about 2 hours?

Edit: ignore me

And I'd definitely go watch them if they did..

But let's be honest - they were 3rd down on the Other Stage last year, and while hardcore Manics fans would love a Holy Bible set, it's not their most well known material or even close. If anything, doing THB in full would turn off more casual fans than it attracted.

My guess? It'll be one of 4 acts added:

Stereophonics

Pet Shop Boys

Kylie

The Charlatans (only mentioned because we know they're booked)

Think the Charlatans arent big enough either, but if it frees up their friday morning slot for Ride then I'm all for it!

Yeah they're nowhere near big enough (these days). But they are booked which is why they can't be entirely discounted.

I'd rather it just be a Manics set but I'd probably be there as they'd chuck classics in too probably.
