Playing Metronome festival in Praque Glasto weekend. Homme is not touring with him from late May onwards. 

Foals are doing both so maybe Iggy could also... not too arsed about Homme not being there. would've been nice, but Iggy's the main attraction

[SwedgeAntilles]

What date is Iggy in Prague? I had been thinking he'd do Pyramid Saturday and a wee walk on during New Order's set later that night.

Go on Floorfiller!! Bring my hopes up again!

Iggy's playing Prague on the Saturday (Foals on the Sunday). Not ideal, but still possible.

Flogging Molly have a tasty Glastonbury  shaped hole. Italy 20th, Norway 28th, would love to see them back

They got UK dates? They would be great :)

Mydy Rabycad are also playing Prague on the Saturday and we know they're at G so Iggy can hitch a lift with them. We all know how much he loves Czech electro-swing.

Catfish are not gonna be third on the Pyramid. fifth at best. if George Ezra can play fifth and Hozier can play sixth, both of whom were bigger than Catfish at the time, then i don't see why they couldn't play a similar slot

although i think they're far more likely to headline JP

Tbf I did say oppositwle Coldplay is more likely, but they won't be as low down at 5th on Pyramid, they are only going to get bigger.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Richard Ashcroft playing Glasgow, Manchester, London and the Scarborough Fair Festival in May. Starting to look like a strong possibility. 

[EIaine]

King Gizzard could be in. Hoping they play Electric Picnic too.

Nah, no UK dates, the European ones are festivals, which gives me the Glastonbury hope :-)

Dunno if tour dates really suggest this, they have nothing between May and August and they're over here through August/September. Would be great to have them back though.

[Harmonic Prospector]

The Avett Brothers have a 2 week gap in their US tour dates and their new album is released Glasto week. Would be great to see them on The Park but not sure how popular they are over here so couldn't say where they should be on the bill.

Would Catfish not be more likely to play the Sunday, with having the gig in Bristol on the Saturday? Would that not be a warm up Glastonbury?

Nah they already have dates beforehand so it isn't a warm up; just an extra date while they're in the area.

[CHRLY]

Catfish on the radio here, sounding like they're playing. Did the usual "we've got exciting festivals yet to announce, but we won't say anything else" thing. Then went on to speak about Glastonbury last year and how it's one of their favourite gigs.

See you down the front everyone!

They would be great really early in the Shikari slot or The Hives.

IOW announcing 8.45am tomorrow. I wonder if he has purposely not denied Prince in this tweet.

 

[thewayiam]

Is it thought that Richard Ashcroft may do some Verve covers too?

I definitely think it's Prince over anybody else. They need something mega to make up for the rest of the shoddy lineup

On his last few tours nearly half of his set has been Verve covers

[FuzzyDunlop]

Where would Ashcroft be? JP headliner? A few down from top on the other stage? Park headliner?

If he was up against MUSE or Coldplay, I'd be well up for seeing him.

I'm hoping he'll headline somewhere on the Sunday. A sing a long Sunday to end the festival would be most welcome.

[Alan_C]

Hard to say where Ashcroft would play. He could easily play Pyramid, Other, JP or Park.

Ah but then we can't have this in our lives again...

I like your thinking.

I suspect he will be on the other stage, 3rd down i(f he plays)

I could be miles out though.

[wozwebs]

Would love it if Ashcroft plays, Friday JP headliner would suit me as I don't want to see Muse or LCD if it's them.
