Don't know if its been discussed on here yet and don't want to trawl through all 136 pages to find out, but what are the odds of placebo playing? haven't in years, and are embarking on a tour later in year!

nah, 'later in the year' is the key part there. Maybe next year but probably not then either

Big beats are the best, Get high all the time.

EDIT: Just saw this posted in Self Confirmed. my bad.

How come Major Lazer are a rumor? I thought they were in America for the weekend

Someone has told me he knows they're playing, Caravan Palace too.

The tourdates for both acts aren't suggestive of it, tho both acts appear to be able to be back in Eurpoe (which they're both defo in in early July) with enough time to play Glasto.

The tourdates make be dubious of what i've been told - which is why they're both just rumours and nothing stronger - tho I think it's fair to say that because of their tourdates it would be an odd thing to have made up.

that fest runs from the Thursday of Glasto to the Sunday.

So just as we all think Bring Me The Horizon are playing early at a fest on the other side of the pond and then flying over for Glasto, the same is possible here too.

It's an unusual thing for any band to do, but it's not an impossible thing for a band to do.

wonder if Major Lazer could be subbing LCD Soundsystem as they are at TITP (if they're playing, of course)

WH possible headiner?

[stocky3000]

Diplo is always on the move could comfortably do glasto if plays team US festival on the Thursday

yeah could definitely see that actually - scratch my LCD sub suggestion. forgot LCD are on the Friday so would make it petty hard for them to travel over for it

Would it not make more sense for them to play the US festival first since they're over there the weekend before that and the play Glastonbury Saturday or Sunday, I'm guessing subbing BMTH?

yeah just realised that. Sunday West Holts headliner (i'm sure people will be happy to hear...) or subbing BMTH then

could be, as they subbed last time.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Haven't they got substantially bigger since last time, though? Like, bigger than a WH headliner?

I do quite fancy checking them out. Could be a giggle.

[ghostdancer1]

i know their Bristol date on the Glasto Saturday was mentioned last week, but Catfish and the Bottlemen's new album is out at the end of May, so that probably gives more weight to them being re-booked this year.

[CHRLY]

Melt Yourself Down's new stuff it great. Would love to see them back on The Holts. Playing Larmer Tree Festival in Salisbury on 15th June.

Isn't EW&F the thought of WHs headliner? With BMTHs new direction, a sub directly in the mainstream atm would make sense.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Is there a new album?

They were great last time. Fond memories of your man out in the crowd ripping up the turf and smearing himself with earth.

Yeah. Bestival headliner, Ally Pally and stuff. Think it'd be high on the top two stages for 'em.

Indeed. New album coming on 29th April. Mad live show. I believe they are on Lauren Laverne's show this morning for an interview.

Tour dates here too. Nothing up your way yet, think I'll try and make the Liverpool show.

Ahh yes you're right. Still, looking at their tour dates it looks likely.

not sure if there's anything new on the lolla line up

[Robinn]

Slayer just announced a Dutch date on tuesday June 21st...

It's happening!

American fests aren't pulling up anything special this year really are they. Coachella still has to win for GNR, this better than Bonnaroo though, with the except of DCFC.

Not sure if jane's addiction have been mentioned on this thread but they are in europe in early june, with a big gap between a date in madrid on June 16 and Lollapalooza in Chicago in July. I am allowing myself to get excited about the possibility of this happening.

The Weeknd has pulled out of supporting Rihanna on her stadium tour, due changes in upcoming projects, would suggest what little chance he had of being at Glastonbury is now gone
