Acts Touring Around Glastonbury 2016

[LondonTom]

Yeah tbh, I could probs live without Alice now, it was fantastic the first time you saw them, after that it was a bit meh. (Especially when they done main stages rather than tents/smaller venues).

[FuzzyDunlop]

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are over here in February, yes it is early, but I hope to see them on a bigger stage at Glastonbury (JP perhaps). They were my "find of 2015"

Here is a link to the tour for those interested:

The other stage needs Tool and Tool needs the other stage, please make this happen 

[Brave Sir Robin]

Excited by ATP Iceland, 1-3 July:

Legendary composer John Carpenter (who will be performing his legendary soundtracks as well as new compositions live for the first time ever), will now be joined by Sleep, Thee Oh Sees, Ty Segall and The Muggers, Angel Olsen, Les Savy Fav, Tortoise, Anika, Yasmine Hamdan, Blanck Mass, Mueran Humanos, Örvar Smárason & Gunnar Tynes of múm (performing live soundtrack to Menschen am Sonntag), comedy from Stewart Lee

I'd take pretty much all of those at G, particularly Thee Oh Sees (thought they'd split?), Ty Segall, Angel Olsen, and Stewart Lee please Eavii.

[FloorFiller]

Thee Oh Sees announced a hiatus in 2013 but then had announced a new album and began touring again by 2014, so not really sure what all that was about. would love them to play. missed them at Primavera this year, and i can't remember who for, but i know i made the wrong choice

[Mezhyp1]

Not around Glastonbury, but Carly Rae Jepsen is playing Islington Assmebly in December, that'll excitement some wonderous characters on here as I've seen her mentioned before 

[BlackHole2006]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. WEEN ARE BACK. IF THEY PLAY GLASTONBURY I WOULD LOSE MY FUCKING SHIT.

Piss Up A Rope! 

[Mezhyp1]

James Ford from The Last Shadow Puppets/Simian Mobile Disco has confirmed they've finished recording the new LSP album, and it'll be released in 2016

As soon as theres a wiff of them doing any touring, they'll be a shoe in for Glastonbury

Don't say such things! Frank & Co, you'd be very welcome.

oh dont get me wrong, there are few acts out there who'd id like to have at Glastonbury more. i missed them last year because i'm a massive tit, so any chance to remedy that would be welcome by me! but i just don't see it realistically happening. unfortunately big American acts like them are more of a one-off booking than a regular occurrence (which makes the booking more special when it does happen, but leaves fools like me in a sulk)

Yeah I completely agree. They were good last time and I wouldn't complain about seeing them again but there's no need to rebook them two years down the line after the last time was 25 years waiting or something.

Wilco and Beach House announced for Northside. Wilco now with a festival the weekend before and the weekend after Glastonbury. Lookin' good.

[TomViolence]

Good news! Hopefully they both play :D That Northside line-up is shaping up nicely

Nah not never, but I do agree its a bit soon realistically.  (Well unless they might have new material out soon?)

after the last album i'm not sure i want new material (or if they're actually working on any) but i guess if they wanna keep functioning as a band they'll have to release something new eventually, as they've done pretty much every other gimmick that reformed bands can do to keep going. don't think they'd be rebooked even if they did release something new though - their booking definitely wasn't a 'new album in the pipeline, let's book em' type thing. it was a 'Pixies are touring, time to get em', which is why i don't see them being booked any time soon, if ever

[Tuna]

Explosions in the Sky, April 2016. Probably not going to happen at Glastonbury, but, fuck! Could you imagine?

[Mezhyp1]

There was a few bands crossed over with the fest in the states last year 

[Mardy]

Half a dozen decent acts there. Not bad at all

[TiZuff]

I have a real bone to pick with crystal castles. I didnt go to arctic monkeys in 2013 and went to see them instead. they were late, the sound was off and it was shite. i was so fcking gutted. i wouldnt go see them again tbh.

That is a poor lineup but The Weekend, Haim, Ellie G, Grimes, Coasts and Flume I'd say are quite possible acts. Coasts again would be decent.

[FloorFiller]

hoping The Weeknd will be there. don't know what the fuck happened with him in 2013, but he owes us!

Arctic Monkeys were incredibly dull so if those were the two runners in that race you may have been fucked either way.

They have a new album ready to go, I believe. Recorded and everything. I coulda mentioned but I didn't wanna open a can of "Indie Cindy was bollocks wasn't it?" and have to try and defend it.
