Self Confirmed 2016

[lucyginger]

I did see John Otway, and I had chance to ask if he'd be there this year. Well, I say I had chance, what I mean is I was pissed and rambled some nonsense at him about Glastonbury, he said they usually play on the Friday or Saturday in the Caberet tent and probably will this year. Not his actual words, but something along those lines!

thanks - tho he's almost always there anyway, it's something just about anyone could have guessed right.

I know nothing about them, but they're looking like a West Holts act to me.

I spotted that as you did on Pollstar a while back, looked into it and all I could find was a Brazilian Rolling Stone article that said there's no signed contract but they've spoken to them, so I didn't offer it up as a self confirmation. They do seem like a WH act, you're right.

This was retweeted by the verified Skepta twitter account last night. I know it doesn't necessarily confirm him but it could mean that he has accepted a slot to play

There's plenty of people retweet stuff of no relevance, take Rivers Cuomo as a great example

I think it's fair to say that Skepta won't be playing on the pyramid

'Main stage Glastonbury' can mean one of the main stages though, can't it? So like Pyramid, Other, West Holts, John Peel sort of thing. Would've thought he'd be graduating onto those this year anyway so I wouldn't be surprised if that's gospel.

Yep I definitely expect to see him, more than likely in JP, that's my guess anyway

But that tweet would definitely suggest the main stage (pyramid)

Added these to the playlist - if you like Afrobeat (as you really should), they're well worth a listen:

One to add to the "Nah, ye're alright" list.

They sound pretty good to me, cheers. I saw something elsewhere about there being some Mexican acts at the festival again this year.

[pie_and_a_pint]

New York Brass Band are bound to be there. Outside Circus, 7pm, and everywhere else in between! They're ace!

I don't know if this is who Brave Sir Robin was talking about but saw this on fb

Yes - that's who @chazwwe posted about above. Their more recent stuff seems more electronic than that video, mind.

Yes - was great fun last year, when I had tickets in the bag. Now it's just making me nervous! 

Yeah too right!!

[craigyb31]

Oh aye I see, I just saw the name not the presents bit, one of these days I'll get one right ha ha

If no one had spotted it before... Saw that one on Twitter:

 

My Bad Sister is comming back to the Unfairground. That's not really a surprise, but that is definitely a self confirmation.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Hardly unexpected, but Cassetteboy / Dj Rubbish have self confirmed on Twitter.

have they? What account(s)?

They haven't at on the accounts I've looked at.

[krisskross]

They're playing Reading and Leeds!?! haha. Pretty sure they'll be at the glade at about 2pm on Sunday though.

I am shit with twitter. I never use it really.

I asked the question and got a reply, I presumed it could be seen by anyone...

Your twitter profile pic is not dissimilar from that on here.
