Art Garfunkel self confirmed

[Martin Ashford]

Acoustic might seem logical but i'm going Pyramid. If Barry Gibb was the second legend planned (and now seems out) Art might well be his replacement. There are quite a few singalongs there. For Emily might just finish me off.

Before you start, just know that I've seen you discussing Muse setlists in the headliner thread, when you know full well there's only one place to be on the Friday night. We all have our foibles.

[FloorFiller]

was starting to think we wouldn't get the option to do funny fancy dress at this years festival. thank god for Garfunkel. giant curly ginger wigs at the ready lads!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Rabbit costumes, if you don't  mind.

When I was a kid I used to think Chevy Chase was Art Garfunkel. Confusion stemmed from the 'You Can Call Me Al' video and always hearing people talk about Simon and Garfunkel, just presumed that was the two of them.

Finbarr!

That's the sort of personal touch that you can expect from the Eavises.

John Giddings offered me a reach around before. Not my type though.

Great news! Art Garfunkel, Jeff Lynne's ELO, PJ Harvey, possibly ZZ Top, Radiohead and Earth, Wind and Fire. Glastonbury 2016 is beginning to look really good!

Your dad should never speak to you again. 

Thought it was a solo artist until you just said "them". Zachary Zayne Top.

[FuzzyDunlop]

This Art Garfunkel news us a welcome and surprising addition. 

Hopefully we can get some goid news on West Holts headliners soon

Glastonbury is the one place where I can happily let the emotional connection I have to certain songs get the better of me, and not give a flying fuck who sees me. Last year it was Fisherman's Blues and Sunshine on Leith, this year Bright Eyes will definitely be one. I'll see you there, and we can bawl our eyes out together!

it's odd. For reasons i still don't know, I had a proper good sob when The Stones played "You can't always get what you want". No emotional connection to the song, guess it was just tiredness and the emotion of seeing The Stones and knowing my folks were watching at home and how much they loved them. I remember my friend asking why i was crying and having to say "i've no idea!!!"

If you're dodging it this year, you're doing well. That's probably why. 

Indeed. Fierce dose doing the rounds.

[Funkyfairy!]

E festivals meet at Art ... I have a feeling none of my Gang will join me for this, and I'll feel like a right pleb bawling by myself !

[somecoolusername]

First confirmed act I'm really happy about. Can't wait to cry my fucking eyes out to The Boxer. I fear for clashes if he's headlining Acoustic though.

Current set list he is playing 

Oh crap. I'm gonna cry. I just know it.

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'll take the coffin dodgers while we can.

Soon come a time that we'll be left with Can McVann, Tim Healey Jnr and not much else besides.
