mb'satglasto Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 8 hours ago, Spindles said: Undoubtedly the biggest omission, but as has been pointed out elsewhere, the lineup we have so far is stacked heavy with acts who could fill the last 4 slots on any stage and it looks unlikely that such slots are free for a band of their size right now. I'm still hopelessly optimistic that they are going to be a late surprise for us. That perfect gap in their touring schedule that sees them finish a US tour a week before and playing European festivals from the week after just has to be for a reason (clutching at straws to the bitter end). I think the biggest positive you can hang on to at the moment is there's nothing going on uk festival wise. Maybe there's a reason why an announcement for any festival is being held back. Very unusual. Can see them being the last headliner at bestival but don't see them as an 'exclusive.' Surely would have been announced early doors for that to increase ticket sales and payment plans etc. Nothing to stop glasto adding a few more names to yesterday's poster in a few weeks. Been done before! (Metallica?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindles Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Yup, this is what I'm clinging to. Last few years the final lineup has included a few big names that weren't on the initial poster and some that weren't even seemingly on the radar for the slots they played so I'm hoping that they (and a few more) will be nice surprises in a few weeks when we know more.

Good so far but a few decent extras over the next few weeks would sweeten it up even more. A few font size adjustments and we could see a fair few more acts on that poster by April!

I am a little biased though as I do love them but the rest of the crowd also seemed to love them. I suppose even the best bands can have an off day. I am also biased on the matter, must of seen them a good 15 times since my dad first took me when i was 11! Never seen them at Glasto though, would make my weekend if they were added.

Alan_C Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 What slot would even be left for Faithless to play? 2nd top Other on Sunday? There doesn't seem to be much space for them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Tracey Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I would love Tame Impala, Kendrick, Faithless or Radiohead or anybody! This is first time since 2011 so just happy. Kendrick is not headlining BST so probaly hasnt got a tie in contract. Radiohead played Park Stage in 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt they'll appear on the 'line up' but I wouldn't be surprised if they do a secret Williams Green gig to promote new music like Bastille did last year if I remember correctly. 17 hours ago, thewayiam said: not yet announced WHs headliner but I don't see it. I think this is very plausible for Faithless, they'd definitely be a good option to put up against Adele. Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't most of the acts that got added after the initial poster last year acts that had a number of other UK festival shows going on, dunno if that has any significance at all but Faithless would fall into that category this year.
