Thanks. At work so can't get on to that website.

Although I will say that I may have missed the bit where she said more announcements in April - I will have to listen again.

Wait, there are seriously people who don't know who D'Angelo is?  What a world.

Anyway, got to be WH headliner unless Adele has specifically requested him, right?

Her son is called Angelo if I recall correctly. 

Overheard in Pilton .....

"So Adele called, she asked if she can bring Angelo with her"

"Ok, no problem". *Googles Angelo, Singer*

*hmmm there is a D'Angelo, he lives in the US, so does Adele, must be him*. *Calls D'Angelo's agent" 

"So Adele has asked if D'Angelo will play Glastonbury with her"

D'Angelos Agent - "Of course, Amazing" *I have the easiest job ever*

What was the name of that bloke on Shooting Stars that replaced Jonny Vegas? All I can picture is him.

Would definitely prefer him I think

But why not make an announcement.  Bloody strange.  If I was part of his PR team, I'd be annoyed

Wouldn't be the first time his PR team have been upset over the years, I'd imagine.

If I was part of his PR team I'd be sacked! None of us have heard of him!

He fixes the clashes but kills the Radiohead dream. He's a bastard whatever he does.

No way he subs. Could play pyramid like Mary J but not a sub. Basically this tells me we have no idea from the poster who's playing where. 

I'm pretty certain Adele is headlining the Pyramid on the Saturday 

[defrio29]

This is very odd, 

I think when the poster was out people mentioned how odd to see BECK name with that big of a size. The only change to the poster is to his size,and they put in D'Angelo in between..

Which makes me wonder, perhaps Radiohead was in the poster, but last minute was taken off, maybe something happen and they are not playing anymore? Then perhaps the festival was scrambling for last minute pyramid sub replacement and D'Angelo was the best thing they could get?

I'm pretty sure Beck is still the same size. LCD Soundsystem have gotten bigger and the gaps between acts have got smaller. That's all I can see has changed.

The Radiohead dream was dead anyway. Much rather have them in a headline slot next year

The size of Beck's font has stayed the same it's just the colour that's changed. LCD Soundsystem, however, has nearly doubled in height

that's odd, so who get smaller then? because the left and right side of the poster is still the same size, and Hinds and Lapsley are still aligned with Grimes.

Anyway, do we expect more small update like this (in the style of 'The Life of Pablo' ) as we go along or is this a one time thing ?

His latest album was incredibly critically acclaimed. Anydecentmusic.com who amalgamate all music reviews into an average score have it as the second best album in the last 7 years amongst some very esteemed company. I've tried it numerous times but to me, it's just ok. Would love to chill middle of the day watching but wouldn't be sub or headliner material for me.

what I don't get is that all the people logging on to say "who" (which for some reason I hear in my head as the Marc and Lard ............."whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Don't just use that time / internet bandwith to have look online to find out who he is?

Albumoftheyear.org (also aggregates ratings) has Black Messiah as album of 2014, and Voodoo as album of 2000, above Kid A.

Like you I've given him a try in the past and didn't enjoy it. Not my thing.

[pedmills]

As we all know, the festival is organised from a single desktop computer running Windows 95 in Michael Eavis’s shed. I expect his name got left off in some kind of mix up when their dial up connection cut out. They’ll be putting it back in so high up as an apology.

Just did and can't say it grabbed me. As someone said, just bland r'n'b. Mary J Blige slot for sure.

It took me less than ten seconds to say I didn't know who he was, how much of his back catalogue could I expect to cover in that time?

About ten seconds worth, maybe a bit less, I reckon. 

[SwedgeAntilles]

There's absolutely zero chance of an act who appeared on the poster without so much as a tweet to attract attention to it subbing the Pyramid. 

Having said that given the positive reports on here from people who are fans I'm sure he'll do well in whatever slot he ends up.

[dooke10]

I am really surprised by the lack of knowledge on D'Angelo and that isn't in a bragging way, just because many of the people on here who say they don't know him usually know loads of the acts that I have to really read up on and none of them are anywhere near as big as I perceive D'Angelo! Good article below from his comeback, his live shows are 5 star reviews as are the albums.

Just listened to a bit of D'Angelo. Dull. Won't be watching, totally out of place if he is a Pyramid sub!
