bumped from the lineup due to the Bowie tribute taking the Park headline slot - now we've got two reasons to be pissed off about Bowie's death

The Croft's new career as a cricket umpire has got in the way of his gigging schedule.

I know Kate Tempest is there, but I'm sure she was on at least 3 of the earlier announcements but I can only see her spoke word set and the group thing on Sunday. Got onto Everybody Down a little late and haven't had a chance to see it yet...

Yes, she was announced for the Hell Stage as well here: http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/areas/shangri-la/shangri-hell/

There are still some gaps on the line-up on Friday and Saturday though.

Where's most of these?

I took a screenshot of eFests rumours last  November. All 3 main headliners featured but not much else......

Really? Doing arenas later in the year isn't he? I'd say he's a bigger name than PJ Harvey.

Doing two arena shows, one in Liverpool and one in London. Seems to be selling it with all Verve tracks looking at the press release.

His solo stuff is absolutely dreadful so very happy not to see him, particularly if it meant taking up a good spot.

I was expecting/hoping to see The Kills on there.

(R)'s never mean anything. Someone only has to mention a band for them to be put on rumours list.

Shit, them as well. They were all but guaranteed as far as I was concerned too. Ah well, there's enough as it is.

Well 2 are dead for starters.

The rumours from last November are just that. Rumours based on press reports, wild speculation and titbits. You didn't seriously expect more than 5 or 6 off that list of 'headliner level' acts?!!

Though as you can see, Neil got the 3 headliners spot on and the days correct too.

Not sure that "expected" is the right word. But I'd convinced myself that Lush were going to play, and used that as consolation when I couldn't make their London shows.

Now have to think about whether I can make it up to Manchester later in the year.

If you're a fan of pre Lovelife Lush, then I would say you should go to Manchester.  They were bloody immense at the Roundhouse

Oh Wonder were on the clashfinder for JP  before, I assumed that it was based on something but was it just rubbish?

[Keithy]

They weren't 'expected' but this is now back to back Glastonbury's that Sleater Kinney are missing.......they seemed perfect for the Park too.

I really regret missing their tour last year due to the misplaced confidence they were nailed on for Glastonbury in 2015

[gorfield]

I was hoping for the National

[JanieM28]

Fun Lovin' Criminals.

Mind you, there are some gaping holes on certain stages and as Tom Robinson is on BBC Introducing, and Huey is also a 6 Music presenter...

I don't think they're the type of band Glastonbury will ever get. Very niche band that command a good weight of indie respect in the US, but over here they'll have smaller fests way more enthusiastic for them. Even if they happen to be in the UK next summer, I wouldn't bet on them playing. I saw them on their tour last year, one of the greatest gigs I've ever seen, make it your foremost priority when they're back around.

Ben Folds & The Sherlocks

Parquet courts!

[cidy]

I thought faithless were in with a shout

Gutted no skinny lister either or frank Turner 

[mufcok]

Be interested to know where the Ashcroft info came from to go TBC Neil must have been pretty confident..

[Badlands]

I know that the tour dates didn't lend himself to appearing, but I genuinely thought that Anderson.Paak was going to be across for the weekend and save my rather scant West Holts 'must see' list. The fact Little Simz seems to be supporting him all the way up to his Houston gig the wednesday before, flying across to play Glastonbury and then going back for his LA gig the Monday after gave me so much hope.

I was in Glasgow for his cancelled gig earlier this year, and the rearranged one is the Wednesday after Glastonbury. Can't make that. Fuming!!
