Listened to most of the interview yesterday (sorry if this has already been covered), and he was VERY complimentary about the festival. He basically said stuff like it's the best festival in the world, and they feel like being home there. He also said that it doesn't get any better than being in Shangri-La at 3am.

He also alluded to 'some dates' next year, which sounded like big shows of some sort (although he wasn't giving much away and I might be adding 2 + 2 together).

The interview is well worth an hour of your time though if you can spare it.

You are adding 2 + 2 together. In this case though equalling 5 is a good thing.

Is there any word on when next year's tour is likely to be announced?

Ed was still being coy about any dates being nailed down for next year in his interview yesterday so i would't expect anything too soon

Any word on when the band is meeting?  Other than just before next year's tour is announced.

When was the Ed interview recorded? Wasn't there a piece of info floating about that suggested end of this month for tour dates?

Unfortunate ad placement...

That article is ostensibly good news. Bit nervous though that Radiohead are in as SR for Saturday, the same day Ed Sheeran is rumoured. Assume this is due to the Daft Punk info for Friday

Until there's some sort of concrete evidence Sheeran is touring next summer I'm quietly confident. He's a bit of a star these days so you'd imagine the PR machine would have to be in full swing before Glastonbury.

it was broadcast yesterday - he (basically) says he doesn't know, but with a strong inference that suggests they probably are.

When someone from the band says "we haven't been asked yet", then you can put them down as a TBC :-)

Haha I'd be well chuffed if they played 28 tracks  unless they sub themselves it won't happen.

[Chawk]

One thing I noticed from all these set lists is that EIIRP comes before Idioteque now...when I swear it used to (2003) always be Idioteque before EIIRP.

They'd play all day if I had my way.

[Memory Man]

Realistically they'd have 2 hours wouldn't they, so how many tunes roughly do we think that'd be?

20-23? that would be pretty decent.

[morph100]

Any reasoning why they are rumored for Saturday and not Friday or Sunday?

[jparx]

Since they've been consistently getting 23-24 songs on this tour, I would think they would get that at Glastonbury even if it's a little longer than the usual headline set.

I think because Stone Roses can only play Friday or Sunday, and the Daft Punk rumour specifically stated Friday.

so could be daft punk, ed sheeran, radiohead in that order then (praying to get ed Saturday because I've bet on it :-)

yeah i think if you were G you would just give them whatever they wanted really! and then just work the rest of the day's timings / lineup from there backwards. At least, that's what I would do.

If Ed is in the mix, I think Radiohead, Sheeran and Roses would be the way to go, although I'd personally prefer RH on Sunday.

Just listened to an extract from Ed's 6Music interview with Matt Everett.  Its pretty exciting stuff.  23-24 tracks sounds like the dream, the set could be split into 2 halves, the first being OKC in its entirety and the second a mixed bag.  That would be incredible.

[Gucci Piggy]

They're not going to play OK Computer in full headlining Glastonbury in 2017 whilst touring a new album. And it's a good job, too.

Fair one, suppose it would be a divisive thing to do.

[stuartbert two hats]

I really don't want them to play OK Computer in its entirety. I can't think of a single band that has released a vital sounding album after doing one of those full album shows. It's a death knell for a band being a going concern and and admission that you're a legacy act now. Radiohead are somehow still recording music that's up there with their best, even now. I'd hate them to become backwards looking.
