Well obviously.

So, we can glean absolutely nothing from it...

I thought it worth highlighting.  Sorry that you disagree.

On account of soulwax not being there? Please tell me Justice is not counted out for the Sunday night closer. Couldn't take it on the same day as ATCQ being ruled out/the below par Common announcement.

Maube not worth a Cornwell-esque thread, but RIP Frankie Paul

Yup.

Edit: I see Ice Cube is currently coming over purely for Roskilde. Guess it would make more sense for him to do the rest of Tribe's slots as opposed to coming over for just one show (not Parklife though as I think he did it last year?).

We Love Green have booked Justice to replace em, so I'd have thought that Roskilde date will indeed end up being a one off for Ice Cube

Yeah I definitely think that basketball tour thing will prevent him from doing Glastonbury at least. I expect they'll look to another outside act rather than bump an already booked act up to WH headliner (if ATCQ were ever there to replace in the first place).

[the wonderwhy]

One things for sure, I hope Parklife get wind of that Justice booking & go for it as well.

Soulwax are booked up on all three days. Pretty sure nothing's happened to rule out Justice that night though.

In the grand scheme of things, a minor embuggerance, I'll be seeing them at Bluedot. Justice better fookin be on though.

Someone remind me what are the other Friday headliners likely to be? Radiohead. Major Lazer. What else?

I can't say I'm the biggest ATCQ fan, but it was far and away my number one choice out of the three.

I have faith in the West Holts bookers though.

[CaledonianGonzo]

As far as I'm aware noone's really got a scoob as to any of the Acoustic headliners.

Ye but who the fuck watches Acoustic headliners? HA!

Oh no wait I saw Dexys Midnight Runners that year. That was a good night.

Were Status Quo not thought to possibly be one? 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I would go and see one if it was good and if the other stages were dry as a bone. Yes.

They were'n'all......but it'd be a bit like going to see, I dunno, The Stones and only getting 50% of Mick and Keith.

[Madyaker]

Status Quo? 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Status Quo without the personality, history, likeability and songs are headlining the Pyramid on the Saturday night.

Isn't Alison Moyet one of them ?
