Daytime Other fodder int he. Could flop. Could make him. 

Or Park, in a similar slot to Floating Points last year?

Yes, but Yussef Kamaal is no more as 2 of the key members have split very very recently. They were meant to play Leeds on Sunday but have pulled out due to it.

I would expect it was booked as YK, but that they are changing the act slightly and the name to perform at glasto.

Ah, nice one. Hopefully the show goes on. Love Black Focus as a record.

So, is the general consensus that you could watch 1 hour of the Foo Fighters and then the full Jacksons set?

And then back for the last hour of the Foos should you wish 

[kalifire]

Unbelievable line up from WH. That's sublime.

It'll be a shame to miss Dizzee but not as big a shame as missing ATCQ so small blessings, I suppose.

Delighted Kate Tempest shouldn't be clashing in that slot. She's a must see for me.

No RTJ, so they'll be heading John Peel, then? PLEASE let that not be on Friday.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's very strong, but then so are the probable clashes.  Hopefully Chic are on before Barry Gibb.

Clashfinder has updated with the WH stage btw. 

[Harry49]

So Saturday is looking like a Pyramid v WH face off for me! Would happily stay at WH from Thundercat onwards but the rumoured KP - The National - Foos means I will probably miss most, particularly if Dave gets his 2.5 hr set. Going to need a lot of luck on timings and some running shoes! Still going to be a great day whatever!

[Icewulf]

Fantastic lineup. Sunday is looking like a great choice for us Sheeranphobes.

[6t6o6m]

There are going to be so many clashes. Glad Justice is playing on Sunday. 

[Wilfko]

West Holts Sunday eve/night for me!

[Spindles]

Shame Anderson .paak clashes with The XX for me.  That lineup is tip top though, you could easily not move. 

[The Nal]

Fantastic. Loads I've never seen before.

Anderson, Ata Kak, Solange, Avalanches, BadBad, Thundercat, Cinematic, Shaggy, Oumou

Toots unmissable obviously. He seems to have got his game face back in recent months!!

Fucking bring it!!

 

[Icewulf]

Justice couldn't be a better festival closer for me. So stoked.

[FuzzyDunlop]

 

Not that much I'll be seeing there as Hot 8 brass band will clash with hacienda, Anderson.Paak will clash with someone Shaggy will clash with Bazza.
I will try to watch the avalanches and I could be at Justice.

Most of the early stuff I don't know - will check it out online and see if anything grabs me. Dakkabrakkha last year was an unknown and loved it

Yeah it's a wonderful basket of names but I can't bring myself to get excited about this until the rest of the names are out. Thundercat on nice and early is good juju.

[faymondo]

Tempted by the Jacksons. Anybody tip me off as to how they perform minus MJ and any hints of what their setlist currently is ?

So does that tee up Paak to clash with Lorde and the Flaming Lips?

Most likely clashing with Lorde but I don't think there's any way he could be clashing with the Flips. They'll be 3rd Other or JP headliners.

I wonder if he's headlining The Park, I don't think that's out of the question 

Kano init.

And Afriquoi

Top notch all round.

I wouldn't count on that. Cancelled a whole tour, so I reckon it's unlikely the Glasto date remains.

This is going to cause a heated discussion

[Gucci Piggy]

Anyway, Justice confirmed as my Sunday headliner and Thundercat in a nice early slot are both good bits of news.

Kate Tempest I'd like to see but I feel like she's gonna lose out due to clashes.

Does all this put Damian out of the picture now do you know Neil?

The current line-up comprises one ghost, one hologram, one animation, another ghost, LaToyah and Joe Jackson in a bathchair cracking a whip behind them.

Think it's given me clashes where I didn't want 'em and an almighty gap where I was looking for a Friday Night Special.

Eurgh way to rain on my parade. Cant find any info on the cancellations though. And why would they still be included in the announcement if they had cancelled?
