I wasn't terribly impressed by the sound in JP in 2015 (much better this year) but Alvvays still managed to cut through that and were one of my sets of the festival. Really hoping they're back in 2017. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hope the surprises are stuff that only I like. Bugged me the past couple of years how terrible a stage it is when it's rammed. And it seems to get busy around tea time whoever's on so I guess that's a compliment to the area's food choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkic Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 The crowds for Pulp and Radiohead in years gone by were ridiculous/dangerous. Won't be something of that magnitude again. The surprise will more likely be Micky Eavis and The Pilton Swing Band singing Karma Police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture shows how busy it was and we found a space quite far up the hill lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EIaine Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 In that case, Spiritualized and Chas & Dave please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted October 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Not sure Spiritualized would be back so soon, unless they bring the LAGWAFIS tour. But I can guarantee that won't happen at Glastonbury. All's oddly quiet on the Yo La Tengo front... This year has to be the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlibertinedream Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Jagwa Ma would be a great addition at the park stage at night......saw them about a month ago playing their new stuff, sounded awesome Edited October 26, 2016 by mrlibertinedream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Too early to tell, but my initial reaction is that the 'surprises' will be more to do with the field than the line up - refreshing the layout of venues, maybe, new areas, that type of thing.....

BlackHole2006 Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 This is what I'm thinking as well. Don't think there will be anymore huge special guests after what happened with Radiohead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Park it's always had a good feel about it. I really should spend more time there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She played the stage in her early days, and I think she would be game for it. I can imagine her wanting to be at the festival anyway. I can imagine other people who have played the stage previously being invited back, such as The XX. Not a chance ! I think Public Service Broadcasting could be nearer the mark or they could get Damon to come up with a super group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
