Who's Touring Around Glastonbury 2017?

[henry bear]

Hmm, where would 'The Beach Boys' play? Hope it's not the Legend slot...

seems it's not Brian for Glasto after all - I've had what I believe is accurate info on that.

So if the other info is correct, it looks like it's the Beach Boys after all - which is actually what the guy said, anyway. It was me that decided it must be Brian.

That would mean Spain -> UK -> Italy. Although, as been said a million times the logistics are a lot less of an inconvenience at festivals. I would love this though, would be such an uplifting set

Eddie Vedder is doing solo, June 24 at Florence, Italy

Would love to see that.

This would be incredible... if he did play where do we think he would play?

XX on the Park Stage

Wait what  That would need to be clashed with the resurrection of Michael Jackson to be safe, not having that at all

Not "as well", because Neil has just trusted your info.

I don't doubt you've been given the info and that you trust it but I think some wires have been crossed somewhere, because The xx are far too big for The Park and they don't do secret sets anymore.

Sorry, I thought he had heard it elsewhere to me saying. 

Equally, I agree with what you're saying. However, I have no reason to doubt him...

Bruce Johnston's still there, I think.

Yeah, seeing as Jamie XX is still doing the occasional show maybe it's him on the Park with the band on the Pyramid as expected. Cannot see the band on the Park in any circumstances

Would Jamie XX headline the Park? He subbed in 2015, would he do the same again or lower even if its not his only set? Maybe he just loves the Park.

Absoslutely huge booking for the Barras. The line up is pretty unbelievable across the board actually. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yeah...can see myself had to at least a couple of the days.  Not even that much of a DM fan, but always interested in seeing megabands in relatively intimate venues.

[blue6field]

Only £30 a ticket as well

[SwedgeAntilles]

I'd be quite happy seeing The xx subbing the Pyramid, Jamie xx headlining the Park, xXx on the drive in cinema while drinking Castlemaine XXXX*

*probably not the last two 

[thewayiam]

If that Beach Boys instead of just Brian Wilson is correct and given the other two legends we know about for Sunday then FF Gaga and Beach Boys on Saturday huge...I'm presuming they wouldn't be chosen to do the 3rd down slot Radiohead day.

[FatAmmy]

The current iteration of Beach Boys would be a disappointing booking for me. Mike Love is a complete jackwagon who kicked most of the original members out of the band with the exception of a brief reunion tour in 2012. If you ignore all that, it'dd still be a fun singalong, but definitely not the same

Father John misty are playing norway 21 june and Fuji rock 28th june
