Who's Touring Around Glastonbury 2017?

[Bradders]

I know Classixx and Giraffage. I'm guessing from those two it's a pretty small DJ-based festival so don't be too hard on yourselves

[dentalplan]

The Russ Liquid Test sounds interesting.

[SwedgeAntilles]

I only recognise Cut Copy.

I recognise kittens too but I'm pretty sure I'd only be disappointed if I went along to see them.

[Buddy Holly]

You may recognise Shiba San - Okay.

And Bakermat I believe is your box-standard, Radio 1 friendly tropical house DJ

Man I'm either too old or too young because I recognise like two of the names from that poster.

Chet Porter rings a bell.

I would be proper chuffed if Cut Copy turned up at Glasto,

Probably Chet out of Weird Science i am thinking of.

Have we had any news on Slowdive at all? They've just announced some tiny club shows for the end of March so it's got me thinking. As far as I can tell they're not a Field Day exclusive...

Was gonna say, they're doing Liverpool and I'm very tempted. I think they must be a good bet for Glastonbury this year after dodging it for a couple of years since they reformed. Park headliner (or sub - I'm not sure exactly how big they are).

JESUS AND MARY CHAIN are playing end of the Rd festival... Would be nice to see them at Glastonbury. 

[the wonderwhy]

Yup I'm hoping for a JAMC - Slowdive evening on the Park. 

My only ask for the entire festival now, really. Apart from Justice on Sunday night.

it might be the case that the Diana Ross thing isn't right after all. It's certainly what is suggested by someone telling me Barry Gibb.

 

So the Legend Slot would be either one of Diana Ross or Barry Gibb?

Whereas, you listed Brian Wilson on Unknown Day, so he should be there regardless of the other two - and not on Sunday's legend slot?

Is that a fair assumption to make?

Wilson's already done the legend slot (can't remember year, 2004 or so?).

I'd like Wild Beasts from that lot please.  Where would they go now? Other? JP still in a higher slot? Park would be nice.

After headlining Park and high JP in previous years I'm expecting them to be mid-Other this time round if they're there.

Girl Band need to rip up a tent slot sooooooo bad.

Glasto shaped hole in their US tour, reckon they've planned it so Lars can spend a week in Somerset 

[SwedgeAntilles]

King Gizzard, Soulwax, Honeyblood, Real Estate, Circa Waves, Whitney and The Wytches please Mr Posterman

[the wonderwhy]

So much to take from that BKS setlist. All of the above plus Thurston Moore, Arab Strap, Slotface & Cigarettes After Sex. 

Lack of Slowdive is worrying though, thought they'd be nailed on for that & they haven't announced any festivals yet have they?

Field Day at the start of June and Mad Cool at the start of July so we're still good.

[dentalplan]

Didn't notice but the guys from Sparks were also in the Flow Festival announcement, and without a Franz Ferdinand in sight.

Although still very much out of the mainstream, Floating Points is really climbing up the festival bills these days. He was quality on The Park last year.

They've got their own album out this year. June may be a bit too early for them, hope not.
