Who's Touring Around Glastonbury 2017?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Ooh - 48 Crash as well.  That's a belter.

This Phil Collins and Toto talk is getting me very excited, would love to see both.

guess Macklemore could appear but not too sure on where he'd place now that his latest album didn't really make the impact of his first. 

Understatement. Considering they promoted Downtown to death, the success of the first record, and the fact there was a collaboration with Ed Sheeran on there, it can be counted as a big fat flop. JPT headliner at best now I should think.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Maroon 5 just put out a song with Kendrick Lamar so he can come on for a camero appearance when they play third down before his headline slot a few hours later, sorted

Prophets of Rage doing Rock Am Ring Germany on 4th June.

Would be perfect Other Headliners. Especially vs Ed Sheeran. Make it happen

This. People are mooting Prophets of Rage as headliners at R+L, or Download, and I just don't see them as having the broad enough appeal. We're de la Rocha there...

But the Other Stage seems spot on for me! Sound booking. 

Where would you put Toto? They feel WesHolts to me,but frankly unsure.

I was thinking they'd make good pyramid openers, I don't see them playing any kind of prominent slot

I can't see that. I could see them being 3rd down on the Pyramid maybe. Other sub wouldn't surprise, but the political nature of the act make them perfect Glastonbury band.

I agree, they do suit, the only problem is, they're really just a massive novelty, and quite frankly a bit shit. I like Rage, but Rage they are not. Il be surprised if they play, il be even more surprised if it's a billed slot high up the line up 

[CaledonianGonzo]

West Holts headliner?

[dentalplan]

I like the principle of Prophets of Rage. RATM nostalgia tours were kinda pissing on the purpose of the band in the first place and now they've recruited Chuck D (which is a much bigger deal than has been made out) and others, wrote new songs and tried to spread the message again. New songs are woeful but eh, they're trying to write Rage songs and most of those are best thru rose-tinted specs so it's okay really - I imagine it's kinda the reason Zach didn't wanna continue in the first place.

Now they're not headlining European festivals and stuff I don't see why they would in the UK, so it'd be a evening Other Stage job or something. They'll be high up at Download or Reading but I guess there'd still be room for Glasto with that.

EDIT: but that ZDLR song is one of the firest things I've heard all year so I know which I'd rather.

More famous than Peter Frampton.  And much cooler name.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's Leather Tuscadero, man!

[jonodillieono]

Never had any interest whatsoever for Prophets of Rage but that setlist looks fun as fuck

[Justiceforcedave]

Toto would be a fantastic West Holt's headliner or alternatively afternoon Pyramid act. I know they're viewed by many as a novelty but they're a shit hot band.

[The Nal]

+1 for Prophets of Rage. 

 

[Justiceforcedave]

...fun Toto fact. Current lead singer Joseph Williams is the son of John Williams AND provided the singing voice for Simba in the Lion King.

[CaledonianGonzo]

They'd better do a version of Hakuna Matata

[The Nal]

Toto would be great fun. Pity Bobby Kimball isn't in the band anymore. 

I was at this.

 

[ghostdancer1]

could see Prophets of Rage 3rd or maybe 2nd on the Other, no way are they headliners.

[Mezhyp1]

Give them an hour in the Friday morning sunshine on the pyramid to wake everyone up with an absolute trash through some bangers, you know it makes sense!!
