[supreme]

Has anyone ever played Glasto 3 years in a row in predominantly good slots?

Depends how good you mean. Wolf Alice did mid-JP 2014, mid-Park 2015 and then mid-Pyramid 2016.

Who is it you're talking about?

I just came across CATB's tour dates and they have the whole of June off with some UK slots are the start of July.

Rare Earl Sweatshirt outing. Nice.

Ah okay. I doubt it really because they'd be playing on the back of the same album and would get a pretty similar slot. Probably have this year off and return in 2019 when they've got new material to play.

Earl would be a nice booking. Never seen him solo, was supposed to be seeing him at Werchter in 2013 when he cancelled all his Summer dates or something. Haven't really listened to any Odd Future-related releases since around then but I've still always been impressed when I've heard him pop up on things.

They've been on the other both years and both years it's been miserable and pissed down with rain during their set, I say this because I've had to endure it both times as one of our group likes them. I'd imagine they'd want to try and get on the Pyramid if they perform this year, but I'm sincerely hoping they don't.

Travis Scott dates.

Hmm.

He's also playing festivals in DK and Germany over Glasto weekend. Goosebumps.

I said about this but it got squashed but 3rd down Pyramid isn't out of the question as they would sub Other and are way bigger than JP now. What Glasto does it gives them the TV time too while they are increasing their reputation overseas in the states.

Some new names added to Garorock

Yep yer reading that right. Beth Ditto is back. John Peel Stage legends' slot?

It was her that soundtracked the new 'This Girl Can' advert*

I hate lineups that announce/display acts in alphabetical order.

How big is your group? If one person from our group suggested going to Catfish they would be ignored and probably shunned for the rest of the weekend. Thin the herd, natural selection and all that.

There has been a group of 6 us the past two years, we've tended to stick together and see what each of us want to see as a group, I'm very easy going and am normally happy to go with the flow, although by the end of the festival we normally end up splitting up a bit because of a couple of them get really annoying and bossy, I've ended each Festival questioning how they actually get any enjoyment from it.

they aren't going this year so we will just be seeing what we want (me and my wife) and not having to compromise and watch crap like Catfish and the Bogeyman, I absolutely cannot wait.

I thought they were pretty well known. Got some things on Netflix. Quite fun, but it gets as tired as most comedy bands obviously. 

Never heard of 'em. Relieved that it isn't Art & John. Will look them up.

Jackson Browne could play on the Sunday, he's playing London on Fri and Sat. ME is a massive fan.

Took Local Natives out of my prediction last night as I saw they weren't in Europe over Glasto but annoying to have it fully ruled out. Loved their last album.

Edit: Ah I thought Thundercat was likely and put him into my prediction last night haha. Straight out he goes.

Shame to see Local Natives ruled out. Catching them at Sound City in May though, so buzzing for that.

[DownboundTrain52]

Only Thundercat ruled out in earnest there, so knock that one on the head.

This elimination game is pretty fun - until the one you desperately want is knocked off.
