Bittersweet Symphony is a great tune though.

remember when some people on here were convinced he was going to announce the rest of the names on the full lineup on BBC Breakfast

I think we actually thought he might be appearing to coincide with a lineup announcement that morning (not on tv) which included him.

This summer I'd love to sit outside with a relaxing cocktail in the sunshine, on the lush green grass, watching Liam Fray desperately running around and screaming for his life after being set on fire.

Number One Album...?

[Madyaker]

He's hardly enough of a legend for the legend slot is he? I'm not well up on 80s pop but I only know who he is because of the whole Rick rolling thing. Was he huge in the 80s?

He was bigger than Mel and Kim. But not bigger than Jason and Kylie. All of whom were bigger than Kyle Maclachlan. Sinitta was busy under SiCo.

Rick Astley would be a helluva booking for the Avalon tent, in an early evening slot a'la Lulu or Will Young.

My Mrs was many who swooned over him in the 80s and whilst it holds no interest for me, I'd have to go see him to make her jealous that decided against chasing a ticket for 2017.

The UK, this year. Only a few weeks before the Brexit vote, an obvious omen in hindsight.

Here. 23Rd bestselling album of the year apparently too. 

No legend slot indeed but certainly having a Renaissance of a kind. Solid Pyramid booking, pre legend slot on the Sunday. Would probably pull a decent crowd too.

I would like him and A-ha and the Durans and ABC doing Lexicon of Love. Clearly I need to go to one of those odd 80s festivals. For shame.

No shame in that. Them Rewind festivals look fantastic. Human League, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Soul 2 Soul on the same day.

The Lexicon of Love, what an album. Even Britpop-grunge-AM-loving lunatics the NME like The Lexicon of Love, it's that good.

Example has just announced he is touring next year

[tevaburger]

Dandy Warhols - inexplicably absent since 2002 - have a Feb/March Europe tour which worries me that they aren't looking to be back 3-4 months later...a shame

[FuzzyDunlop]

What chances the flaming lips turning up.

JP headliners would be perfect? They are in manchester and I am at Black Sabbath that night. Fuming!

They've just been announced for Vida Festival in Spain the weekend after Glastonbury so that's a good start.

Thank you.

They better not clash with Radiohead of they play

[internetjef]

Just noticed that flight of the Conhcords are coming to the end of a US reunion tour , which has included some new music.

Anyone know if they plan to bring that tour to Europe next year? Appreciate it would probably be dependent on their respective TV/movie commitments.

would love to see them get a slot at the festival somewhere (even without the new music).

Hopefully he'll also announce that he's elsewhere over Glastonbury weekend soon enough. Although in fairness the days where he'd be an Other Stage sub should be long gone so he probably wouldn't be too intrusively placed if he were to be booked.

Probably JP headliner now.
