You still a Wailers fan Neil?

you mean smallish the bunch of musicians that have been the band for just about every Jamaican release for the last 50 years? That bunch of no talents?

Martha Reeves and the Vandellas playing on the Friday in Portsmouth and London on the Sunday.

Fair warning, mind - her voice isn't what it once was.

Reeves doing the R&B legends slot on the Park and Wilson chilling in the.. Acoustic?

Not sure anyone was particularly excited about their status on the rumours list but I see You Me at Six have been announced for a German festival on the Saturday of Glasto, in addition to their appearance at Hurricane & Southside. I guess that rules them out. Don't right understand why they keep lying to Couchy but there you go.

Am I right in thinking that's twice now they've said they're playing Glastonbury and aren't playing? I haven't been expecting them since they were announced for R&L given their lies about that too. Strange guys tbh.

Well I guess that opens up the 'Kerrang/Reading & Leeds band on the Other Stage' slot that I made up.

Here we go Twenty One Pilots 

[henry bear]

Alice Cooper starts a European tour (including festivals) in Barcelona on 1st July. No UK dates on this leg thus far. Not likely I know, but a possibility for the Motorhead/ZZ Top slot (if they're persevering with it).

Charlatans new album is out May 26th and they will tour that i assume around then...

New public service broadcasting album (about the welsh mining industry) out july 7th, so same with that i assume!

Fantastic! Glad they aren't playing. Wonder who the Eavis' booked at the NME awards then

Saw a pair of gigs across Thursday and Friday that, no word of a lie, both fall into my all-time top 20 (and I'm well intro triple figures).

These artists? Gojira and Rick Astley.

The latter is probably more likely than the former - but both are currently in Europe around the Glasto weekend (Gojira have no dates scheduled but are between European legs, whilst Rick plays Dalby Forest on the Friday).

Gojira were, shy of Metallica, probably the most technically excellent, thrilling heavy metal band I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. Stick 'em on JP mid-afternoon and they'll get a decent crowd.

Rick Astley would have been everything that Telegraph and Guardian critics will hate - as in uproariously good fun and self-deprecating, but also vocally superb and and backed by a crack band. Even the songs that should have been hokey - pretty much all of them, from the SAW to the clubland covers - just flew instead. Very warm, very good. Stick him in the slot Madness had last year and he'll probably justify it with ease.

Would take with a pie on the side, though feel that seeing Cooper in daylight is a bit of a con for his stage production. Hoping to take in his arena show in the autumn.

I'd love to see Jimmy at the festival this year. They are in Germany the Friday, Saturday and then a gap until Wednesday in Berlin. What are the chances of them playing the Sunday? Bit tight but possible!

Not the same I know but he could still bring out the guillotine, snakes, hunchbacks etc, and has plenty of songs the audience would be familiar with.

Exclusive at R&L too I believe

[jparx]

Yeah Jimmy Eat World are one of those always on my Glastonbury wishlist. Hopefully they're touring in 2019, and we get both them and Weezer.

Did anyone catch Ed Miliband speak last year? 

We saw him, can't remember what he was talking about though, Mr Charm thinks it was about renewable energy but I'm not so sure, love The Speakers Forum, fascinating talks and a nice place to have a chill, always pay a few visits.

True. Schools Out and Eighteen would go down very well.
