Who's Touring Around Glastonbury 2017?

[Andy0808 v5]

Foster the people are playing somerset house in mid-July, hopefully they'll get an early day slot at the farm. Always a good act to get the day going. They were however my downfall in 2014(2015?), ended up getting way too smashed and passing out mid-way through Jurassic 5.

Could NIN actually be in play? I'd explode if they're on the poster.

RTJ's sure are back and forth!

2 US festival dates in July... both on a sunday... sunday other headliner? 

Not getting my hopes up unless they announce something in Europe, but would be incredible.

Well Neil is struggling with the Sunday Other Stage night headliner....

Would be brilliant to see Glastonbury throw a curve ball like Portishead in 2013, or QOTSA in 2011.

Green Day?

I thought that rumour was dead? Ed Sheeran vs Green Day. Dark, dark times ahead...

Portishead were expected to play in 2013, I'm sure. Not sure where it keeps coming from that they were a surprise?

The xx or Justice for Sunday Other tbh.

[jparx]

To be honest I'd be delighted with The xx in that slot and they would absolutely destroy it, but if you offered me a choice between The xx and a mystery guest, with a 10% chance it's NIN, I'd go for the mystery

I'm sure they were one of the surprises tbh

Not sure because I didn't go that year but I remember following speculation on here. I remember lots of discussion on where they'd play with the consensus being that it would be on a smaller stage than Other.

Was about to say maybe they became less likely as time went on due to lack of European dates or something but I just looked and they'd already been announced for other European fests in June since the preceding December (probably when the speculation over what slot they'd command began).

So does that rule out A Tribe Called Quest?

Cracking line-up that but why is Hannibal Buress so high up when there doesn't appear to be any other comedians on there.

Who said he's doing stand up?

 

[FloorFiller]

That lineup is absolutely ridiculous. I'd pretty much watch everybody there. 

As for NIN, like said above, unless they announce anything in Europe earlier on then I can't see it happening, and tbh I imagine this'll be the show that kicks off their tour which is a shame.

If we don't get Slowdive imma cry

Same. Though I've been saying this for the past few years. Possible Park headliner?

Can't deny it that's one very strong lineup, I like the majority of it too.

Also Nine Inch Nails, thats the kind of booking that would make my Glastonbury.

I don't think they'd headline, but yeah Park is the best place for em. Hopefully before a JAMC headline set on Saturday night

Purely hypothetically, do we think that NIN are too big to headline The Other, or about right? Just thinking of the comparison with Green Day and some people saying they were too ridiculous a booking for The Other. Even though I like GD, in my head NIN are bigger than them, but then I'm outrageously biased

And I know it's 100% not going to happen. Just humour me :-D

Green Day are much bigger than NIN, and yeah, the assumption is that they'd headline Other if they were to play, although Trent may well himself think they're too big for that these days.

Are Nine Inch Nails bigger now than when they did their farewell tour? Because I saw they were topping the second stage of festivals that summer.

Aye you're right so it's probably a non-issue. Still can't see them being on the lineup mind, but we can dream.

[cloudb]

Agreed, can't see it happening but I don't think it's their place on the billing that would prevent it.

When did they first play Glastonbury? 94? I always thought my exposure to them was live footage of them playing Glastonbury in the mid 90s but now I'm starting to think it was Woodstock.
