Who's Touring Around Glastonbury 2017?

[ghostdancer1]

not that they would be booked there, but if Paul Weller can sub the Pyramid, I'm sure the Manics could pull it off if needed, they've enough hits down through the years. probably more popular than Beck too tbf, although Beck is arguably more "current".

i'd expect headlining JP or maybe 2nd/3rd down Other though.

3rd down Other would be identical to last time, I'd go for opening Other and I don't think they need to accept that or JP headliner 

[ghostdancer1]

considering they've done zero since then to deserve being bumped up, I think they should be delighted if they got the same slot, or headlining JP.

Other opener would be good too.

For those mentioning Cage the Elephant in the last few pages, I have been led to believe they will be present and correct.

Cheers. Any idea where they will be placed on the line up or is that asking to much?

Got suggested a few pages back that they'd either be around second down the JP stage or mid other. Sounds about right to me. Great band, hope I can catch them but I've seen them a few times in the last year or so, so not the end of the world for me if they clash.

Manics opening the Other Stage would mean my top festival highlight might come very early this year!

Not complaining though, great way to wake up Friday and shake off the afterglow of Trippy Thursday

If the manic street preachers play as they are strongly rumoured,  where would they slot? Love to see them before radiohead. 

Sorry if already asked, was excited seeing them as SR

As much as I love them, I don't think they're penultimate Pyramid anymore. Last time, they were third top of Other.. Think they'd be quite ideal for the "secret" Friday opener on Other, or maybe headlining Park or John Peel.

Pretty much this. I don't know, but I would imagine JP as most likely. Seems like the obvious place and the info this came through is someone else that is playing JP so would make sense - but then again might have no correlation.

Anyone reckon Foster the people or The Libertines will be playing ? And if hacienda classical were to play, what slot would you reckon they'd get ?

No chance of the Libertines. They are now falling back to their rightful position in the music industry.

I think headlining JPT is most likely myself. If FFS can do it.....

Met Gareth from Los Campesinos today, said they hadn't been asked, would probably want to, but more than likely aren't doing any festivals.

Phoenix nailed on after their tour announcement?

[SwedgeAntilles]

CoS suggesting that most, if not all, of the Gorillaz collaborators will be showing up at their festival hing. Not sure if increases the chances of any of them appearing at Glastonbury too

This is tremendous work, thesecretingredientiscrime! Who do we harangue for William's Green bookings? We need to inundate their inbox. I remember Gareth getting annoyed on FB a few years ago with people telling them to play such and such a fest, said go bother the bookers because they can only play if they're asked.

Queens of the Stone Age would be a wonderful sub to Foos.

Ah damn. Fair enough; didn't realise. Good that I didn't get too hyped for them!

[Mezhyp1]

Royal Blood are in some company there, not as big as they'll be when they sub the pyramid though 

[mynameismatt]

Perfume Genius has announced a European tour for June, but would have thought if he was at glastonbury he'd hold off a couple of days... I'm less hopeful now

The Flaming Lips are playing Brighton Dome on 27th of June
