The Bloody Beetroots have just announced a live date in London for June 23rd.

Seems a bit of a coincidence.

Would def be up for a bit of that!

2/3 of last years subs were acts that were expected play third down until we got the times tbf. And let's not forget that the year before they booked Paul fucking Weller to sub. Basically, that slot is weird.

i think the Who years are weird in that spot as they've requested those acts. Weller and the Kaiser Chiefs in '05. I was surprised the Manics were below the Kaisers in '05 and since the Kaisers had supported a few Who gigs around that time it probably was a request on their end.

Must be nailed on with these dates

To boot, they're not advertised as an exclusive at the only uk fest announced so far (R/L)

French and Saunders just announced as doing a one off in Bristol on the 22nd June... Comedy tent?

They would have to just call it the tent if they play

I said that about Beck last year

Well Beck isn't going to headline the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2017, so congrats on the clairvoyance

Rhye is playing at an iceland festival the week before and nothing for the rest of June

 

fingers crossed

EE will definitely be there then. Excellent. Their set in Williams Green in 2015 was a highlight. Hopefully they are high up in JPT, will be a much better atmosphere for them.

Subbed John Peel in 2013, so anything less than that would be harsh, although they haven't got much bigger since that. Would suggest they'd swap to the Other Stage instead, but then their 'main' set in 2015 was on there. Tbh it's about time they got a break so if it was up to me I'd stick them early-ish on the Pyramid. Dunno.

Ooh I hope so - been hoping to catch them for the last few years. The Fall is one of my favourite songs of the last few years.

Van Morrison 3rd/4th down on Saturday with Lorde being the other when his Eden show? 

Given the price of his show I'd say more 3rd.

I think you've misunderstood?

Beck generally wasn't considered big enough to sub the Pyramid until the times came out last year. The Lips are about as big as Beck, so it's unlikely but not impossible.

The Lips will not be subbing The Pyramid, absolutely categorically not. The shows that they have of their own in the UK are tiny!, and although Beck isn't huge....still more relevant etc than The Lips atm mind, he had a fair bit of hype around him.

It was a joke, apparently not a good one. Don't mind me x

Looks like that Wyld Stallyns shout might come true.

[Titters]

Good to see Kirk Van Houten has got his break, 'Can I Borrow A Feeling' was a stone cold classic. 

[SwedgeAntilles]

Last name of the billing? It's dignity!

The Shitty Beatles? Are they any good?

They suck.

Marvin berry and the starlighters were brilliant at enchantment under the sea, although that guest guitarist was a bit ahead of the times

[CaledonianGonzo]

The Moe Syzslack Connection went a bit weird towards the end with all the jokes about suicide and fancying Marge.

That whole thing has always sat uneasily with me. The suggestion that a teenage white boy from Hill Valley is responsible for the success for Chuck Berry?

I'll take Citizen Dick from that Riot Fest poster... already got the Tshirt ... although I thought Mang were pretty good as support last time I saw them.  They are pretty big in Belgium.

[HoTWire]

I can't believe The Lone Rangers aren't playing Riot Fest, that is a massive oversight.
