Strange fruit was Bill Nighy and Jimmy Nail's band in Still Crazy. Surely not them. 

Is it even the same festival as last year?!

No. It's an april fool. 

(Which I didn't get at first as I was skim reading it - idiot).  

Haha fair play. I was like WTF is this!

I wonder if Kate Tempest will be doing Let Them Eat Chaos in full like she's been doing at her recent shows.

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?

Tbf peel back that film's good natured atmosphere and it's fairly horrifying all round. 

[Odessa 302]

Get Mouse Rat to open the other.

I'd be down for a Robin Sparkles Pyramid afternoon slot though

She'll do a bunch of slots so I would guess at least one would be that.

I have a feeling Belle & Sebastian may play. They are in London on the 15th and Barcelona on the 18th, they then go into a quite intensive tour two month tour from the 6th July. There is Glastonbury shaped hole in that itinery.

Do you think she'll do some of her 'spoken word' poetry? I like most of her stuff but prefer it without the added background beat.

Have we talked about how Mitski is touring and in Europe and has a completely wide open week between Germany the weekend before and US the week after? Could be a recoup period, but I reckon she's on The Park; this year's Car Seat Headrest.

Bit of a swift return, I'd be surprised

They played after Future Islands in 15, they are back, but I suppose they have a new album which B&S don't.

This would be amazing, Puberty 2 was one of the albums of the year. Could definitely see it happening!

Dunno, You might be better asking @Winslow Leach as I'm not so much a fan so I haven't experienced any of them but I assume it depends on the stage. Poetry & Words tent; yes, WOW; no, Rum Shack; maybe.

Yeah it's been brought up from time to time. I would be surprised if she's not there to be honest, which is pretty much why I held off on her last tour. She's doing bigger venues than CSH were doing back then so I wouldn't anticipate it'll be that early on.

She's this year's CSH in that she's the trendy new US indie rock act who isn't on the poster but gets added later, rather than the slot. I think it was a mistake to have CSH on that early and they'll probably have learned from that (unless it was a ploy to get people out of bed).

Him from Bloc Party is doing more solo stuff, could fit in many places on the line up

[Anderson19 69]

Frank Turner told me on twitter he hasn't been asked this year, shame as he's active around the time in Germany and then the Blink 182 arena tour support slots. 

It was only last year.. or maybe it was the year before he played early on the other.

Hooton Tennis Club are supporting Micheal Head in Liverpool on 10th of June, they're a small band but I'd love to see them on one of the smaller stages

Take That. Robbie Williams.
