Bought a ticket for Parquet Courts and Ultimate Painting in Brum. 

Also I really hope Slowdive are playing. Saturday park headliners would do me. 

Warpaint already confirmed themselves to be headlining the Park on the Saturday. Unfortunately what with Ride already having been announced I doubt Slowdive are gonna be added as well, which is a huge shame as their new album is incredible.

[Gnomicide]

One of my favourite artists has a UK tour starting June 29th, doubt he'll be there but would love him to appear.

Jesse Malin

[Splonk]

Herbie Hancock

The Ukrainian gig still looks a bit ominous for the Herbster.

[liamium]

seem to remember talking about the chick corea elektric band over in the WH thread ages ago and have just been reminded that they're in London the 24th. did we settle on a reason why they're unlikely to show?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Christ knows. There's a whole host of jazz / funkers in the UK around G o'clock and we may well end up with none of them as I don't think there's anything to indicate any of them are playing other than the timing.

Of course, forgot about Warpaint.

I'm still remaining hopeful.

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

Now have three shows lined up over the weekend... but two are in Paris on the Sat, before DTRH on the Sun, so still possible/likely.

they're playing cardiff and nottingham like 3 days after glasto and they've not been announced for any uk festivals so seems positive

how do you know they are playing dtrh on the sunday? there's no indication on their site or the festivals, they're playing the french fest on the saturday so hopefully its down the rabbit hole friday, french fest saturday and then glasto on the sunday followed by their two uk dates

My mistake, it is DTRH Friday: http://downtherabbithole.nl/media/files/dtrh17blokkenschema.pdf, which as you say ties in with their UK dates the following week.

So Cage The Elephant for Sunday then is it? Sunday is actually shaping up well for me for once. Them, Metronomy, King Gizzard, might even see Barry Gibb...very good start.

I was worried sunday would be lame after radiohead and the national but as you've pointed out, brilliant stuff that day, Rex Orange County has announced he's playing sunday too and Real Estate are doing a london instore monday which hopefully puts them down for Sunday too

The Roots have added a date in Belgium on 30th June...

[Perks]

Ah yes, hope Cage the Elephant are back, ace live. This pleases me.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Even if they'd booked him he wouldn't have played:

the "scheduling conflicts beyond his control" is him preferring to do USA fests rather than Euro ones.

However, I think he's only cancelled shows in August, and is still coming this side of the pond for Wireless in July - so if he'd been booked for Glasto I guess he'd still be doing it.

They're always touring around the festival and they never play. So I'm not holding out hope. One of Quest's legendary DJ slots would be amazing as well 

[Meerkat]

Sorry if this has been answered many times before, what's the overall thoughts on Richard Ashcroft playing this year? 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I don't think he's on tour this year.  Hasn't played live since forever.

[mjsell]

Who? Do you mean Eminem?

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

^ Big fan of that fella. Lose Yourself is an absolute belter.

[ghostdancer1]

Bonobo just announced for Body&Soul festival in Ireland the same weekend as Glastonbury. so that's 2 days gone as he's at Down The Rabbit Hole over the weekend too.
