Yeah pretty much what Nal said, provided you're not going in expecting RATM I think it would be pretty excellent. 

Saw Public Enemy support Prodigy in Manchester not long ago and Chuck D nailed it. 

Well he performs for Public Enemy, he should nail it for his own band.

Grandaddy back with a new album, first one in 10years and a small tour in March next year. Back for festivals in the summer? I for one would love it. saw them few years ago in Manchester and was great

I see Golden Rules are now down as TBC.  Happy with that!

Saw that show in Newcastle, got to be one of the best packages I've ever seen.

Only perfect main-support pairing I can think of better right now  was Depeche Mode and Jezabels.

Metronomy have just announced a few dates at the end of May on their Facebook page. Would love for them to play Glastonbury. A festival highlight for me was seeing them in some random tent at Bestival in 2011. Although I've got a funny feeling they'll clash with Radiohead on West Holts on Friday Night night if they do play. Hope I'm wrong.

YES, get them to the farm! Wasn't sure if they'd be touring the latest album so this is good news

Anastacia's UK tour finishes on June 11. She might hang around for another couple of weeks.

Considering last time they played, their Park headine set clashed with Arcade Fire, i'm definitely agreeable with this.

Yeah that was annoying. Did you manage to get to the Williams Green set?

[Spindles]

Nice to see RTJ doing European festivals next summer, fingers crossed for a return in 2017 with the RTJ3 material.

Their Queen's Head (remember that?) set is one of my fondest festival memories. Learnt about Jacko's death a few minutes before they came on stage, and when we left the tent the world was a very different place. Unforgettable.

I was stuck outside the tent unfortunately so the sound was very muddy. It's a shame that the WG tent isn't a little bit larger, it's not the first time I've had troubles over that part of the farm.

Ah I see. Well I had to endure some of The 1975 to make sure I was in for Metronomy... that was unfortunate too.

Yes, it's always soo rammed there. I didn't even bother this year (except for listening to The Smyths from wayy outside the tent).

Banker? World tour ends 9th June.

I love Metronomy, seen them in Manchester every tour (bar one when I was in NY) since 2009 totally stalked these dudes!! Have had chats with them, photos and signed stuff as they are the most down to earth people ever!!

Watch their WG set and The Park set last time they were at Glastonbury, they were fantastic

Yeah, brought myself to watch their set on the iPlayer on the Saturday when I was supposed to be at Glastonbury 2014 after many joints and beers of regret. It looked fantastic. That would have been the first Park Stage headliner that I would've watched if I went.

@marcoolio pointed out that I put this in the wrong thread:

Swans back in the UK late May. I've just got tickets for their Manchester show with The Fall for £20! Bargain.

Makes it perhaps a wee bit more likely for the Park headliner dream to come alive.

Hmm I posted it earlier in this thread but be wary. The John Carpenter show that Victoria Warehouse took on from ATP was horrendously oversold and people had to 'watch' from two rooms over. Now with such an ATP slant on the line up its got that air. That said I'm probably gonna pick tickets up for it at that price.

American Football are playing Maifeld Derby in Germany the weekend before Glasto. Could certainly see them playing - perfect for a Park slot.

2014 was actually my favourite year

Yeah, looks like I missed out on a corker. The thunderstorm looked epic! I want another storm next year. similar to the one that happened in 2009 on Thursday evening.

If metronomy played where do you think they'd be? They played Alexandra palace which was ace and now playing brixton which is smaller so would they drop down at Glastonbury too

I reckon third down Other or something.

Agreed.

And I don't think we can read too much into the fact they're playing Brixton now and Ally Pally on the last tour.

This'd be great too. Preferably Saturday as I'll be down and out by Sunday eve and Radiohead will probably have a decent sub.
