Then Pixies aren't playing.

Correct.

And it just so happens my pixies source has been back in touch today to say it again.

He did tell me about a BST warm up show, but he'll take my nuts if I spill it here - so don't ask!

Sorry if this is further up-thread, but New York Brass Band haven't yet properly confirmed but only because they 'haven't yet got the go ahead from the powers that be', but basically they're definitely playing pretty much everywhere, every day! http://www.newyorkbrassband.co.uk/public-gigs.html

No worries. I had a little chat with them on Facebook last week and it sounds like they're as excited as we all are!

Are you on about Glasto or Latitude? Cos the post you quoted was about Latitude.

[The Red Telephone]

No rumours about an announcement or anything tonight, so I'll just post this...The Smyths are not allowed to say if they are playing this year or not. If they are go and see them, they were fab at William's Green on the Thursday last year.

ah, apologies - I was talking Glasto with my post.

I've no idea about Latitude, other than to say if they've not got dates on that weekend then it's possible they might do it. Glasto isn't possible.

They've played a packed out William's Green every single year I've been (the last 3). Can't see why William's Green wouldn't want that to continue.

I think this a big scoop.

Do I win £5 @eFestivals?

If you went to Glasto and managed to avoid these guys throughout the entire fest I'd be very impressed. And that's no bad thing, they're one of the most entertaining acts on!

It was barely even 3 rows deep for their early morning set in 2015, and I'd definitely take that over not even being able to get near the tent like last year.

[Daisygrubber]

I was there in 2015 sitting near the back on the bar it was definitely a lot busier than 3 rows deep

I've just seen on Twitter apparently London Grammar have self confirmed. 

[Mezhyp1]

London Grammar have just self confirmed on BBC Radio 2 

[SwedgeAntilles]

Not a fan of London Grammar at all, but I can imagine they'll command a decent spot.

Superb news. Wherever they play I hope it's as the sun is setting - it'll be wonderful! 

[Krazypinkminx]

Very happy

Oh really? Maybe I just assumed it was packed cos I was in those 3 rows! Others years I *think* were packed tho.

[Gucci Piggy]

I take it London Grammar gave nothing away in terms of stage or day or anything?

I'm expecting ~3rd down on the Other.
