Really hope RTJ are Sun subs for Jamiroquai. ATCQ are much bigger than RTJ so should be the Fri hip hop slot on the Pyramid, or for me at least that fits better. That's at least Friday afternoon and Sun night sorted for me, just got to sort everything inbetween now

Think RTJ will be bumped up by more than just the 1 slot from 2015. JP headliner I reckon. 

Agree ATCQ would suit the Friday hip hop slot, potentially a great run of acts Friday on The Pyramid.

Pretty much every TBC we've had so far has been right up my street. Tis gonna be another great year!

I'm banking on a few of the (R)'s, I wonder how many of them usually convert to confirmed?  From previous years it's pretty low I think - even still, with what I have so far it's looking great!

Yeah that's what I'm fearing actually because right now there's a lot of potential headliners across the fest I'd love to see. Like someone else said, this year is looking *touch wood* like a fucking awesome year for me personally. Hoping for some more self confirms from the R and SR list

Yeah there's already plenty from the C and TBC list to keep me happy, crazy thinking that probably represents 10% of the total line up! Gonna be a good one!

I've already got five must-sees in Radiohead, Mark Lanegan, The Cinematic Orchestra, Avalanches & Badbadnotgood. Warpaint & Laura Marling would be very high up on the to do list as well. So yeah, looking good.

Hard to quantify a rough success rate tbh but from the current (R)'s, I wouldn't be surprised to see Pond, Jamiroquai, Flaming Lips, HAIM, Slaves and Richard Ashcroft confirmed.

Overall it's low as you always get some big-name Rs in summer/autumn after the festival that turn out to be pie in the sky, but by this stage pretty reasonable, maybe as high as 1/2?

So many self confirms dropping.....way more than usual! Surely a poster is imminent or there'll be nothing left to announce! 

Every time someone says this, the announcement gets pushed back one day.

Clean cut kid just been asked if they were playing on a live at Leeds Twitter question session, answered they hope so. I can't seem to get a link up to work

[craigyb31]

Hope that works, probably not a band for people on here

Stand down! Not a fact! Just a guess!

Dave knows, knows he shouldn't have said he knew, denies he knows. But we know.

They liked TheThingy's retweet of your tweet. Probably doesn't make it any more certain but sounds promising.

Has to go up as at least a rumour surely, it's a standard answer isn't it

[dentalplan]

I dunno if I'd be convinced by someone only hoping they're playing, now we're in March.

I'd imagine they know if they are playing or not.

They're a new band answering questions for another festival's promo. They may well be trying not to step on any toes and giving a politician's answer either way

I am hoping to play Glasto this year but have never been an R or SR let alone a TBC. I also have no discernible talent whatsoever in music, only beer drinking and farting

Hmm, not a must see but I'll probably be there if nothing else is on.

I am hoping to clash with Ed Sheeran, so to speak

Has anybody mentioned that Run the Jewels have self confirmed? Apologies if I'm late to the party just found out myself

Yeah it's a couple of pages back. Think there's a bit of discussion on the RTJ thread about where they might be placed. Good news though!

[the wonderwhy]

Dunno how people feel about band member activities on twitter, but Loz from Ride favourited my tweet about them playing
