If the Manics are playing, and were left off the poster, it feels a bit Other-Openery 

I agree, but their big show in Bristol went on sale on Friday so would be another reason for them to be left off.

Yeah, I'm not convinced it isn't an error.

I don't think opening the Other on the Friday should be considered dropping down though - it's not like you are first on by your standing, it's now always a bigger band than the slot will demand on a Saturday or Sunday.

But we haven't had many suggestions as the Friday opener.

I think it is a bit, I couldn't see James, Kaiser Chiefs at all at that time or Beady Eye headlining Victorious for example, I know Noel did but his day showed throughout why that was too high a booking and the fact he played a smaller set too.

I think there is a difference between playing 3rd down Other/JP headliner if you like and opening up. Manics at 3rd down that year was also a very strong year for the fest as well.

Banco de Gaia confirmed on his facebook.

"I can finally confirm that I will be appearing at Glastonbury this year. I'll be playing at least once, it will be solo or DJ, not with the band this time. More details once they are finalised. Phew, I was worried I wouldn't get to see Barry Gibb! "

Not quite a self confirm, but Louis Berry liked my tweet asking about Glastonbury. Hopefully it's a good shout for him being there this year.

Was in response to his saying his tour had ended but would be on festival circuit

I hope so. I was looking at his tour dates just the other day hoping for signs of a Glasto appearance.

Went to see Dutch psychedelic voodoo blues outfit 'My Baby' in Newcastle last night. 

They played several sets around the place in the 2015 festival. Chatting with the band post gig I asked if they were likely to returning to the farm this year, they are promoting a new album. 

Their answer was 'probably', as I left they said 'maybe see you at Glastonbury'. 

Hope they appear up on the final line up somewhere, great band and nice bunch of people.

    • A question has crossed my (questionable) mind;   Has the size of the Green Fields remained the same as other areas have expanded / been added on to, since say, 2014 (the last time that I attended)? Are they 'lost' within, or well attended?    That's actually two questions. The second one just slipped in at the end by taking advantage of my lack of means to stop it.    
    • I'd say the same about Kylie.    Annie would be awesome, Duran not so much, and on the issue of them wanting a beanie slot, that probably rules out a fair few others who I think would fit the bill very well... and are legitimately more entitled to a headline, and/or too expensive.   Was just about to suggest Chaka Khan, but see @Gnomicide has beat me to it!    What about someone like Bryan Ferry?
    • It's certainly gone more that way, but then they went completely in the opposite direction and had Cat Stevens.
