I'm hearing whispers they're probably doing big fest ... I just didn't get a whisper of which one (tho not G).

I now know which fest this is - tho not Glasto.

Not at all at Glasto or just not doing the full Sarge effort?

Did somebody not confirm or at least hint that they were gonna be there? Be a shame if they're not doing the Sgt Peppers thing but I'd love to see them early doors on a main stage anyway

yeah, there was a suggestion via someone's facebook contact that they're playing, which wouldn't be a surprise cos they're regulars.

And ignore my msg above, it looks like I was talking tosh, and I've yet to find where they're playing with the orchestra.

Just a Rumour? That's enough for a SR in my book.  Added to the end of the Glastonbury 2017 playlist (they're a Dutch drum'n'bass 'supergroup', apparently).

TheThingy's Dutch correspondent is going SR

Not quite a self-confirm, tho from a tweet there's reason to think there might be something to it.

You'll need a babel fish.

If that's Noisia self-confirming that's very exciting for DnB fans. Hopefully it's the full live show, which is meant to be pretty good.

When is it the food vendors find out their spots? I'd quite like to see some self confirmations soon!

A 'special thing on the Thursday night at Glastonbury'.

YES!

I've been given a whole stage to curate while people are camping up, so I'm going to be doing a semi-ambient evening – and I've got Steve and Miquette promising me they're going to do the whole of Rainbow Dome Music (Hillage's seminal 1979 ambient solo album) to start the whole thing off, which will be pretty damn fantastic.

Would be perfect wouldn't it? I'm so happy it's on Thursday too. The atmosphere will be brilliant

Very nice. Added to the (Spotify) playlist. That Steve Hillage album is seriously trippy (in a nice, relaxing way).

[Gnomicide]

Maybe it'll be Avalon Cafe instead of the usual Michael Eavis with the Vodka Jellies.

[The Nal]

Superb. Same slot A Guy Called Gerald did in the Glade last year maybe? 

[dentalplan]

Did Charlotte Church confirm that her pop dungeon would return next festival (this year)? I seem to remember that from just after last year but can't find it now.

Aw man, that's just for me that is, just for me. Hillage man! OK the rest of you can come too.

From what I remember, I think someone posted that she'd said "she you next year" or words to that effect.

But given that she's at the Festival every year in one form or another, I wouldn't read anything specific into it.

Yeah fair enough. Hopeful though.

Watching a few bands in Swansea tonight. The Hangmen have said twice now that they're playing Glastonbury.

Odds of him dropping out again?

He was absolutely awful unfortunately. I seen Gerald twice at the Glade last year and was really disappointed on both occasions. Who ever was on before him on the Thursday was ace, then Gerald killed it.

I don't think dj'ing his is best suit really.

Get in, hopefully he's doesn't pull out again. I would imagine he's got quite a decent slot to be coming back. As long as it's not sonic I'm happy 

[FloorFiller]

If they're still up for heavily promoting grime like last year then I wonder if he could even take the Friday Pyramid slot (although still hoping for The Roots to take that myself).
