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

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

They said the genuinelly didn't know what stage they were playing, Jo W suggested other stage which they replied John Peel, they loved it in there the last time and the sound is amazing

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

Nothing high than JP headliner/Other 3rd

Great news. Suited to a mellow out post drug binge Sunday to wrap up the festival like a lullaby.

London Grammar...

Pleased with London Grammar. I didn't really know of them when last they played but enjoy their music.

Did that last time didn't they? 3rd on Other seems fair.

Great news

Blimey, another one (added to the playlist). I don't remember us getting so many self-confirmations/strong rumours this early in the year before. Perhaps Glasto are a bit more relaxed about acts spilling the beans this year.

It does seem like we're getting spoiled a bit earlier than we usually do

London Grammar first album is ace, not really feeling their new material at all and the lyrics are a bit meh

the (bootleg) beatles and an orchestra

defo won't be at Glasto

The bootlegs might be on their own, but not with the orchestra doing Sgt. Peppers.

They're TBC on the acoustic so guessing you had good info for that?

I think someone msg'd them on facebook for the TBC here - it's from that that i mentioned I knew they were doing this orchestra thing, and then discussion started on whether that's what they'd be doling at Glasto.

I checked that out at the time via a particular direction and was told 'no' but it was also possible that they had to lie to me .... now I know with certainty it's not a lie.

Guessing the acoustic stage was just because they normally play there?

Presuming you know what festival they are doing the Sgt Pepper stuff at now then

Some god-awful NME interview but pretty sure a little self confirmation there at the end?

That was the worst attempt to not announce himself I've ever heard. And I've been on these forums a long, long time.

'We are all prime ministers.' What a monumental moron.

Good spot though. As good as confirmed.

BBK Other Stage headliners then?

Yeah it seems so. Obviously the initial Wiley info, plus Neil hearing something to change it to BBK and now Skepta (who was there last year anyway saying or not saying that!).

I'd take some convincing they're going to headline actually, Grime acts don't tend to play the longest sets, I could definitely see them subbing

Yeah, BBK aren't headlining the Other Stage - sorry!
