Self Confirmed 2017

[pastorofmuppets]

Guessing she'll be Park headliner, although an early Pyramid slot wouldn't be out of the question. Don't see her on Other or JP.

agreed think park would be best but her agent could get her on a bigger stage

Very happy with the Laura Marling news!

[TheRedSeat]

That's top news on Laura Marling. 

[the wonderwhy]

Didn't she play Pyramid last time? I'd say that would rule that out. 

I'd love her to headline the Park on Sunday, though I can see her playing Other. Not much different to PJ Harvs doing it is it?

Fantastic news. I'd love to see her mid afternoon in the sunshine rather than headlining. Maybe not the Pyramid though.

Yep. I woulnd't wanna end the festival with that set. This would be much better.

 

[jyoung]

Did she confirm a date? I would definitely see her over the Foos on Saturday night but I would rather end the festival Sunday night with a dance!

She didn't go down too well on pyramid last time but there were loads of talkers around. She was very good supporting Neil Young last year. Wonder if she'll be solo or with band? Band could work better early pyramid, perhaps?

My thoughts exactly. The new stuff has a really interesting sound and I'd love to hear how it translates live with a full band behind her! If the choice were mine though, I'd have her on a smaller stage where there were less casuals around.

She said Sunday so if she headlined Park chances are you'd get to see something else too. 

I think she'll be with the band given she's just about to do a full band tour

Ah okay, nice one. Have to wait and see what the full line up has to offer for Sunday night. Can hopefully squeeze it in. Cheers for the info!

See, I quite like her on record, but just couldn't get into her slot supporting NY at Leeds. NY had a superb night and I'd really wanted to enjoy Miss Marling - but it just underwhelmed me, unfortunately

Also fell flat in Glasgow.

I was at Leeds and really enjoyed her. Much more than I did at Glastonbury

Maybe I was just having an off night then?

Well, if she ends up mid-afternoon, she'll be a good one to see - but my headliners look pretty much nailed on now tbh.

Didn't work for me as a headline slot at Green Man either.

Not just me then. Bit of a shame really.

Perfect news. LM was number one on my wishlist this year. Not seen her since 2011 I think, depending on when her cathedral tour was.

I would love a Sunday night Park headline slot but I have a bad feeling she'll be on one of the bigger stages during the day again. Her Saturday night sunset slot on the Park in 2010 is still one of my favourite G sets.

Sounds like I'm in the minority defending the Marlster then.

According to a random on Twitter, Slaves. Makes sense. Added to the playlist.

Similarly someone commented on clashfinder saying Pond's guitarist confirmed to them that they were playing. Also makes sense with the tour dates so I'll believe it.

Reading rock quartet The Amazons say they're releasing their album in a month beginning with J, and that there's also a "really famous festival in that month", but they're "so not allowed to tell anyone" (about 1.30 through this video).

John Peel, I'd have thought.

Added to the Glastonbury 2017 playlist.

Also "Jungletek and Raggatek" DJ Mandi Dextrous.

That seems likely. They were one of the acts announced for Great Escape yesterday, who share a booker with the JP stage.
