I think DiRo will be 4th down and Gibb probably 6th..

For context, Barry Gibb is a way bigger artist than any of the acts who've subbed in recent years.

Can't deny it although I'd never predict him to be a sub.

I’m repeating myself from elsewhere, but I believe that the bookings should mandate the running order and not vice versa.  Just because they’ve recently had folk like Tame Impala and Beck subbing doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t tweak the formula when they land a big fish like Baz.

Too logical. Kaiser Chiefs sub.

While that's a justifiable statement in most respects, the real question is where do they fit best.

Nah. I'll go for the easy example. In 2014, Dolly Parton was a way bigger artist than at least 2 of the headliners and arguably all 3, but she absolutely should not have headlined. The best fit for her was playing on a sunny sunday afternoon, and it worked a treat.

Working on the assumption here that it's Diana Ross doing Sunday Teatime / Legend and not Baz.

If The First Lady of Motown isn't on the bill then, yes, that's the obvious slot for B-Gizzle.

Break out Dusty Bin...

On Foo Fighters website you are presented with an option to check in. You're then presented with a boardong card for Obelix Airlines. Obelix/Pyramid picture included. The date is 21st Feb so.... announcement on Tuesday? 

To get any further though you need to enter details AND a unique code, no idea how to get a code.

I'm confused where 21st June is mentioned?

Is anyone here signed up too FF mailing list? Maybe that's where the code is?

Their website is a departure board with all the festival slots so far listed and one 'pending'. 

Gotta be Glasto?

I signed up to Foo Fighters mailing list many, many years ago. Checked there and haven't had an email from them since their last EP was released. So can rule anything out from there unless I've randomly been removed.

Trying to crack the code!!!!!! The first letters are GL, last is Y, so trying to see if the rest is just random?

I'm wondering if everyone who bought Glastonbury tickets will get sent an email with a code at 6pm on 21st Feb, and we can then "check in" to see the announcement?

Let's hope not. I'm too busy receiving spam.

Saying "visit foofighters.com and enter this code to find out the next act to be announced for Glastonbury Festival 2017"?

Was about to say it was a good shout by Jo Balls but lmao this is true. Thinking maybe Foos mailing list peeps will get an email with the code or something.

No, I'm guessing it will come from the website "obeliskairlines.com" and will look like a flight check in of some sort. If you type the obelisk airlines website address on that boarding pass above, it links back to FF website.

I see. I didn't realise they'd reg'd the website but it'd still be kinda futile as soon as you hit the link and it's the Foo Fighters webpage.  

I looked up Obelisk Airlines to see the hype and they've got a Tweeter account set up for it with a picture of a Pan-Am stewardess so 2+2=US tour.
