Personally, I'd love the Welsh Elvis to come back to Glastonbury for a set on Avalon.

Careful now Keithy, you know what happens to @stuartbert two hats when you start mentioning Shakey...

I love that this week's litmus test for headline eligibility is whether our mums have heard of them. 

Why would anybody ask their mum about contemporary music?

I'm an efestivals poster's mum, and I'm hear to say that the only reason I've heard of this "Stormsby" character is because of this Donald Trump sex tape thing. Any road, I've no idea why my own ignorance of popular culture really matters at all, when I'm hardly going to be going to a music festival with no interest in music am I? Also I'm one isolated case of a person, not a fucking survey results of all mams.

Also I'm ashamed of my efestivals-posting child, I tell all my friends that they died, it's just easier to explain...

I reached peak dumb mum last night. My mum is convinced, absolutely convinced, that Bon Jovi are coming to Torquay to play our 1,500 seater theatre. She saw 'him' on Good Morning Britain advertising 'his' new tour, The Bon Jovi Experience and that 'he' is playing dates all over the UK.

I've tried to let her down gently that it's a tribute act but she's having none of it. Has purchased tickets already.... It's not sold out instantly which I've hinted might be odd for a global rock band playing Torquay...

That's something I never thought about. If I have a kid who posts on eFests they're getting kicked out the house.

I proposed the "Office Test" recently as a gauge of mainstream popularity.

My Mum does not know who Stormzy is.

I showed a few threads to my 9 month old daughter. She thought they were a bit over the top.

If my kid found my post history they'd probably kick me out the house.

my kid won't post on efests. He probably also hates that his dad texts him efests rumours to impress his mates with.

My mum has heard of Stormzy. Pretty sure she’s heard of eFestivals too which is more worrying.

Are you saying my mother wishes I was dead because she's embarrassed of me? 

And the for the final time, my initial comment was that Stormzy isn't the same class of mainstream act that the festival has booked in recent years (e.g. Coldplay, Adele, Ed) and I'm personally glad they're moving away from that this year. My mother doesn't go to festivals any more, no, but she was being used as my barometer for popularity along the lines of the acts just mentioned. It wasn't "well my mother doesn't know him so he's not big enough to play" or any of that nonsense.

The top of Scafell Pike: the ultimate naughty step.  Now sit there and think about what you've done.

On  amore general note, it just feels too early to have all three headliners pinned down. Sure @eFestivalshas good reason to believe his sources and all the rest, but something just doesn't sit right with me. Dunno.

Makes me feel sad for poor Mrs Keithy. Can we have a whip round to get her tickets to an actual Jovi gig?

I'm not thinking it's too early to have them in place, with a year off they've had a longer run-up at sorting them.

Plus, if those three are right it's fairly easy to see that they'd be easier than some others to get sorted.

I can't guarantee they're right and I'm lacking some extra corrorberation at the mo, but I'm very comfortable with the sources for all of them, and if those sources have got it wrong that'll be quite embarrassing for each of them. They really should know for sure if they're saying they know for sure.
