the wonderwhy Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Last year someone (pretty sure @kingcrawler) had a thread keeping track of which days bands were ruled out for or had confirmed etc. which was pretty helpful until we got the running order/stage times confirmed. Anyway thought I'd get the ball rolling, but as we can't edit the OP anymore I created a google docs over here which anyone can edit, making it even more fun for us all!

It was indeed me, was going to do it today but I thought that's what FloorFiller's thread would become. Good idea with the google docs though.

Odessa Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I think there's been a few that we've learned the dates of before today, but I can only remember Mark Lanegan so I just put him in for the Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Awesome. Here's a few I can recall: Halsey Friday (Hu/So Sat/Sun), First Aid Kit Fri/Sun (Piknik i Parken), Angel Olsen Fri/Sat (the wording on their self confirmation said she was were heading to Halfway Festival after Glastonbury). Also I think the Can thing has to be Sat/Sun if Thurston is playing - or sure if his inclusion is definite though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the wonderwhy Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) On Hurricane/Southside, I'm only gonna add acts that have actually confirmed on their website which days they're doing over there (like Halsey) as the festival themselves don't appear to have any info on that yet. I've added most of what's been posted so far. Can anyone remember why Alt-j are Saturday? Edited March 30, 2017 by MattDavies__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odessa Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Thanks to whoever noticed that Metronomy are headlining the JP on the Sunday. Really really happy with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Other Stage connection is from Amy Lawn. edit: technically I think Angel Olsen can still be Saturday if she plays Sunday at Halfway. Unless I've missed something confirming her for Saturday on the site, which is possible. Edited March 30, 2017 by dentalplan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised festivals are legally allowed to claim exclusivity when it's not true. It's straight up false advertising in my eyes. I know we all know to take the claims with a pinch of salt, but I don't think we should have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Biffy was the biggest shock and Katy, I expected the Scottish fest was Biffy's other date but there was always something about how Simon Neil said they weren't headlining Glasto but never ruled it out. Two fingers right up at Download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two fingers right up at Download. Serves Download right for booking a headliner who are on their second consecutive summer of playing festivals, after they didn't even headline R&L where they're a more suitable band. Awful booking from them and I have no sympathy. Katy Perry instead of Gaga is pretty disappointing, would be fun but I genuinely enjoyed Lady Gaga's big hits, Katy Perry would just be a laugh if there's nothing else on as I don't particularly like her songs.
