Can’t see past her being on the Pyramid myself, but for lack of many other realistic possibilities maybe WH is where she’ll end up.

I know what you mean about Pyramid. For me that felt right for where she'd be.

Rosalia for Friday headline? Hard to gauge how big she is

Massive in Spain but hasn't really taken off here yet.   She hasn't really toured the UK yet so hard to gauge her popularity as you say but I don't think she'll be headlining at all.

So the Friday night headliner is still up for grabs?

My dream of Erykah Badu or Giorgio Moroder still lives.

Yes Lawn! 

I assumed Friday was Lauryn Hill? Am I way off?

She seems too big and famous for WH, common wisdom is Pyramid Friday hip hop slot, which seems apt.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Makes sense.

Im on the Moroder train too then, but.... he needs to do together in electric Dreams.

There has been a fair few disco or funk WH headliners in recent years. With grime on the pyramid and indyrock on the other you would have thought some Moroder electro-disco on WH would be a good balance?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Setlist aside, though, how good are his actual shows?

[morph100]

Is he playing? Can’t see him on poster or even rumours list?

Think he’s touring around Glastonbury so people are hoping he’ll be there.

Fatoumata Diawara for the 1pm Friday Pyramid?

I’d hope for WH, but will see her wherever. Saw her recently and she delivered a hugely energetic performance.

Moroder is playing here in May. I was initially enthused, but all the reviews of this tour seem a bit ropey. Not bought tickets yet snd can’t decide what to do. 50 notes (x2) is a lot to spunk if it’s going to be mediocre

I really like some Staple Singers songs and have somehow only just realised that Mavis Staples was in the Staple Singers... Much more excited for that now. Would've seen her in 2015 if I'd have been thinking properly! Did anyone see her then and how was it?

I did. She was fabulous. Also check out her last album If All I Was Was Black it's really fantastic. Nearly 80 but still hugely inspiring.

Thanks! I think I saw that she's playing Sunday? Guessing same time as Kylie then maybe.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Really hope not. Given she played The Park last time I dunno if it's a certainty that she'll be on WH.

That'll suit me fine. I was hoping to avoid Kylie anyway!!

I was going to ask is she definitely on WH but assumed that someone had some information. I think she could easily be on The Park, WH or even The Pyramid a lot of people may hear her name and say who but I'm sure they'd recognise her songs when they heard them. Selfishly I'm hoping for a smaller stage with a more dedicated audience. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Could easily be lunchtime on the Pyramid.

Entirely possible between her track with Arcade Fire, Hozier and a new album since her last appearance she will be better known than last time among younger people. 

[rock the clock]

Mavis was one of the best times I've had at the farm, think she'd work well on either WH or pyramid but I'm not sure it'll top the sunset slot at the park

And Gorillaz. She’s down with the kids 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Just glad she's back. Opted for Todd Terje last time and no real regrets, but won't skip her a second time.
