Howard Jones on tour at the end of May. Might make an appearance somewhere.

Only if that bloke who dances behind him in chains is available to join in.

Playing all his old stuff or has he got a new song?

Ariana Grande is touring next year and her American tour ends two weeks before Glastonbury. Outside chance at a headline slot? Plenty of bangers and young and relevant unlike the rest of the old codgers allegedly headlining.

Ian Brown?

Didn't think he was great at Reading 2010, but love the Roses, the new tune is a little sketchy as well.

Don't See her being the top headline act but at least a high pyramid act. Probably the katy perry slot from last year.

 

She is still yet to release UK/Europe date so if she does and there is a slot open. Could see her doing a set

Manic Street Preachers touring to end of May

[TunaBaby]

Tweeted Glasto regular and Dub Pistols front man Barry Ashworth to see if he would be attending in any capacity next year. They have tour dates in May and July but he said he/they aren’t booked as yet. I’m not sure as to the booking schedules of the smaller stages maybe @eFestivals could shed some light on this?

They were mental chains. He’s thrown them off now, probably.

I know they can still be booking in April / May, but I've not much idea when it starts or where in the process for any stage an act such as Dub Pistols might be contacted.

As there some acts that play more than one stage, it might be the case that a stage or two might have them in mind to book, but is hoping another of the stages books them first - as that would perhaps save that second booking money &/or tickets they have to supply to bands.

Barry was tweeting a while back about getting back on the Glade. I know @deebeedoobee and myself were both supportive of his plans!

I would imagine the Glade would book the band as a whole first, then the Engine Room for example would come in and book a DJ set. It makes sense that the smaller stages would book up until April/May, but at what point they would contact a band who has regularly played that stage in the past is anyone’s guess I suppose. Either way I hope they make it back after taking 2017 off, always put on a great show and Bazza is a top bloke!

Tweeted Tom Grennan about playing and both he and his Drummer liked my tweet.  Tbf it means nothing but I do fully expect him to play.

Fully back this. Seen them a few times at Boomtown over the last few years and always play a good set (live or DJ)

Depressingly they probably are.

If they're filling Finsbury Park they're probably bigger.

It's my 15/16 year old daughter first festival so I'd like the kooks playing for her and her besty's benefit I guess. 

The more stuff I won't be tempted by the better as well!

The 'if' is doing a lot of work in that sentence.

You can have the Kooks on the condition that you also commit to taking them both to see something wilfully obscure

Oh of course. They are at 'that difficult age' though and are insistent that they'll be doing their own think for 6 days but my wife wants us (me) to keep an eye on them. It's about striking the right balance I'm sure they'll both have a life changing week

True. But the fact they're being booked to headline - above Blossoms who have their own stadium gig next summer - means someone thinks they're bigger than JP level.

Although maybe they realise that merely having Gerry Cinnamon on the bill means they'll all be snapped up in a flash - Billy, Billy, Billy fucking Joel!
