Pretty much a perfect headliner for them innit. Not sure if this makes Glasto more or less likely. 

Hoping more likely... they're lining a few festivals up now, don't think Bluedot are in the "festival exclusives" market? I dunno. Would love to see Kraftwerk there, tempted to pop down for the day anyway..

Yeah, it doesn't say exclusive anywhere. Would love to go to Blue Dot again, such a great little festival, but it's a long way so all or nothing for me!

On me doorstep really, not been yet, just been bad timing. Been well impressed with some of the lineups though. Think if Kraftwerk aren't at Glastonbury I'll have to make an effort to get there for a day...

It says ‘first UK festival headline slot’ with this 3D show, but then Glastonbury wouldn’t be a festival headline slot.

Definitely go if you can, it's really good ?

Eagles of Death Metal have announced 3 festival dates earlier in June. Rock am Park, Rock am Ring, and Download. Possible contender for Glastonbury?

The Manics are active next year, doing their own UK tour and then supporting Bon Jovi up until the week of Glastonbury. Could be a possibility. Maybe John Peel or Park headliner?

What a bizarre pairing...

Anyway, massively hoping for MSP for next year. Can't see them being a Park act, would be ecstatic if they were JP headliner but can't see that either. Other, or somewhere down the Pyramid list.

Tbf, the Manics always seem to be happy to play anywhere. 4 years after their G headline slot they were back subbing Moby.

i dont think glasto would get kraftwerk to be honest. Are they big enough / right for the other? Are they too big or not right for west holts?

I dont think they fit.

Plus i reckon chemical brothers are headlining the other so kraftwerk and chems might be seen as a bit electronic for the other for the same year.

Plus Kraftwerk would be very expensive, possibly beyond what G are willing / able to offer.

I like how they've put "3-D" on the poster instead of "3D". Back in the old days that's what you had to do if you wanted to send a dick pic on your 3310.

True. Works for me. My brother is losing his GF virginity next year and we both loved them growing up, will be massive for us if they're there.

Given how quickly previous Kraftwerk shows have sold out I wouldn't wait too long before jumping.

Tempted by it but not sure I can justify another weekend away so soon after Glasto.

We're doomed, aren't we?

[UEF]

Looks like Hugo and Connie need some reassurance following Stormzy... Glasto have brought out the big guns!

[Gnomicide]

Regular reminder that the Manics have supported Bon Jovi as far back as 1993.

I think we are.

In Eavis we trust and all that but if the rumour about McCartney is true and other acts seemingly unavailable or priced out we're seriously scraping the barrel. How was their 2013 headline set generally received? I was at another stage at the time but I'd be interested to hear some objective views. My personal ambivalence to the band aside, Mumford & Sons would be the worst booking for some time. Let's hope common sense prevails...

[Hawros]

They're in Belgium on the Saturday (Werchter), after playing these at the start of the month. They're active, but can't see any danger of it happening.

Mrs Jass enjoyed it. I thought it was dogshit.

They don't seem to get the best press these days, and even I'm baffled by how quickly they've abandoned the new album to promote the 20th anniversary of TIMTTMY, but....

They were bang on form at Beautiful Days. I'd happily go watch them again if they appear, but where they'd pop up is a question.

I reckon they'd be too big for JP, but then I could have said that about Suede.  Other opener seems viable; got enough back catalogue for the nostalgia aspect, but still releasing new material. Quite similar to James 2016 in that respect. I'd like 'em higher just because they'd put me in a great mood for a big night to follow, but Other headliner just doesn't seem right.

If Macca is out of the frame then it's Mumfords or Arctics all day long.

Could we be saved with Mumfords doing Latitude or IOW instead? I'm not up to speed with their rumours.

finding it harder each day to think that it is. There doesn't seem to be anyone else who's saying similar.
