Quite a bit on that lineup I'd like to see at Glastonbury. Has there been a lot of crossover in the past?

I would think, I know it's in Europe but VW possibly will get a sub or Other headliner.

Not really, looking at the 2017 lineup only the Foos and Alt-J were there from the top end of the lineup.

2016 doesn’t have a huge amount either.

Teenage Fanclub are playing festivals then??  Puts them in the mix hopefully.

[thewayiam]

Band Of Horses got to be likely, playing in Turnbridge Wells on the 23rd June. I'd also say RW will go for them again though. Other stage around 4th down.

The Twilight Sad are properly following Sad Bob and the Boys eh, be an absolute travesty if they haven't been booked

Huh I thought The 1975 were pushing headline slots over there too? How have they wound up on the second line when The Lumineers are second from top of the bill?

The 1975 are not very well known in North America... probably wouldn't sell out a small venue where I am (Calgary) while The Lumineers are massively popular and sell out arenas. As someone who goes to festivals in north America and glasto... the musical landscapes can sometimes be drastically different.

New era, new rules for TFC. With Gezza now an ex-Gezza they seem up for listening to more offers than in recent years.

Noel is already TBC

Although a few of us are pretty certain he’s not playing next year and is actually doing 2020.

They were fourth down the John Peel in 2016 lol why would they get fourth down Other?

[SwedgeAntilles]

Mad Cool has jumped ahead of Roskilde in my Glasto backup list based on that lineup.

If anything that JPT performance should see them relegated to the Pop Up Hotel.

Are you sure? Cos they’ve had a no. 1 album in both US and Canada, and sold out big arenas like MSG. The Lumineers can’t be that much bigger than that.

Looking it up, they played the Grey Eagle Resort & Casino in Calgary last tour. I know (from googling ‘tragically hip calgary’ ) that there’s a bigger venue there but it seems larger than a small venue.

Neither backup will be required.

Sorry if this has been mentioned but Kurt Vile, Mac Demarco, Cigarettes After Sex and Interpol all for Best Kept Secret, I know it's end of May/ start of June but I'd love all of these there except Cigarettes, especially with those allegations of groping

That new Kurt Vile album is a beauty. Mind, pretty much all his records are great

not quite true. i'm certainly not a fan but they do big arenas in the bigger cities of the US and Canada. They've sold out Madison Square Garden in past two years, booked another NY gig at 20,000 Barclays Center, and in Toronto they headline Air Canada Centre. Maybe in the interiors of the continent, it's smaller venues, but not in the bigger cities.

I wasn’t the only one then. Really enjoyed listening to them in the build-up but that performance was dreadful. Are they always that bad?

[RichardWaller]

Bit pre-emptive, but excited to see what’s coming
