 I thought they were really poor in the JP in 2016. Massively going through the motions, no energy at all. I don't think I was alone in thinking this either. Was disappointed because I got really into them leading up to the festival.

I'd completely forgotten they were on the farm in 2016 until I read this comment, despite going to JP to watch them. Totally underwhelming.

I see Sports Team have been added to the line up page as a strong rumour and thats brightened up my Thursday!! Really great live band and very nice guys as well, their little jolly down to Margate last August has extremely hot but a great laugh

Quincy Jones with an orchestra performing Off the wall, Bad and Thriller at the O2 on June 23rd, although it does say in the blurb that it is a one off

That’ll be three hours plus, they’d have to condense it down to just an hour of the hits.

Plus there’s nowhere for it to go. I doubt Quince fancies opening the Pyramid one day.

Plus I can’t imagine Quincey comes cheap these days.

Interesting...Quincy's son in law is Ezra from Vampire Weekend...

[deadpheasant]

London based funk/brass band Dat Brass will be playing Glastonbury. Date & Stage TBC. Definitely one to look out for, especially if it's on the Thursday.

I imagine its very unlikely for the reasons Hugh has given, but you never know.

I didnt know that about Ezra

I am so clueless as to how big they are here tbh. Would they be like John Peel headline level?

[Ayrshire Chris]

Hawkwind have announced a 50th anniversary tour this year ! Time to ride the silver machine

No idea, they played bierkeller in Bristol for 13 quid when I was in college like three years ago but I’ve seen them at tramshed in Cardiff and o2 Brixton for more, and they were third down on second biggest stage at reading on last album tour so we’ll have to see, personally love them so I’m hoping for a decently jp slot

In the Twitter announcement of the September tour they say they'll be in Belgium on the 23rd June so I'd say they're nailed on for Glastonbury.

Pyramid Rock Slot?

 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

I've managed to miss Kurupt FM when they've played before, they're in Devon the weekend before G. "The rest are irrelevant"*

 

 

 

 

* Apart from Shy FX, Gentleman's Dub Club and the Cuban Brothers. I'd like them too.

Not big enough for the rock slot. Wouldn't write them off playing though.

Reckon Tom Odell is pretty likely now though after saving the Glastonbury Abbey show

I know they're currently small enough to play in loads of places. Nik Turner always seems to be around The Glade, but given they are former headliners they might be given a more prominent slot.

They deserve a special slot, having played the festival in 1971. 

Looking at the old line ups, they’re just about the longest surviving band who have played, but I hope they would also invite Al Stewart for 2020 as he was there in 1970 and still going strong...

I was about to be annoyed but then realised this is in Liverpool anyway! Wonder if they'll add more (before Glastonbury please).

Seems like the last date is Brighton on the Friday. I can’t see a Glastonbury appearance happening, they may as well save him for when they headline the Pyramid in 2021.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Oh shit yeah there are more dates! London on the 19th

[jyoung]

Could probably make the Manchester date the week before. Will depend on prices. Those lucky folk in Brighton getting it at the Dome!

[Hugh Jass]

£75-95 for the Barbican, plus fees.

Out.
