I'm going to Bearded Theory so will probably watch them there.

I watched Jimmy Goodwin at the Park when his set got curtailed in the big thunderstorm and they closed all the stages.

And me, I was gutted it got cut short, but at least he'd played Oh Whiskey by that point! Biblical storm wasn't it.

It's hard to imagine that the year Doves re-form, they won't be at Glastonbury! i'm so hoping they get added at the next announcement.

This is fucking shit news! :-(

I think they’re recording a new album so maybe more likely to come back in 2020 touring that.

I have a real fear they're not gonna be on the line up.

Awh man there goes my There Goes The Fear joke.

[Garrett_Salas]

Jeez. As if we get Snow Patrol instead of Doves ?

[Badlands]

That's a bummer mind. There's a dearth of guitar bands that I'm into on the lineup so was looking for them to prop up the Park or JP on the Friday.

Watched a few recordings from last night and there's a couple where Jimi's voice seemed a little weak. Be good to hear if anyone that was there in person last night or at the RAH tonight can confirm/deny.

She won't have been disappointed....they were absolutely on it.  Smashed through a classic set list and clearly overwhelmed by the crowd reception.  Great gig ?

I hope she had a cheque book in her handbag

[Stokesy10]

Absolutely fuckin gutted. 

I'm telling myself that the first poster is the final poster, as I cannot see one act added to it which will blow me away. I've got plenty I want to see already, but shit me, I'd convinced myself Doves would be there.

[brendan84]

Saw them last night.   

Class

Shame they wontons there this yr

[Yorkshire Chomper]

Awww damn shame they won’t be there this summer.  Was at RAH Last night.  Was very close to the front.  Great gig.  

[Hugh Jass]

Very disappointing. Thought they would be a shoo in considering they’re playing everywhere else.

Didn’t worry about trying to get RAH tickets because I was certain they’d be there.

Not too late to sign them up I reckon, especially as Emily was there ast night. Unless they don't want to play this year? I wonder if they were waiting to see how the gigs went down first before committing to the big G? I am clinging on to that hope anyway

Highly unlikely they wouldn't be booked already for the higher slot they'd command. 

Shame, but at least they are at Tramlines. 

[Swieve]

Secret set?

[dingbat2]

Would love a secret  set, as long as I get to know about it first!. An Elbow type Friday night slot at the Park would go down a treat. As would Other stage opener. As would a Libertines Pyramid type secret set. I don't care, they just have to be there. Or a killers Sunday afternoon JP type set

[Chef]

Glad I picked up Somerset House tickets, I wouldn't have bothered because I thought they were nailed on for the farm but as they were only £30 thought why not. 

[gigpusher]

Maybe they are the Other Stage opener and they are trying to keep it secret??

Was it? Where? I thought they were a certainty.

[Pinhead]

Going to RAH tomorrow for Levs and Dreadzone...

Ah, nuts. They were awesome on Friday (and what a venue). 

The Park owes Jimi half a set anyway after 2014?

Thanks. Shame. I’m going to Glasgow anyway (and don’t have a Glastonbury ticket) but seems a big miss. Though also promising they’re talking about still being a thing in 2020.

I find it really odd that Glastonbury seem to have not booked these and Groove Armada. Both perfect for the farm, and seemingly both would have liked to play.
