Can’t say there’s much for me there but glad to see such a strong reception from others. Really do need to spend some more time in this area so will attempt to make an effort this year in my rare bit of down time.

Previous years I've only really gone down there for the pub (my favourite on site); this year is the first I've been completely enthralled by the lineup.

This also coincides with getting older!

I love the Avalon stage, Elephant Sessions are great, Hobo Jones, but my personal hi light will be The Blue Aeroplanes!!!!

I will see you down the front for that then!

What's your bag FF?  You're normally quite dancey right?

Might be able to recommend a few to catch and break your Avalon duck!

Morcheeba! Bananarama! Frank Turner! Beans On Toast! Cat Empire! And others! I'll definitely be spending a fair bit of time at the Avalon this year

I am so bloody excited right now!

To be fair there’s an awful lot on there I haven’t heard so maybe I should it all a listen before I totally write it off - just nothing that screams ‘must see’ at me.

Good to see the odd murmur of no Avalon Inn had no truth. And Michael to kick things off in the Avalon Cafe.

They've confirmed too that this poster is just the main stage lineup (if any confirmation were needed)

When are Bananarama playing??

[Fearless_Fish]

There's no lineup for the Cafe, and they don't mention it in the blurb either (whereas they mentioned the Inn and the helter skelter). It had better be there!

It'll be their alternative legend/novelty slot I imagine. I think that's usually Saturday Afternoon?

"Michael (Eavis) will set the ball rocking and rolling in our wonderful Avalon Cafe stage."

 

I'd say you're golden

We don't know yet - it looks from their twitter like even they don't know! But it's not Friday headline (that's Frank Turner), so probably headline or sub-headline on Saturday or Sunday at a guess

... or what Gnomey said (sorry, slow reply)

Cat Empire being announced only to be added to the Saturday headliner clash nightmare is heartbreaking. Frank Turner is a great option for Friday night though!

I am so happy with this, I expect thearea to be rammed for quite a few acts.

Good grief. I read it twice before posting.

Morcheeba playing on the Friday too.

This is what makes glastonbury the finest frigin festival in the world, an incredible mix of styles to suite everyone from strummerville across the site to hitchin hill. I bloody love it .
