All these TBA's are rightly fucking up my planning tbh.

This is a really bizarre take. What metrics are you going off of to create this weird scenario where Wolf Alice are still touring to big crowds in ten years and 1975 are DJ'ing? I like Wolf Alice but to try and make out that their music is "worth more" than The 1975 and that it will stand the test of time is mental. It's highly unlikely that any current bands music will still be spoken about in decades to come like The Beatles, Stones, Floyd, Radiohead, and even more recently bands like Arctic Monkeys are. We consume music in an entirely different way now and the invention of streaming means most people listen to playlists comprised of various artists instead of albums, and so 99% of the songs people listen to are forgotten about the next day and people are onto the next big thing.

I just find it really odd when people come out with things like your last sentence, making your opinions out to be fact and drawing these assumptions that are impossible to make. Yes a lot of The 1975's stuff is essentially pop music and a large majority of their fanbase are young girls, but it's hardly One Direction is it? Their newest album has gotten rave reviews from a variety of publications and one of the tracks was given song of the year by Pitchfork (Not a fan of them personally but I doubt they'd be giving song of the year to 1D). There's clearly more to their music than a lot of people seem to let on. Not liking them is one thing, but to make out like they have nothing to offer musically and they'll be forgotten about in a couple of years is mad.

Hate to use a modern medium but needs must. The Cure have more Spotify plays.

Whats that old metric used for the velvet underground? How many bands started after listening to their music? Even in the absence of reliable data, the Cure must be lightyears ahead on this front.

The 1975 are in fact more or less One Direction. Its just meaningless pop made to maximise returns.

Any chance that White Lies could be doing a secret set? I appreciate they're hardly the biggest name for many and it won't get the entire festival rushing over to see them. However, they have just come off a successful tour and had another good album earlier this year and it is therefore a bit of a shock, to me at least, they're not playing in some capacity.  

They're active, playing a festival this weekend and then have a gig in Frome on the 11th of July, before heading off on a European tour. They also haven't played the festival since 2014 when they were on the Other Stage, so might jump at the chance to do something. 

With regards to secret sets specifically, i was thinking maybe Williams Green on the Thursday or perhaps even opening the Park Stage maybe? 

(This is all said with as much hope as anything).

what about The Raconteurs for John Peel Saturday night?

Against The Killers?

That JP slot will be announced beforehand.

[joeruss]

What about Daft Punk?

[George_92]

Blossoms could be somewhere – William's Green maybe? They have a new single out Thursday and mentioned being at Glastonbury in an interview a bit back

Unfortunately they have said they aren't there this year.

Don't think they are even in Europe so very unlikely.

Another one that you'd look at their dates and be certain they'd be playing this year.  I'd like to see them play William's Green personally. 

[adequate8]

Been told Robyn definitely not there by someone close to the band

[wozwebs]

Blossoms for William’s Green Thursday is a good shout

I don't believe they are playing this year.

[MrRadioactiveCake]

Wolf Alice look to have been in rehearsal today... a month out from their first festival dates (probably nothing but you never know)

Christ that’d be a shite result. Thankfully I don’t think it’ll be them.

[Superscally]

Seems strange that Drenge aren't really touring seeing as they have a new album (that's very good) out? 

[Brave Sir Robin]

Gruff Rhys is part of the Barry White thing Sat pm, so expect him to pop up somewhere (at least a Crow’s Nest show)

[BojackHorse]

Shocked there’s been no mention of Parquet Courts, album out not too long ago and have done plenty of UK fests recently, and seemingly they are in Europe during the Glastonbury period

[ScarletBlaster]

First time going to Glastonbury! What time do I need to be at Strummerville for Frank Turner to guarantee seeing him? To that end, is it possible for that stage to reach capacity?

[GrooveCity]

What's the consensus right now?

I was surprised they weren’t on the lineup. They seem an odd choice for a TBA slot though, sadly.

The same with Young Fathers too really

No one knows much at all with any certainty (bar Foals by the look of it), so we’ve reached the point where people start just naming acts they like and suggesting that they could be playing.

[stuartbert two hats]

Just noticed that Confidence "not playing Glastonbury" Man are playing on Bristol tonight.

One week before the festival, Confidence "based in Australia" Man are in the SW of England.

Hmmmm ?
