Was just basing it off Deep Purple doing an arena tour last time they toured here, whereas Judas Priest are a support act on one next year. I reckon they'd be more well known to a Glastonbury crowd anyway.

I guess so. But, despite their arena status, I don't think they'd be terribly well known to a Glasto crowd apart from the one song or that much bigger than acts that have done the slot before.

Yeah that's fair, I suppose Judas Priest not being exclusive at Bloodstock means they're probably still more likely.

Deep purple would give great pleasure to this oldie, been following them since 1973,  seeing everyone of their incarnations! Some of the most memorable gigs of my life were DP gigs in the 70s. One gig had Lynrid Skynrid as a support,   Having said that I can’t see them being booked, I never really associated them with Glastonbury, but I live in hope!

Offspring are also playing at Graspop, honestly can see them returning next year. Perfect size for the friday rock slot

No headliner announcement this year but we could still get the Rock Slot? Or do they usually announce it closer to the festival?

Rock Slot isn't really a thing officially.

The Monkees are doing a US tour in April.

Don’t think there’s any pattern to it’s announcement.  Btw, My daughter saw U2 In Auckland a few days ago. !

They always get a huge crowd in NZ. My Mum was pregnant with me at one of their gigs, so can technically claim I've been to a U2 concert? They're not really my thing.

Why not claim that? Ironically my wife was pregnant with my daughter At a David Bowie gig and she loves his music. A hell of a lot better than U2!

Does anyone know more Deep Purple tunes than that one everyone learns on guitar in first year of music at high school?

Absolutely live Deep Purple. Child in Time is one of the best songs ever written and I'll debate anyone who says otherwise.

Machine Head is also a cracking album. Would love to see them

My Mum was pregnant with my brother at AC/DC. He definitely got the better deal!

Got to say, In Rock is one of my favourite ever albums and made in Japan a tremendous live album, almost my top live album but AC/DC if you want blood takes that accolade!

Emily Eavis quote from George Ezra podcast:

"We have a metal slot on a Friday.

Which is on the Friday at about 5pm, and that's a new thing that has just started. That is now a really big slot. I quite like this, I'm quite into the expansion of the line-up beyond those three headline slots".

So although it didn't happen last year, it is a thing.

I’m that case my two year old daughter has already been to Glastonbury!

[zahidf]

Killing joke are playing  grasspop. Could be in with a shout...

[zeppelin]

Deep Purple would be phenomenonal but there's absolutely no way they'd be in the rock slot. 

Machine Head, In Rock, Live in Japan. Incredible albums.

As a DJ who has performed at Glastonbury, does she think Foals are big enough to headline?

She slept through Foals secret set soooooo... no.

[lukethekid]

Didn’t the rock slot used to be a hip hop slot? Afternoon Friday, now that hip hop & grime has became more prominent that’s obviously been swerved off.

The Offspring were loved within my group of friends through school and college, so i'm hoping so!

Noticed they played in 1995 (25th Anniversary), so would be fitting if they returned for the 50th

if you've been following them since 1973 you couldn't have seen all of their incantations.
