You can see his point to be fair. The year time they played Arcadia was a DJ set, not live.

Yeah, I can see his point. It wasn't a serious boo tbh as, as much as I would love it to happen, I was aware it was unlikely.

What do you reckon the chances of them both playing over the weekend is though? Bearing in mind both their histories in the dance/electronic music side of the festival?

Underworld unlikely. Orbital probably. But not on IICON.

Is this based on any knowledge or information, or is it just speculation? I'd love to have both there this year, only caught the last 20 mins of Underworld's set last time they were there 'cos one of our group dragged us to see Disclosure, who were shite.

Orbital have a better storied and longer relationship with the festival than Underworld (not that they haven’t played a few times before) - wasn’t it 17 years between appearances for the latter before 2016?

I was surprised Orbital didn’t play last year -  only reason why they didn’t, I suspect,  was that they were being held back for the 50th.

With today’s info regarding WH and Iicon, I reckon now they’ll be a JP headliner. Or at a push, a Park headliner..although if the Bicep info is true, I doubt there will be 2 dance acts headlining there.

What was the info regarding WH?

Anyway, I’m pretty sure we had info a long time ago that Orbital were gonna be headlining John Peel one night so I’ll stick with that, and I’d hazard a guess that they’ll be on the Sunday night.

That the WH headliners were Thom Yorke, Kano and The Isley Brothers

It’s based on knowledge I’d have said it puts the idea of it thoroughly to bed.

Was a pipe dream for me, I won’t end up seeing them now. My headliners set in stone. 

Can’t believe you’re that committed, that early, Tommy!

Impressive. Mental, but impressive!

:)

I highly recommend the Orbital Glastonbury DVD for those who haven't seen it. Covers 94-04 and is an absolute treat. Personally I think their live shows have waned a bit since the second comeback, so I'm not sure that I would go for them as a headliner this year. Can see them doing JP and not getting a great crowd, they aren't as big a draw as they used to be sadly.

I said to their tour manager that i was hoping for West Holts and he said "we were and for Groove Armada but so many people want to play for the 50th" 

 

I think he said Groove are in the Glade.

Surely not, that would be ridiculous

    • So, that Survation poll...Reform have replaced the Tories as the main right party, and Restore are where Reform used to be as the fringe extreme right party gaining support. Grim. What happened to one nation liberal tories?
