Biffy Clyro seem odds on to appear.

Biffy Clyro to do a secret set under cliffs biro. 

Supposed to be how they got the name, thinking about “cliff richard with a pen” which became cliffs biro= biffy Clyro

The National were always a (very) long shot though.

The others mentioned all seem quite glaring omissions.

Perhaps more wishful thinking in my eyes then 😛

Aerosmith are the big surprise especially since the rumour came from themselves. Possible they might be playing a waiting game to see how things develop.

Could be that - the Glastonbury appearance is part of an Arena tour, and right now they're still flogging tickets for that.

If they cancel the tour, then obviously we can assume they're gone. Until then they're still on the table.

Why were they such a long shot? They're around Europe at the time. Gutted to see them missed off.

I'm sure Carl Cox self confirmed or am I dreaming?

[Bisque]

No The 1975, I wonder if they are doing a secret set. Maybe.

Still hoping for Young Fathers.

Think they're an APE exclusive. 

[TomViolence]

Waxahatchee and Julia Holter - both in the country around the festival.

Just as virgin of Glastonbury I am. Are we expecting more big names in the upcoming weeks/months? Or the names missing will be kind of medium size. 

Still loads to announce but you'll not get the same overall level of acts. Places like Williams Green, The Glade and lower echelons of JP / Other. 

Yer likes of Biffy, Aerosmith, Gerry C and that size are heading into special guest territory. Not sure there's been that many A list additions to the first drop in recent years. (using the term A list very loosely there).

I think you may be right - APE website says it's a world exclusive. Still I can always dream

Too many long names on the poster already...

[Honeybane]

Where king gizz being touted around to play this year?

[Matt42]

WHERE THE FUCK IS DOJA CAT

[assorted]

I love the lineup so far but am a bit disappointed at no Cat Stevens. Do people think he’s a large enough name that him being not on the first poster means he’s not playing?

Ah, that’s why the Bar Steward sons of Val Doonican are being saved for the Avalon cafe poster 

[CaledonianGonzo]

If they just said Lekkido everyone would know who they meant.

Unless they havent booked him yet. 

[Dan190984]

Biggest surprises for me are Gerry Cinnamon, Paul Heaton and Lewis Capaldi. Thought these were all nailed on. 

[JoeyT]

Was expecting to see Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott

[DaveSardine]

We're Idlewild in contention? I suspected they could be playing with a few announcements recently and would make sense a mid sized announcement
