Booking the likes of Richard Thompson instead of DJ Slipmatt is just baffling 

Still hoping for the rumoured b2b on IICON 🤞

Might get a Steve Earle / Sharron Shannon collab on The Galway Girl.

Clashes permitting, I'll be there for Sharron Shannon.

My sister passed away whilst I was at Glastonbury 2015 and this year on her 70th birthday I’ll get to see Gilbert O’Sullivan play. He was as one of her favourites back in the day so will be a lovely way to mark the day. Although how the emotions will be late on day 5 will be interesting 😂

Great way to celebrate her mate.  Hope you have the best time

Not that shocking to have a lot of Irish musicians at a folk stage. 

Folk stage? I think that’s over stating it. Plenty of rock n roll on there over the years. Anyway, not saying it’s a bad thing it just seemed like a lot more than usual.

Er three must sees on there for me plus some Leonard Cohen covers. Made for me that stage is. <old gimmer>|

Would rather see a solo Toyah set personally.

I would rather see a solo Robert Fripp, that would be amazing!

I wish I had just 1/50th of her confidence.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not normally the most pumped about the Acoustic line-up, but seeing Sniff n the Tears on there, especially given they're early on Friday, would be a great start to the weekend. Of all people, my tattoo artist got me into them during one session. Great surprise act for me, personally.

On this recommendation alone I am going to check them out 🙂

I will likely see my namesake as well

That will be quite poignant for you. One we’d like to see as well but I reckon there might be serious clashes elsewhere.

Hope the cake stall is back in the field. Sorely missed last year. Was a regular there.

Good stuff. When did Badly Drawn Boy last play? 2004 when he filled in last minute for Jet on the Other?

I was listening to that Badly Drawn Boy set in the queue for my first pair of hats.

For reference....

Horses for courses, there's sod all I want to see on there, but three or four on this year's which may be a record for that stage, at least this century.

He played the acoustic tent in 2010 I believe. Might have actually been 2009.

And come to think of it I’m not sure if it was at the acoustic. 
I think I’ll check!

Badly Drawn Boy played Avalon in 2009. 
Final Answer. 
He seemed genuinely annoyed that he wasn’t on a bigger stage, although he then said it didn’t bother him and that areas like Avalon were the real Glastonbury. He also kept hammering home the point that he had won a Mercury Music award whilst Chris Martin from Coldplay hadn’t and that he was a much better song writer. 
I can’t really argue against either of his points but I just remember him being needlessly bitter and grumpy between songs!
