Beth Gibbons told me the other night that she thinks she's playing on the Park Stage.  

This surprised me because I'd thought she'd be on Woodsies.  Didn't feel appropriate to push for more information, sorry. She's keen to watch Neil Young though, so she's either unaware that she's conflicting with him or there's no clash. 

It surprises me that she's not sure cos I was near certain that she was at - or very near - the top of the bill of the mf.

Wouldn't surprise me if she ends up late afternoon on Park stage, Saturday is packed with big acts, it would make sense that she's lower down than expected. Maybe about 4th down Park stage, similar to Lankum.

 

Though her solo stuff has done well critically, it hasn't translated into high demand ticket sales-wise. She's literally only announced 1 gig at the roundhouse in London this year and it's still not sold out, it's not like she already played London that recently either, just 1 gig at the Barbican last year. I know she'll get a bit of a pull because of Portishead but I think that's more the difference between playing like 6th down on Park to 4th down, rather than headlining or subbing.

Ok I've just checked and her roundhouse gig is sold out now, but I'm sure the last time I checked it hadn't. Even so it's only 1 gig at the roundhouse and if they were expecting higher demand she'd have been booked for a bigger venue.

That's going to upset a lot of people's thoughts about her subbing and being incorrect about it lol.

Resale in NYC was going for 6 bucks + service fees.

 

The light show of her current tour is gorgeous, so it'd be weird to have her in daytime.

A heads up, no confirmation which of the Friday slots he's doing. I imagine at this point though he can't give too much away.

Haha oops. FBS. I replied to an insta post of his trying to see which is the 3 big slots he's doing, or I guess 4 if you includes Rudimental but no bite.

 

In my head I had typed Fatboy Slim lol.

[Gnomicide]

FBS is playing at the same time as the main stage headliners.

Oh is that confirmed? I knew of information that he was Friday on Lonely Hearts and likely to be one of the latter one's/presumed headliner, but nothing concrete. Definitely there currently until Arcadia or the Glade spanners that.

He's on the poster for Friday Lonely Hearts but I've seen something that confirms him for that time.

You won’t miss him mate, I’ve seen him at every Glasto I’ve been to, 1 year I saw him everyday under 1 guise or another. Maybe 2017 ???

Given we have had the announcement I think its unlikely but Chris Hawkins has just said on 6 CMAT is on West Holts.

Yeah - I heard that too, but just discounted it as crossed wires info.

It's easy to assume that BBC DJs are more in the loop than they really are. Whenever something they say contradicts already announced info, I'd assume they've got it wrong based on a rumour or misunderstood conversation. There's been plenty of times over the years where something they've said has turned out to be wrong, and this is likely to be another instance of that.

 

Except Lauren, obviously. She's amazing and I trust every word she says.

So where is weezer going cause....

Every time The Hawk plays Wolf Alice he says that he's looking forward to watching them headlining the Pyramid, which suggests he's not privy to any inside info.

This is spot on. A later set for her would not be well attended. She may well still sub the park but it wouldnt be hard to imagine a much more popular act playing below her.
