ok, starting with the most certain, Dizzee Rascal was reported to be playing the Pyramid Stage in the Metro a few months back, but the story went cold. Seems now that he has self-confirmed on Radio 1 (according to http://www.gorge.org/glastonbury/lineup.shtml ).

The Gorge also report that Q-Tip (of A Tribe Called Quest fame) has self-confirmed on Radio 1. This sounds like the kind of hip-hop booking that really belongs at Glastonbury. Good news.

Saw them [black Kids] last year. They were OK live in my opinion, but not amazing. I was really looking forward to that set, so maybe I built them up too much in my own (stupid) mind!

If they played again this year I would probably still go, but I wouldn't be that bothered.

The Black Kids album is actually brilliant, but when I saw them at glasto it was one of the most underwhelming performances I have ever seen, and they were obviously very nervous. I'm still getting over the fact that I took myself away from Seasick Steve to go see these guys.

Cheers,

that's not quite correct I believe. I think it's the case that gilles peterson mentioned on his show on radio 1 this week that q-tip is playing glastonbury.

ok, so more speculation based on this:

http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=13364

now as we know, Common has worked with Glasto regular Lily Allen before, and the mention of Kanye West adds to the intrigue! Are we looking at a Glasto bill including Q-Tip, Common, and Kanye West!?

Is our faith in Glastonbury being rewarded!?!? Is it indeed the case that this year's festival will be just as f**king brilliant as ever, and that the naysayers are really going to be eating big slices of pie flavoured with chunks of woe-basted humility?

I have a theory that Glasto 2009 is going to be the year of the Jazzworld stage. Engulfed in a haze of green jazzy smoke. Marvellous. (Bonkers.)
