Acts Touring Around Glastonbury Time 2015

[elias]

Burt Bacharach playing Colston Hall in Bristol on July 8th.

I thought I'd read somewhere that he was unlikely to be at Glastonbury, but it shows he is around at the time.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

ha, one of the guys i was camping with got overly pissed off at that. us scousers are proud people

My entire family are mancunians, apart from my 2 cousins who are from Liverpool, needless to say there was always a lot of ribbing at Christmas time.

On the Hives and their entertaining-ness - I'm no great fan of them musically, find the lead singer a bit of a bell end and the only previous time I saw them I thought it was pretty rubbish, but with all that said, that particular morning of Glastonbury was just an awful lot of fun and helped clear my hangover.

Take That are touring....

so are Duran Duran - my wife's keeping everything crossed for both to appear!

[dentalplan]

Die Antwoord are the most important name on that announcement for me.

[eFestivals]

You're the only person on Earth that doesn't like them except maybe Nina Persson.

they were alright for about the first ten minutes of the first time I saw them.

Everything beyond that is simply a repeat.

[A13]

Expect to see Hozier there.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Andrew WK was around last summer and didn't get booked, although Download is much closer dates-wise to G than Y Not, I guess..

[Hoax]

Don't know if anyone has said it already but.. Both the Prodigy and the Chemical brothers have new live shows going on this summer, would be very dissapointed if neither of them were to show up.. Saturday night other stage please!

[LondonTom]

Guilty pleasure? Really shit?

He's great fun. Glastonbury need him in that slot on Other after the secret set has bummed everybody out.

Spot on, would brilliant in that slot!!

(And definately needs a late night slot on Hell to, that would go even better!)

5 more acts confirmed for Rock Werchter, Caribou's playing on Thursday 25th, Death Cab for Cutie and Balthazar on Friday 26th and Angus and Julia Stone and Sam Smith on Saturday 27th.

[FloorFiller]

come on Death Cab!

[Brave Sir Robin]

Death Cab now playing Paris on the Thursday, Werchter on the Fri and Düsseldorf on the Sat. Looks unlikely to me.

ah shite i hadn't noticed the other days. balls

[Brave Sir Robin]

On the positive side, means Caribou are back in Europe after Bonnaroo.

[Tuna]

Caribou are even more nailed on I reckon. Great news. Hoping we get a good Field Day crossover to minimise expenditure!

Burt Bacharach playing Colston Hall in Bristol on July 8th.

I thought I'd read somewhere that he was unlikely to be at Glastonbury, but it shows he is around at the time.

26 June - London, Royal Festival Hall

30 June - Manchester, Bridgewater Hall

1 July - Birmingham, Symphony Hall

3 July - Nottingham, Royal Concert Hall

5 July - Cardiff, Wales Millennium Centre

8 July - Bristol, Colston Hall

It does look pretty promising doesn't it?

If Lionel Richie hadn't already been confirmed, I'd have said he's nailed on for the Legends slot.

[CaledonianGonzo]

While it looks good for Burt, he's been doing UK tours during or just after the fest for the last two years and still managed to bodyswerve it. Hopefully the third time's the charm.

Edit to say: his current show is way too mellow and low key to really fulfil the current legend slot criteria.

Me too!

Also like to add my support for Andrew WK. And I love the idea of the post disappointing secret set on Other slot being a thing.

I am quite opposed to the three "teams" you appear to support but I'm entirely with you on this. I need to see this live:

I really hope so. They seem to be on every line up coming out which will make it even harder if they're not at Glastonbury.

[Mouseboy11]

Hopefully we can get Will Butler, his new song is really really great!

Oh this is great! Yeah definitely get him on the bill somewhere...

I imagine he'l be on the Park.

With Arcade Fire headlining last year i'd say it's likely he'l wanna come back

This is quality, I was really surprised by his solo stuff it's good

Early evening park stage sounds about right
