Acts Touring Around Glastonbury Time 2015

[FuzzyDunlop]

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are playing at the INmusic festival in Croatia over 22-24th June. About time they made a return to Glastonbury.

They could headline the JP vs Coldplay...

Done.

MEW

I'll second that, Mew are ace.I have a particular soft spot for them because they're one of those bands I stumbled across by chance.

One of my favourites, Black Mountain are playing at the Azkena Rock Festival in Spain on 19th and 20th June. Fingers crossed they head over. Could see them in Williams Green.

This would be great, do enjoy Black Mountain. Saw a great show of theirs at the Lexington a couple of years back, even had a smoke with the guitarist outside afterwards. A bit of a "we're not worthy" moment tbh. Yeah Williams Green or Park please.

Best Kept Secret announced the week before

Decent enough

Was this one of the supposed libertines dates I can still see them doing something at Glasto (Special Guest on Opening other?)

Normally a fair amount of overlap aswell

This!!!!

I bought Frengers years and years ago on a whim. Saw them at V festival of all places back in 06 or 07. Would be a lovely band for the Park.

It wasn't on the original list (although it's now been added), so clearly the original list was not definitive - good news if you're hoping for them.

from that i'd take The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Tallest Man on Earth, Earl Sweatshirt, Eagulls, Metz, Hookworms, First Aid Kit, Future Islands, Alvvays, Ariel Pink, BadBadNotGood, Evian Christ, Waxahatchee

not bad at all!

Shit I didn't spot METZ on first scan of the lineup. Probably means a new album too. Fucking ace.

they're definitely working on a new album - think i saw them mention it on their Facebook

[Mardy]

I tell you what, good lineup but that Best Kept Secret doesn't sound a lot of fun, pretty strict on what you can and can't bring in.

[the wonderwhy]

That BKS has a fantastic undercard (as always). Shame about the rather drab headliners. Definitely hope JAMC, Metz, Hookworms, Pissed Jeans, Alvvays, Mew and First Aid Kit play.

Hinds, Wolf Alice and Gengahr too but those three were probably nailed on anyway.

Yep, there was a little video preview of it but it really didn't give any indication. Definitely something to look forward to.

[yellowsnow]

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but what about the Flaming Lips?

[rjb94]

Yeah that'd be nice. In Liverpool about a month before I think. I reckon they'd agree to headline the Park these days

[Tuna]

Reckon they'd be a better fit for West Holts personally, though the lack of screens might be an issue.

[the wonderwhy]

I just noticed Refused are still free & they're not an exclusive at R/L so fingers crossed...

Not sure how that'd go down, would be great though. JP Headline?

[Mezhyp1]

Don't think they would quite play that high, maybe the hell stage or something or lower down JP

[Fingerbobs]

Hot on the heels of C#ldplay, could Elbow be making Glasto feel like it's 2011 all over again?! Whispers are they have outdoor shows this summer....

Nah they won't play 2 years in a row, not really any other slot they could do anyway. I thought the gigs they're doing this month would be the last we'd see of them for a while.

[Fingerbobs]

Me too but they're going to be back on the road apparently. Highly unlikely to be back I know but you never know.

Looks like ELO are re-surfacing for the Grammys

I can't think of another festival where they'd fit in quite so well as Glastonbury, but at the same time, I guess it's an expensive production thing for them to do and Pilton HQ just won't have the cash there, and the size of slot that would justify it, I guess. It's a proper 3 pipe problem.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I dunno - was their Radio 2 thing last year that big of a production? I obviously wasn't there, but was it not just Jeff Lynne and a few hired hands...?

I saw a clip of it on the telly and it seemed a pretty big setup
