yeeeeeeahhhhhhhh. would be very welcome!

Oh this, this, this.

Seen him at EOTR, Latitude and headlining the second stage at Green Man. I would love to complete the quartet at GF this summer.

GIVE HIM A BALL AND A YARD OF GRASS

[dentalplan]

where would he even play at Glasto these days? Park headline is obviously the perfect slot but he's done that and far too big for it now. can't really think of another suitable slot for him where he wouldn't just be lost

Other Stage headliner. Easy one that.

[Amy Lawn]

Last time I saw him play was the bloody MEN arena, looks like that was one of his last shows in a long while, couple of other UK dates after and then nothing until this. Other Stage headliner may well be it, or perhaps John Peel? Arena act in 2012, but how will the absence have affected him?

christ i'd forgotten just how big he got. headlined Latitude as well didn't he? so yeah, guess Other headliner it is!

His Latitude headline set was astonishing, but neither then or at the arena did it feel like watching a "big" act, it was really weird how popular he was then. I think it's because at both gigs, the sort of person I saw was always the standard gig nerd type I see at smaller and mid-level gigs, just loads more of them. I still tend to think of him as being a niche type act, even though he's clearly quite mainstream, I don't know how he managed that.

This exchange has prompted me to listen to him for the first time in ages. Fucking excellent isn't he?

[Mezhyp1]

I'm sure they would absolutely nail an other stage headline slot, I would love to see that

[Brave Sir Robin]

Tallest Man on Earth is in London on Tuesday 23rd

Playing Roskilde too, definitely looks likely

[Winslow Leach]

He's one of the few people in history to not only avoid sounding terrible on Jools Holland, but to actually sound better on the show than on record. Yeah, I said it. Come at me, nerds.

Zz top .. Their over here gigging the same week with Thunder... I'd take both

[klipper]

He/his band really needs to come back, headlining the other stage would be a dream

[Harmonic Prospector]

Me too. Thunder in particular are a brilliant live act. Consistently have the best gig atmosphere of any band that I have seen over the years. I'd take a punt on them on West Holts in a similar slot that Vintage Trouble played (briefly) last year.

[Gnomicide]

I hate Thunder. Always have done, poor mans Whitesnake.

ZZ top are Glasto teases!

[Justiceforcedave]

Duran Duran....make it so.

Father John Misty - Great new album and playing in Ireland on the 27th

I adore Father John Misty. His "debut album" a couple of years ago was an incredible reinvention for J. Tillman. I love how this new album has generated such a buzz and an overwhelming amount of positive reviews across the board. How he has unleashed this run of wonderfully melodic songcraft, after years of hushed, difficult to penetrate acoustic songs is nothing short of astonishing.

Imagine John Grant, Rufus Wainwright, Fleet Foxes and early Elton John all mixed in together and you get the idea. He is a funny dude too.

I heard a horrible rumour that Green Man may have him on an exclusive though.

Die Antwoord are in Germany on 21/06 and Finland on 24/06. Can definitely see them at West Holts

Only person they've advertised as any kind of exclusive is, somewhat strangely, Courtney Barnett.

[Perks]

Steel Pulse are about, be cool to see them back. Think they last played in 09 - Jazz World.

With all the publicity of the new album and a big push on his career as Father John Misty, I'd have thought he'd want to spread it about as much as possible, so I don't reckon he'll be exclusive anywhere - I'd not have thought he was 'big' enough to explore that, really...which makes Courtney Barnett all the more odd...and a shame, as I'd love to have seen her at The Park at GF2015.

The Tallest Man On Earth playing a London show the Tuesday of Glasto week, would be great on Park.

[Mardy]

I'm very very suspicious of Courtney Barnett actually being an exclusive at Green Man. Seems odd.

Yep, see previous page.
