Acts Touring Around Glastonbury Time 2015

[Perks]

Good to see Dreadzone have a gap for Glastonbury, cant go to Glastonbury and not see Dreazone

[Acid_Haze]

i honestly can;t remember how much crossover there was last year, but i'm hoping there's a lot this year! some great stuff on there - Wu Tang Clan, Caribou, Jessie Ware, FKA twigs, Jamie xx, Nicolas Jar, Todd Terje, Mac Demarco, Action Bronson, Earl Sweatshirt, Hercules & Love Affair, and that's not even including all the great DJs they've got. shame it's such a shite festival, because the lineup is brilliant

Can see Ben Howard, George Ezra, Caribou, Todd Terje, Jessie Ware, James Bay, FKA Twigs, Jungle + Mac DeMarco all at Glastonbury this year

So what are the chances of some of the following also being at Glastonbury as this seems to happen over the same weekend ?

Particularly interested in the chances of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizards also appearing at Glastonbury.

Cracking lineup for this and would be my alternate if I hadn't got Glastonbury tickets.

Parklife is hell on Earth since it moved to Heaton Park unfortunately.

You'll struggle to get there, queue for ages to get in, queue for longer to get a drink, and even longer still to get home, assuming that you haven't been stabbed or bottled that is.

Another voice for 'avoid the new Parklife'. I used to go to the old venue when it was in the middle of the University accommodation but stopped attending when they moved. Bad vibes unless you want to spend your weekend brushing shoulders with Manchester gangsters and pissed up twats.

Still have nightmares of us trying to get away from Heaton Park after the Roses gigs. Ended up paying a takeaway delivery driver £30 to get us to Oldham.

I bloody hope so...Patti Smith, Iggy Pop, Songhoy Blues, really want them to be at Glastonbury

I'll be surprised if all three don't play Glastonbury

[Mouseboy11]

Have Of Monsters and Men announced a new album yet?

[dentalplan]

All three have two dates over the weekend though so you may be surprised if another gets announced..

Oh, didn't realise they'd all been announced for festivals other than Werchter.

[dentalplan]

I'd still be pretty confident, just pointing it out I guess.

[kingcrawler]

Another Of Monsters & Men announcement, they're doing Open'er the week after Glastonbury along with Modest Mouse, Refused, Django Django and Major Lazer.

[Matt42]

I want major lazer back at glasto

[Tuna]

thought major lazer were beyond dreadful at bestival. don't get the love, but whatever floats yer boat. modest mouse please.

edit: not really glastonbury time but good to see Battles doing festivals

Edited February 13, 2015 by Tuna

[ghostdancer1]

major lazer are w*nk, and Diplo is a twat of the highest order, so no thanks.

Refused at Glastonbury really, really needs to happen

[Mezhyp1]

Refused at Glastonbury really, really needs to happen

I must must must agree, where would they play do you reckon? I would take them playing absolutely anywhere

[FloorFiller]

Refused will never play Glastonbury (unfortunately). John Peel if anywhere i reckon (or maybe Other...) but i just don't see it

[marcwilson87]

Simply, they have to get Goat back!

[Mouseboy11]

There's reasons to suggest they could (no exclusive tout at Reading, A lot of dates near by) but you're probably right that they won't...Maybe Bragg will book them for Leftfield? That'd be a treat.

OK - long shot and wishful thinking

Jimmy Cliff is playing a couple of festivals - and finishes in the US on the 20th June - *crosses fingers* *clutches straws*
