Nice, that's pretty high odds! When did you place the bet out of interest? It's seemed pretty nailed on for a while now.

20th of Jan, they opened up shorter and i waiting, and then they went 8/1 and I had as much as they'd allow me, then the same at 15/8, which isn't fortunes on these novelty markets, but well enough to pay my ticket and travel

I only bet on Adele, I had 8/1 and 15/8 on her, which I thought might have been why they delayed payment as I had multiple bets, but apparently not

that's fuckin brilliant odds.

Brilliant, i've missed a trick here! Always nice to get one over on the bookies.

One thing I did want to ask is whether there's a chance Hooky may be with New Order???

Only place you'll see Hook and Sumner together these days is in court.

I see they've added some don't and formatting to the line up page

I believe they will, they'll be subbing morrissey and marr after they have kissed and made up

that sounds to me like they won't be taking Glasto bets in the future, as they've got badly burnt this time.

Not that surprising mind, most of the time there's a 'very likely' headliner they rake in on early before the announcement. This year its been fairly consistent info from the tabloids etc. and there's been no giant screw up (see Prince etc.)

Out of interest, did anyone get money/attempt to get money from Foos last year? I assume they paid out on announcement?

That banner manages to make the line up look less interesting than it actually is.

Oh god, I never knew that it was that bad between them.

Morrissey and Marr are on far friendlier terms at the moment than Hooky and the rest of New Order.

Can Keith Allen play the bass? Maybe they could draft him in.

Anyone can play (bass) guitar.

It is going to look 100x better when Foals are on there

Tame Impala is the name I'm really hoping for above all others this year, but Foals are definitely second.  Hoping for weather as good as they had last time they played, really are a band to enjoy a great sunset with.

Yeah mate same, Tame Impala are a great band. Biggest regret is not seeing them @ Brixton 2012. Fuckin exams.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Interesting that it looks like Foals and Tame Impala are co-headlining that fest in Bilbao (at least based on their placement on the poster). Still be surprised if Tame Impala are subbing but they must be nailed on to be third down. 

[FuzzyDunlop]

Every act I want is seemingly ruled out...

But, Iggy Pop and Beck are at the top of my wishlist now. Plenty of DJs I'd love to see too. 

Beck needs to play. Im pretty optimistic on him, but then again I was on Radiohead headlining.

Third down on the Pyramid, Tame, 1975 and Ellie G?

I'm pretty optimistic at the moment about my wishlist. PJ Harvey confirmed, New Order, Foals, Chvrches, TLSP, LCD, Wolf Alice and Savages all looking likely. Even the dream of Radiohead in some capacity lives on. 

Add the that a good possibility of Tame Impala, The Coral, Daughter and Richard Ashcroft and I'm more worried about clashes than who to see.

Tame Impala, TLSP and someone else. people seem to think Ellie would be subbing 

[Brave Sir Robin]

With that Prague festival on the Saturday Iggy's not looking likely. But there's still a chance.

Iggy needs to "Do a The Who" to that shower FFS.
