lots of wrong guesses in here, and a few right ones.

(No, I can't tell you which is which, that would be naughty of me)

Can you say if all 3 have been guessed?

 

I'm gonna say M83 are too good a fit not to do it.

I've not paid enough attention to be sure, but I think not.

Matey Three don't have any upcoming dates mind

I reckon I'm onto something with Goldfrapp and Kraftwerk and Metronomy. Two out of three I reckon. My guessing skills have been on point lately.

I had a look at their tour dates, didn't think it was significant because they're French. Apparently they're based in the USA now so you're probably on to something there.

Full line up 9. Did they mention whose headlining?

[Zoo Music Girl]

Ooh man I'd love to see Orbital there but it's so bloody close to Glastonbury and not sure I can justify the expense and holiday days. What was the deal with day tickets last year? Just the saturday?

nah, there were day tix for every day, I bumped into an old efester (who married another efester and have now produced some little efesters) who was just there for Underworld on a day ticket.

Ah good to know. Thanks don't suppose you've any idea of of day splits? Remember them coming out really late last year.

nope, there's no day info.

But I'd take a punt on Orbital being Friday tho, cos they're the first name of the headliners, and it would be like Underworld last year on the Friday.

I'd have thought they'd be headlining if they were playing, so presumably they're not.

[michael eavis' beard]

Orbital are playing Saturday...

 

[michael eavis' beard]

Pixies self confirmed for the Friday too.  So Alt-J Sunday.

Can you get a day ticket? Pixies are a must

Yes, you can. See above. Seriously thinking about the Orbital day.

Presume you can't camp for a day ticket?

Any idea how much they were last year? I see there's no info yet. Transport to and from the site is a bit of a ball ache as well, isn't it?

Still, food for thought.

last summer was dreadfully wet, but I'd be seriously worried about camping at bluedot in a wet one ... it was a dry weekend, but the ground was like a trampoline it was that springy (and some of the camping is in a big dip too - no idea what the ground was like in that part).

But, perhaps that was the result of last summer's deluge, and it's not normally like that.

Yeah, we camped last year and while the weather was fine I remember thinking I wouldn't fancy a wet one. We were at the bottom of a hill and all.
