Michael in Pilton tonight

[theDandy]

Intriguing to see their info about Disclosure headlining the Friday on the Other. Thought LCD were 99% nailed on for that. I'm just hoping for no LCD/SigurRos/Foals/EW&F clashes. Neil where would you place LCD if not Friday Other? And where are you thinking Sigur Ros are most likely going to end up, in your opinion?

He also mentioned he has a meeting with Prince's representatives in a week's time and would like him for the 2018 festival.

And that 2017's headliners are booked. 

Make of that what you will. Typical soundbites from the great man. Thoroughly enjoyed his company. 

Incidentally, what was this meeting that happened last night? I don't think I've seen it mentioned anywhere.

the 2018 festival as in this second festival he's started talking about? interesting - maybe he plans to trick Prince in to playing seeing as he seems to adamant to not play Glastonbury itself

I really hope it will be called not-Glastonbury.

was watching this earlier, prince lives in his own world 

Thank you! That is a great video, half an hour well spent.

Always keen to hear from the director of Tusk.

How would they manage the Prince 2018 thing unless the Fallow Festival had more money attached somehow, nothing has changed apart from that really. If they are aiming that high it would suggest the same high ticket price or that they are worried they wouldnt sell out and so needed rumours of big acts which would justify Princes weird 'you're just using my name to hype up a festival' ranting.

But then again it is just Michael talking. I need a coffee.

I can see centerparks being the luxury accommodation for the festival with busses running back and forth constantly to the festival site. Centerparcs would be very happy with this as normally rates in June are quite low ( not school hols) so they could up them and easily sell out the site purely for this.

2k for a 4 bedroom lodge I.e. 250 per person would be understandable. Dread to think now much the cabins with Hot tubs etc would go for!

We should set up a competition to see who can predict the eventual name, maybe?

Fallowfest?

Camp Glastonbury? 

Glastonbury Orient?

My fave (given likely location) is Longitude - they could even hold it the same weekend as the Suffolk-based Glasto wannabe!

There's already a Longitude festival in Ireland - linked with Latitude!

Is there?!  ...googles... Oh yeah. 

Ah, I was just thinking it would have been a good opportunity for Latitude to do a Reading/Leeds with Suffolk and Longleat.Guess Ireland makes more sense than Longleat, too.

Glasto McGlastoFace seems the obvious one.

They should simply call it "Glastonbury".  And rename the original festival Pilton McPillface.

He was, wasn't he? First time I've been in his company. What a charming and engaging man he is

Do we know that the 2018 festival is in June? Wasn't there some weird news item last December claiming Prince had confirmed he was willing to play Glastonbury in April?

Re: Charlotte Church appearing on Leftfield; I wonder if Charlotte Church's Pop Dungeon will get a slot on one of the late night stages. Tearing up the #atpfestival hashtag right now where she's apparently covered Joy Division, Basement Jaxx, Bowie, Nine Inch Nails and Neutral Milk Hotel. Seems p. interesting.
