Whitney were nailed on already but have just announced Brighton on the 27th so I guess they're doubled-nailed now, or something. 

This is fantastic, I've only very recently (yesterday) listen to their album and love it

Sweet! Played the album to absolute death on release so not quite as amped to see them as I was and discovering the singer was also the drummer put me off a little (vocals sound a little shakey from live videos I've seen) but I'll definitely still check them out clashes permitting.

yeah the vocals weren't great at all when I saw them in Brighton, it wasn't a great gig to be honest. They were very much overshadowed by Julia Jacklin in my opinion. I love the album though and some of my friends who have seen them have said only good things so maybe I just caught them on an off day.

[Bradders]

I've seen them pretty much every time they've played London and always enjoyed it. He does struggle with breath a bit when drumming, missing the ends of lines and stuff. They also kinda seem like nobheads. Great music though.

[big__phil]

I'm another who's finally got round to listening to the record, and really like it. I had no idea the vocalist was the drummer either.

Bad news, Iggy Pop is playing a festival in Canada Glastonbury weekend. Pretty gutted.

Ah shite. Was probably always more wishful thinking than incredibly likely but that's still a crap result. Thinking Royal Blood may take the third down Pyramid Friday 'rock' slot now (again, if it exists, which I'm saying it does until proven wrong ).

All rests on who they book for it this year I guess.

May have to return my ticket.

On the topic of the Friday Rock slot, would Blue Öyster Cult work? 

Tour dates certainly leave it possible

There's a few possibilities for that slot, if they're still doing it:

B.O.C., Rainbow and Deep Purple to name a few.

Barry Gibb has no tour dates booked at all and Diana Ross has nothing planned at all apart from New York and Vegas. Fail to see how they can even be rumoured for Glastonbury.

It's decent but preferred top lines last year.

I think they'd be in for a considerably lower slot than Motorhead and ZZ Top would demand. At the same time on the Acoustic would work.

The website's owner has trusted sources that have said as much. Ross seems less certain than Gibb but they're there for a reason, which isn't tour dates.

For what it's worth, Barry Gibb did have an arena tour of Australia set up but he went on to cancel it because he had "a change in international commitments", though I also read it was binned because he didn't sell enough tickets. The lack of other commitments seemingly indicates which one is true.
