Wow, they played some shows towards the end of last year - as a fundraiser for the family of one of their best friends. I got the impression that was that, but looks like they're back

Tom Jones on the Friday and Glastonbury 50 has a legend slot each day 😉

[CaledonianGonzo]

Done it already.

Stereophonics have a couple of dates in July... did we ever 100% rule them out? They fit the “Pyramid level” Other description...

They maybe did in 2008

I am fully convinced acts structure their tours with a glasto gap just in case they get a call.

Still a decent sized draw I’d say. They’d attract a decent crowd opposite Swifty for example.

Not usually a huge crossover with Download but can we have Frank Carter & Rattlesnakes back please?

Would absolutely love distillers and/or System of a Down here. Lord knows where they’d play like

And if they don’t get the call they can blag their way in as punters via hospitality!

Bonobo said he purposely left a Glastonbury gap in his touring schedule a couple of years ago but never got the call. So I don't think you're far off for some acts. 

Picture shamelessly stolen from this very site:

It's crazy how Killswitch Engage can headline 2nd stage.

Yes please. Are you going the Feb. tour? 

Apparently, FFAF this is their last show (again) - they've said it's the 'last chance to dance'...

Yeah you're right, and despite the fact they only subbed Glastonbury in 2017 they seem to headline everywhere else so Emily's comment still stands. Think they're more of a front runner for this than anybody else now.

Very possible Biffy Clyro will headline the other,  Sunday night.  A good contrast from Swifty on the pyramid. They’ve been mentioned for a few years as possible headliners but I reckon the  Pyramid headline ship has sailed for them. Would fit in with the comments about pyramid style headliners on other stages.

I would shamefully quite like the darkness to play, maybe Avalon stage or opening a stage.

There’s a hatchet to bury there between Hawkins and M.E. Won’t happen.

Can see three acts on the poster that were there last year so could be on for a couple of the smaller acts.

Oh really, what's the issue there? First time I've heard that.

That seems like someone said to Justin that Glastonbury wants to book them when they didn't and then got pissed off because no one contacted them.

From what I know (grew up in the same area and went to the same school as the band (fair few years prior) he was a complete dick to anyone outside of their circles and it only got worse. 

He has made apologies since he's been sober though and especially since the band have been back, I think they'd make a fantastic early other band for a bit of fun.

Yeah it always struck me as a Justin ego thing than an actual fallout, clearly thought he was the biggest thing about for about 18 months.

Amen!  Saw them on the Gully back in 2015 and they were good.  Saw them last year supported by Bedouin Soundclash (what a pair to see in one night!) and they've only got better.  Top band.

I'm tempted to break my rules about London gigs as they're touring with Interrupters at the moment...
