Beck in Italy Friday and Saturday, not that there was much expectation of him. A few dates in the uk would be nice though.

Bollocks! Was hoping he’d show up.

I've a feeling Roger Hodgson from Supertramp has been mentioned here before, but his tour schedule has a nice gap....

looking at all of his dates, it could just be 6-8 weeks of shows and then some time off, as there's a big break in August too.

Just been to have a look at what they are predicting in their thread. Not sure what the general consensus is?

Liam/ Biffy and BMTH/ Eminem or Stormzy of RATM, cant quite tell. 

 

Man, the level of negativity is really surprising. I'd probably give it up and think about going to another festival.

Also Peaches, Jimmy Cliff, Baaba Maal, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry with Adrian Sherwood, Oumou Sangare, Meshell Ndegeocello, Love Unlimited Synth Orchestra, Lee Fields and The Expressions, and Ladysmith Black Mambazo - all of whom become candidates for a Glasto spot (apart from, I guess, Love Unlimited who were there last year).

The Reading/Leeds forum is a strange, godless place at the best of times.

Honestly, that line up would be very strong

Meshell Ndgeocello on a sunny West Holts late afternoon would be most welcome indeed

Lucky! But not exclusive. There may be a small, very small chance. I can’t see it happening though.

 

edit: maybe R&L’s money might allow them to play Glastonbury at a lower cost...? They did a free gig.

Run The Jewels are supporting as well, but there's a gap in the calendar...

[Suprefan]

I think Reading gets to keep Rage out there til the Glasto poster drops if they even are on there. Still no info if theyre an exclusive right?

They aren't around are they in June?, if no exclusive then yes someone has them. It would be a lot to come over a 2nd time in the middle of a 20 day gap for a gig that doesn't pay.

Are the not quite political though and Glastonbury fits their ethos? 

[Hugh Jass]

The only space for Rage is Other headliner and let’s face facts here... that ain’t happening.
