Would be nice to see British Sea Power in JP/somewhere later than early Pyramid like a few years ago.

I think they're great but can get lost on bigger stages on occasion.

Completely agree, 3rd/4th from top in the JP tent would be a really good place for them, or similiar slot on the park.

Thought Manics were gonna open the Other Stage on the Friday last year, so just gonna stick with that prediction for this year until proven otherwise.

Here’s a thought... has a past headliner ever played that slot in past? They’re certainly the right size now. Now would be a good first time for it with it being the 50th etc.

Yeah this was my thinking behind it last year as it would’ve been 20 years since they headlined, but fuck it, similar occasion this year and they’d be a lot better than most of what has come before in this slot.

So up for the possibility of Manics.

I've been saying it every year since 2014... I'll be right one day

I was feeling particularly Glastonburied just as they ripped into Europa Geht Durch Mich... I don't normally like seeing MSP at a festival (its not really a fans gig) but that was a happy moment

I wonder who the Special Guests will be. I mean, they do sometimes get pretty big acts for this , yeah? Let's just hope it's not The Who again...

Roger Daltrey is the main patron of TCT. This is why they play most years.

[Gilgamesh69]

Reckon this could be good?

This is a good lineup, hopefully Angel Olsen and Big Thief aren’t exclusive here

I think Pixies, Angel Olsen and Big Thief are all over from the start of July, so hopefully they come over a week earlier.

This get announced on Tuesday. Someone check it as I will forget and - despite it being pretty small - it had a bit of crossover last time around.

Looks like another date for Foals. Doesn’t really change anything as they seemed Sunday or nothing but with that and the drummer saying they haven’t been booked they do look very unlikely now.

Calvin Harris is a UK dance festival exclusive so potentially in the running?

Not that I'd watch him

[Heather90]

Kool and the Gang  announced for Stars in Town in Switzerland at the start of August. Would be cool for West Holts / early pyramid

So both Cat Power and IDLES played the Friday of Glastonbury and then played this on the Saturday.  No reason to rule FOALS out just yet I suppose.

Very excited for this.
