The last dinner party, missed them this year when they were early on Woodsies. Would love to see them back.

They are very, very, good live. Saw them at End of the Road last year but had been a fan for a while. Did not disappoint. 
 

I would guess 3rd down at Woodsies

Get them on the Pyramid

(I've never knowingly heard them, but it's gotta be more interesting than some of the ancient MOR acts that people are suggesting)

this leaves me conflicted....I don't necessarily want badgers to die but if it is the price I have to pay for Queen not to be booked.....

You are safe in your moral dilemma Queen also don’t want badgers to die!

I reckon Other or Pyramid is more likely as they’ve already played Woodsies and they are on a hell of a trajectory. In July I saw them at The Deaf Institute and this year they are playing Victoria Warehouse!

Well worth checking out

For some reason I get mixed up between Last Dinner Party and English Teacher.  Probably because in my head their names both sound so....I dunno, British!

Hi All

I offered to do updates on the eFestival Glastonbury line up & rumours page as it's not been updated much of late, so I'm doing a spreadsheet for them to upload the info as & when. I'll send the first one by tomorrow, see my first efforts attached. We are going to include 'GSH' ones. I'll keep updating from what's posted but if there's ever any errors or obvious omissions please let me know. I've no insider knowledge so I'm simply going by what seems likely or not as posted on here. I hope this is of help to everyone!

Great idea! Tbh the site just hasn’t been the same since the rumours page when awol. I appreciate no one’s fault so well done for stepping up. 
 

Should we not keep to the usual r/sr/tbc? 
 

and deserves its own thread more than anything I believe

Their album Prelude to ecstasy out now, well worth a listen.

Could the rumours page also have a...  Ruled out list at the bottom?

Both good as well.

[Beerqueen]

I've been listening to some of English Teacher as they're at Bearded.  I know Last Dinner Party a bit from BBC6 but they're going to be on my listening list today while I work.

It's possible, let's see how things go first. Thanks for the suggestion.

I know TINP but we don't usually get announcements at the weekend do we?

No, but it's not entirely unheard of. Lionel and Taylor Swift notable exceptions to the rule.

I'd I'd suggest having it's own thread to keep track of it all and pin it. Thank you

Bicep Chroma set very likely as they left a smiling face (or similar) at playing Glasto this year. They usually say if they aren't

Where would they do it? Gas Tower's gone now and Iicon deals in dark and uncompromising niche-ery

The Levels?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Does that have the screens that would (presumably?) be needed?

Can't remember TBH, but I don't think so

Nowhere. 

It has massive wrap screens. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I think I might have spent a few hours in there for Annie Mac / Blessed Madge on the Friday last year - but hoo boy is it hazy.
