She'll play again. Don't know where, don't know when, though

Yeah, she's 105 years old and she's dead, granted. Let's put her down as a maybe.

The guys in Gilla Band (fka Girl Band) are good friends of mine - when they were here in Brooklyn this past week I asked if they were playing and they said they hadn't been asked so probably not.

Someone who works with Patrick Topping has said that he won't be there this year.

Apologies if old news, no Orbital ☹️

Not sure if posted elsewhere but I think this rules Iggy out 😞  Can’t see him doing two days on the trot in different countries

Struggling to read this font, but is the festival really called 'Tons of Rock'?

[Zoo Music Girl]

Also shame about Iggy. Everyone I wanted is getting ruled out this week ha

Damn right it is, ZMG. And it's illegal, and dare I say, impossible, to say "Tons of Rock" without throwing up the horns

Haha! Fully agree. Love it.

Future Islands and Joyce Manor ruled out as well.

Also if I'm reading this correctly... Joyce Manor are using a 4-day gap (July 5-8) to fly to the UK and play 2000 Trees + London/Leeds shows, before rejoining the Weezer tour? That's insane.

Was about to ask if Weezer had ever played Glastonbury as it would feel like a slightly unexpected booking. As it is, only time was in 1995, which is one more time than I thought.

Saw them supporting Green Day and Fall Out Boy at the Hella Mega show in London last year. Actually pretty fun live so would've been good but oh well.

Just came in here to post this. The one band I think I would love to see at the fest more than anyone else.

Bah. Was half hoping for a Future Islands return too.

[churlie100]

Not that they were predicted but Devo out
