Kraftwerk performing at a new day festival in Milton Keynes the weekend before glasto, Johnny Marr, The The and Billy Idol also playing.

Saw Johnny Marr supporting Noel G a couple of years ago. It was basically the Smiths and Oasis tunes being smashed out

Tbf in 1970 there was less competition.

The spectre of Clean Bandit stinking up an afternoon on the Pyramid looms larger by the day.

All 5 main stages have screens now

the tiny baby screen that The Park has is not really helpful. On West Holts you have them on each side, small as they may be, but larger than The Park. Kraftwerk is pretty visual so you need that element. And we dont know if its a 3D show either.

I notice Ani Di Franco added more U.K. dates with a GSH, however I would be very surprised if she played as the Acoustic Stage was practically empty when she played in 2017

TBF she had a horrible clash as I recall.

Trivia note: Her UK agent also happens to be the lead booker for the Acoustic Stage.

 

Would say that those dates nail her on pretty much 100%. The Acoustic Stage has quite a low budget, and no TV coverage to dangle as a carrot and so it's no coincidence that acts from that agency always feature heavily.

I’d love to see her back, was such a shame to see such a small crowd for her set in 2017

He'd be awesome... an early slot on the Pyramid perhaps?

Great line up this - plenty of 00s rock/indie stuff to get stuck into! 

[CharlotteB]

I heard Martha Wainwright is touring in June. She'd be a good addition to the Acoustic Stage.
