According to his website Simple Kid will be playing. We think this will be on the Other Stage, in a slot we'd previously been tipped would have "Little Kid" (anyone know of a band called Little Kid? We can't find one).

Just Jack will be in the Dance Tent according to a very reliable source.

The Acoustic Tent will see both Cerys Matthews, and Richard Thompson (not appearing together!) according to their websites.
