Below are the latest rumours and self confirmations, as used by not-so-good major music publications (hi Alan!) - and some less major ones, and even a few TV programmes, all of whom who can't be bothered to do their own research.

Friday
According to their record company website, X-Press 2 will play the Dance Tent.

According to their record company website, Plump DJs will play, we think in the Dance Tent.

According to published tour dates, Chuck Prophet will appear.

The Cooper Temple Clause will play the Other Stage at about 5pm according to their website.

According to the Nigel Shaw website, Riven will play the Croissant Neuf tent on Friday night.


Saturday
We've had information that the Dance Tent may feature a 10th birthday bash for label Wall of Sound's DJ's and bands.

Love with Arthur Lee - who confirmed themselves a while back - will be playing with a full orchestra and special guest according to an emailing.


Sunday
The Streets will play on Sunday according to their website, we think on the One World Stage.

Damien Rice's website has confirmed his appearance. Although no day or stage information is given, we believe he will be on the Other Stage.

According to information received, Hope Of The States will play on Sunday.

Afro Celts have confirmed themselves on their website.


Other news
A few bands for the Avalon field have been confirmed (although with no day info): System 7, Ozric Tentacles, The Damned, Temple of Sound, and Tony Allen. We know that The Damned are the last act for the Avalon Stage on Saturday, and System 7 will follow Ozric Tentacles to close on Sunday.

The Radio 1 website confirms that DJ Seb Fontaine will be at Glastonbury 27-29th June.

On the message board of their website, Lemon Jelly say they'll definitely appear.

The website www.foreverdelayed.org.uk says that the Manic Street Preachers are set to appear. Will Billy Bragg piss in their portaloo again, and will it piss them off just as much as last time?
