Glastonbury rumour round-up

We now have 128 performances confirmed by performers, as well as loads we're pretty sure on ... who needs to wait until 30th May? :-)

Friday
The kings of cowpunk Pronghorn get listed first this week, as we're told you can see them on Friday morning (Thursday night) at 1.00am in Lost Vagueness, as well as at other times on the Dance/Variety/Fire Stage.

The slightly ecentric Julian Cope will play the Acoustic Tent according to his website, as will Rodrigo y Gabriela at about 2.45pm according to theirs. The Frames will be on at around 5.45pm according to their recent newsletter.

In published tourdates: Athlete, Caesars, Beth Orton (on the Other Stage?) and De La Soul (on the One World Stage?).

The Bays' website says they're playing The Lost Stage (which is the replacement for The Glade stage).


Saturday
The Burn will play the Other Stage according to their press agents.

Kila will play according to their website.


Sunday
Blackalicious are playing according to their website.

Slovo's website says they'll play, as does the website of The Star Spangles.


Other News
A much larger Left Field Tent has confirmed some of it's events, and participants including Tony Benn with his musical accomplice Roy Bailey, Billy Bragg, Mark Thomas, Jeremy Hardy and Mark Steel. It's also hoped that Michael Moore will inject some serious agitation. See all the details here.

Greg from Dreadzone has posted that he has a dj set confirmed.

Radio 4's The Archers is to be recorded live from the Festival, to feature in two episodes to be broadcast during the Festival. The storyline is not about the Festival itself, but about some of the characters that are going. Five years ago the radio soap was also at the Festival, when Kate Aldridge gave birth to baby Phoebe in a teepee.

Personally, I can't wait to see two-hit superstar John Otway, who's been in touch to tell us that he'll be on the Cabaret Stage from 2pm 'til 3pm each day, and with his Big Band on the Dance Variety and Fire Stage at 7pm on Sunday. He says he's also on the Green Room Caberet Stage on Friday (time to be confirmed) ... this must be a new stage!

Sharon Shannon's website says her acoustic tour is going to Glastonbury, so we guess that's in the Acoustic Tent.

It says they'll play in the The Zutons email newsletter.

We're told that comedienne Susan Murray is playing the Cabaret Tent.
