Mcbee88 · 25-06-2017 08:50PM

Really enjoyed Barry and Shaggy!! Actually really enjoying the Killers on the john peel stage now too, they're putting on a great show

Mike Guide 69 · 25-06-2017 08:51PM

The Killers putting on an impressive performance on the special guests slot at Glastonbury, and their schedule is empty during September!!!!!

Main stage sub-headliner or Electric Arena headliner I reckon. They've headlined Coachella & other fests in the past. Not as big now but still a fair draw.

If they play EA and clash with ATCQ, the main stage will probably have one of its smallest crowds ever for a headliner.

As right too bad, not a big main stage fan; hopefully EA would be ideal.
My list has improved from the initial look at the line-up..

Phoenix
A Tribe Called Quest
Krept & Konan
Rejjie Snow
Mura Masa
Pete Tong
Hannah Wants
Annie Mac
Madness

(then my usual extras)
Attention Bebe
bit of Casa Bacardi & Heineken tent
Smash Hits
Mother DJs

i think this festival is going to turn out alright in the end

any other suggestions based on above acts to check out?

Listened to some Jagwar Ma earlier, will go with the yellow highlighter for them on my clashfinder printout, pink = must see, yellow = will go if not clashing with a pink.
By Sunday I'll be colour blind anyway.

Synode · 25-06-2017 10:19PM

Wish Mother DJs played the Friday or Saturday night. Am always in a hoop by the time they play the Sunday

Aw no I love them closing out Sunday night. Makes me less sad that the wkend is over with them closing them out

Poorside · 25-06-2017 10:36PM

Sheeran is having a bit of a shocker, never liked him anyway but he's hitting bum notes and making a mess of classic songs, really can't see how he's up there.

Every year it's the same, clashfinder printed out, laminated and highlighted ruthlessly....by Saturday I've it lost and never paid any heed to it Friday anyway!

i thought they played a few different sets over the weekend, or maybe its listed differently as just one of the members playing under their own name?

Guitar tuning is terrible anyway.

I'm only watching as a soporific - Justice and Metronomy sets will be watched when I haven't to get up early

What! I'm no Sheeran fan but he's putting on a great show. No live singer ever gets it perfect. In fact I'd say that Sheeran is doing better than most live singers could ever dream of

not his fault he's so popular

endainoz · 25-06-2017 11:06PM

Have to hand it too him tho, to be able command a stage like that with just an acoustic guitar and a loop pedal is impressive.

Also great to see beoga a spot on the main stage, playing Irish trad like! A great band guaranteed to have a brilliant show at the picnic. There's a lot more to them than just that friggen Galway Girl song!

Don't laminate it, so it's normally goosed because it's been in my back pocket when I sat on a wet bench/patch,

Your right, various different mother djs play in Bacardi bar, sound atlas and I think that just eat place. Always try and catch Ruth and ghostboy and Kelly Anne Byrne in the afternoons. Just brilliant

Synode · 26-06-2017 08:16AM

Think it's ghostboy that closes on the Sunday. It's always excellent

GidCudi · 26-06-2017 09:18AM

Can we expect the drippings of news throughout July like last year (think I remember something being announced every Friday??)

Theatre of Food might bring Foo Fighters
