As an Easter weekend bonus we can confirm that the Swedish Air Force will attend the 2017 Air Tattoo!
Returning to display at the show this July will be a solo Saab JAS 39C Gripen, the primary fighter flown by the Swedish Air Force, plus a 'D' variant which will be available for a closer inspection in the static park.
The Gripen is a relatively small, lightweight machine by modern standards, but a rugged, effective and highly agile one. Its take-off and landing performance allow operation from shorter runways than many rivals; this is a consequence of the demanding original requirements from Sweden with the Swedish Air Force the largest operator of the JAS 39.

From the RIAT website:

Today features a massive update of static and flying aircraft! The update includes a varied mix of civilian types; Hangar 11's P-40 and P-51D both flying, Jet Aerobatics' Jet Provost Mk5 on static and for the first time at the Air Tattoo, Affinity Flying Services Grob 120TP, T-6C Texan and Phenom 100; all part of the new RAF flying training contract, boosting the static display. Elsewhere, the Dutch return with statics; the KDC-10 tanker, C-130H and Dornier Do-228 and Slovenia brings back its PC-9M into the flying display. The British contingent receives a big boost with Army Air Corps Apache in the flying display, Defender 4000 and Wildcat on static; RAF Viking, Vigilant, Puma and Tucano in the static park; and last, but no least, the Royal Navy confirms a Merlin HC3/3A, Wildcat HMA.2, Sea King ASaC.7, Hawk T.1 and Avenger T.1...
