Bands that sound like...

[Fearless_Fish]

Hi guys,

Just got my Glasto tickets today totally unexpectedly! Me and the Mrs are totally skint so wrote it off this year, but when the resale popped up today we couldn't resist. I don't really want to think about what's going to do to our finances for the next year...

ANYWAY! I've got to play catch-up now on the lineup, listening to new bands, trying out new stuff - so I could use your expertise!

The bands I'm enjoying at the moment are: Bat for Lashes, Yeasayer, Doves, Elbow, Massive Attack, Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes. What I want to know is, based on the above, what bands are rumoured for Glastonbury this year that I might enjoy?

Also, I thoroughly enjoyed the Jazz Lounge (RIP [[) last year, however I've never really been into jazz - but I know it's popular here! So are there any top jazz musicians rumoured that cut the mustard?

Sorry for such an indulgent post! But hopefully it'll help out people with similar tastes too!

Bat, Doves, Bon, and Fleet are all strongly rumoured or confirmed already. 4/7 isn;t bad. Nice one on grabbing late tickets

Check out robith's Glasto spotify list see thread : * HERE *

It's legal & free and will give you the chance to actually hear artists rumoured or confirmed to play at this years Glasto.

Hope this helps

That's an eclectic list!

As for Bruce, well I aren't a fan, but since he has a 2.5 hour set I may well catch some of it to see what all the fuss is about

Any ideas on jazz, or some of the obscure bands I won't have heard of?

[Fearless_Fish]

No idea!
