Would imagine Steve Winwood will join them then - has the Friday free in the UK.

Is Winwood not playing Glastonbury that day mate?

[Wooderson]

I think he's doing the Saturday though, isn't he? Chic are doing the Friday.

[Stu H]

Winwood is on the Friday in the acoustic.

Nice one lads - and my apologies Stu.

I only read about three threads on this website now so missed the above.

The Chic - Portishead clash is tearing me apart!

I ended 2011 with Kool and the Gang and it was without a doubt the most fun I've ever had at a gig, and Chic look like they're gonna hit the same level...

...but I have wanted to see Portishead for donkey's years...

Ahhhhhhhh, FREAK OUT!

[fatyeti24]

yep, same here. i've decided to decide about 30 minutes before showtime, see how i'm feeling when the time comes.

[Trebor]

I must be the only person on here who felt let down by Kool and the Gang. Maybe it was that they didn't play much early stuff, or they were just a little bit too cheesy for me, even though I was expecting that to be the case. I went to see QOTSA instead

[Trebor]

Yeah the situation might have had something to do with it. I was on my own as half my mates were at Beyonce and the rest at QOTSA.

Plus I wasn't nearly pissed enough. Can't wait for Chic though!

In fairness if you positioned yourself at the back right of the other stage you could catch the start of portishead then leg it over for the end of chic. It's only a short walk

[Big Vern]

the way I am looking at is this - it's Friday night, the start of the big weekend. Do I want dour Portishead (whom I love) to kick my weekend off, or do I want some disco and pop classics from the legendary Nile Rogers and Chic to get me moving and start the weekend off with a great vibe, good crowd and good old sing song?

No contest

[BlackHole2006]

Getting pretty obsessed with Nile Rodgers now, yesterday night I sat all my friends down and told him how much I was looking forward to his set at Glastonbury and how he literally owned half the 80's and sparked a whole new genre of music (Hip Hop).

I'm not missing this set for anything in the world baby.

[guypjfreak]

this is pretty much how i made my mind up. i'm gonna have more energy on the Friday night (out of the music days, anyway) and i will definitely want to end it in the best of moods, jumping around and dancing my arse off, screaming along to songs and leaving with a giant smile on my face, probably still singing along with the crowd as we leave the stage. Chic will deliver this tenfold

[dirty_dog]

Chic & Nile are down to headline Festival No 6 so I will catch them there.
