West Holts

[WS_Jack_III]

Imelda in the acoustic tent a couple of years ago was fantastic. Was surprised by her vocal range.

yes that was a great gig.

[whisty]

made me think of Senor Coconut (are they still going?)

Maybe up till 2011, wouldn't mind them at all

[Yesiamaduck]

Young Fathers have a new album out soon, the're excellent live, think they'd be good for a daytime spot.

Grace Jones would be diva and glam

This just came into my head... And you beat me to it. I reckon that's a good shout.

What about these, wouldn't take long for them to set up.

Marvellous

did you not see her attrocious performance at Liz's birthday bash (the one put on by Sir Gary of Barlow)?

I'm pretty confident that the West Holts booker doesn't have to get that low in the barrel. If he did, that stage wouldn't have the rep that it does.

[Wooderson]

Grace Jones begged the front row for a toke on a spliff at Electric Picnic a couple years back. Couple hours later she appeared to simulate sex with George Clinton on the main stage. She's good craic that lass.

got this as an ear worm this morning!

J5 playing Dublin on the 17th. Looks likely I'd say.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

yeah they tweeted they wanted to, think they're in negotiations. They're in bristol on the weds - which is quite annoying if they don't play as I would've gone if I weren't at Glasto

Most of the time though, playing Bristol on the Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday before the fest is a big indicator that they'll be there.

Here are the tweets, as I posted about on the J5 thread a while back:

Combined with their other tour dates, surely deserves 'R' or even 'SR' status?

sorted.

[Brave Sir Robin]

sorted.

Excellent - and specifying the Friday too! Not clashing with Arcade Fire or Pixies I hope...

looking at their published dates it's really gotta be Friday or not at all.

I personally wouldn't think they'd be headliner, but what do I know?

Ah yeah, Amsterdam on the Sat

a good choice, strange that West Holts has deleted the "maybe we're toying with you. Treating you mean to keep you keen. Please stay keen, we're needy" - which I thought suggested a diva.

That's from You Can Be The Boss - "You say you treat 'em mean to keep 'em keen – you're not that nice But you taste like the Fourth of July"

Hmm, might we be reading too much into this? The tweet doesn't actually quote that, just uses the same very common phrase "treating you mean to keep you mean".

yeah, that's how I took it.

It might be referring to del rey, but it's too great a stretch to conclude that it definitely is.

Janelle Monae, Beck, NMH, EWF - dudes be dropping off the bill like flies this week.

it's really disheartening to see all of these other festival lineups being so great, and in turn Glastonbury's getting that bit more disappointing (in context of all of these bands we expected / wanted to be there)

[CaledonianGonzo]

But do any of those other festivals have The Klaxons? Eh?

Well then!

[FloorFiller]

Come on filler. You did this last year didn't not and it all turned out ok in the end.

thereof

i actually wasn't very fond of last years lineup but yes yes i know, i just like nitpicking for the sake of it. it's just disheartening to see most of the bands who i was really hoping for dropping off one by one / is making me very curious as to who is actually gonna be on the lineup
