West Holts

[LondonTom]

As per the Self Confirmed thread, Songhoy Blues have thrown their own name into the hat.

Very good! Discovered them the other week, I am going to guess on Sir Robins spoitfy playlist and couldn't stop listening to them!

[DJL]

This not knowing what the fuck is going on is brilliant, going to be like Christmas morning when the lineup is released

Definitely. The fact they i have zero interest in the three big acts announced so far makes me feel there will be some great stuff elsewhere on the line-up.

[morph100]

I'd say much more has been impressed onto bookers and the acts they've booked, to not go revealing anything this year.

Yep this is very much true

[matt2007]

Billy Ocean is doing loads of shows in the UK over the summer, good Sunday type set..

Great! Its going to be a quality West Holts year. I can feel it in my bones.

[Jakkkkobz]

Kendrick Lemar's new album makes me think he would be a good West Holts headliner, is he too big now and could only be on Pyra or Other?

[giantkatestacks]

Billy Ocean was such a surprise at Hop Farm. Genuinely feel good infectious set.

[Boopickledaddy]

Not seen any of these acts yet and would love to see a few of them on the West Holts stage this year-

Jimmy Cliff

William Bell

Rachael Saadiq

Dr John

Black Joe Lewis

The Family Stone

[ghandi]

Don't West Holts usually release their line up before the main line up? Seem to remember they did last year?

[JoeyT]

Wasn't that in 2013? I think the dance tents did the same didn't they?

Someone does have a handy list of dates of when info was released in previous years but I can't recall which thread it's in!

[theboytaff]

I loved the facebook feed from West Holts last year. The headliner clues were great fun. Even bagged a cheeky bet with some mates that it was Roxy Music (Bryan Ferry, but mere details....)

WH stage is now all booked up, 24 bands from 15 countries, exciting!

That will be today's announcement!

Excellent, an announcement immenent surely/

[Mezhyp1]

They said on their FB page the date hasn't been set for the announcement, but we won't have long to wait apparently

Good news! They are normally the first stage to announce first, closely followed a week or so later by the full line up, not long now

[marcoolio]

Sadly, Fat Freddy's Drop cancelled their entire European tour, including their Down The Rabbit Hole appearance (which is the same weekend as Glastonbury), reportedly to work on a new album.

I think this only ever happened once about 3 or 4 years ago. Last year their announcement was at the same time as the rest of the fest.

Damn ! oh well, we'll have to wait a little longer, no rumours coming out of that stage though is there? If they were fully booked you'd have thought something might leak.

[CaledonianGonzo]

There are rumours in the sense thgat several likely candidates are playing elsewhere in the UK at the same sort of time - or in the case of artists weho've self confirmed and would be a decent fit for the stage.

[ForgotBloodyUsername]

Anyone know if there's anything in the Dave Gilmour, Sunday night rumour that I keep seeing on Facebook?

[CaledonianGonzo]

At.....West Holts?

[ForgotBloodyUsername]

Yeah ... seen it twice now.

[Jakkkkobz]

24 bands from 15 countries they say in the comments

[Avalon_Fields]

The West Holts tweet today was brilliant:

''Bacchanalian scene at WH HQ as the stage line-up is finally completed''....accompanying photo a cup of tea and a biscuit!
