Self Confirmed 2016

[JoeyT]

Roll up, Roll up

If you see an act has self confirmed to you directly or via any other means spread the love and share the news..

To start us off as mentioned in another thread:

Not quite a headliner or big act in general but a friend of mine has told me the chap (at least I'm pretty sure he referred to whoever it was as "him") who runs the stages in Shangri la has told his band they have slots at glasto, IOW and Boomtown.

Electro swing band called "The Swingers" for those interested.

One of my favourite threads of the year.  It's one of the first signs of Glasto, the self confirmations beginning!

Yes - was great fun last year, when I had tickets in the bag. Now it's just making me nervous!

The 2014 thread started on 29th Jan so we're ahead of that one.

The same thread continued into the next festival, the first self confirm for 2015 was 26/11/14 so we're behind that!

Saw Hobo Jones & The Junkyard Dogs supporting Gaz Brookfield in Bristol before Christmas. They said "We'll see you next year, maybe at Glastonbury, but we can't talk about that, wink wink" so they will be a shoe-in. Did two sets last year. Gaz most probably there also, both at the Avalon Cafe.

I love this thread - bands I have never heard of self confirming so I rush off to listen to them and then pop back to hope there are more SC's.

It makes it feel  just that little bit closer.

Not 100% confirmation but in a tweet asking whether they will appear in the Crow's Nest again next year (it was Dec they tweeted it), Jagwar Ma replied:

"the odds are high, and just to clarify it would be the 4th year in a row"

Likely a DJ set but sometimes they drop a little of their own stuff in here and there.

That reads to me that Jagwar Ma are saying they WON'T be there, no?

Grimes and ZZ Top looming nailed on, right?

No.  They were correcting the tweeter who thought it would be 3 times in a row.

Ah, makes a bit more sense. But still not that much

Depends how you regard the phrase "the odds are high" - I put it down him not being a seasoned gambler and not knowing the difference between low odds and high odds - I think in this context he is saying it is likely!?

Maybe I am being over optimistic.

Yeah, i dunno, can read it either way, it's a bit like one of those optical illusions, every time i look at it i change my mind

Reads to me as if they should've said 'the chances are high' but got the wording wrong.

Gaz Brookfield posted some festival dates earlier today on Facebook. Didn't include glasto, but there was a gap, and he commented 'these are just the ones I'm allowed to talk about', so it sounds likely. 

[Pinhead]

Yeah, like Hobo Jones won't be there, along with Dreadzone, Attilla, 3DM, Kangaroo Moon....

Out of interest, how many other year on year bands can we all think of?

Otway.

Nik Turner, Pronghorn, and Mik Artistik

Biggles too usually, though I don't know if they will be back this year regrettably...

[Pinhead]

Mik Artistik has surely now graduated to a year on year return artist too.

When asked on twitter what festivals Pretty Vicious would be playing they told me 'all of them' if that's of any interest.

[Gnomicide]

Hattie Hatstar!

[Pinhead]

Ha, yes - was trying to think of her - saw her for first time on greenfield bandstand, think it was Wed afternoon last year.
