Ha, that's the least subtle one yet. Putting the full dates, "Jun 22 - 26" and then "tbc". Hmmm, I wonder which of the many events that last from June 22 to June 26 he could be playing?

Thank you for your very helpful reply. Forgive my ignorance about the band - I just know I like them and I particularly like John Martyn's cover of Glory Box. Shame he's gone now.

Anyway, thankfully, I know someone who used to tour with Portishead who, for the benefit of others who may want to know, has explained that Geoff Barrow of Portishead formed a band called Beak. It it is Beak who is performing, not Portishead. Hope that helps.

[beatlemania]

yes, in lucerne it's beak who's performing. oooo and it actually says it "BEAK DATES" :-/

Just listening back to Monday's Hawksbee & Jacobs on Talk Sport and Andy Smart was on, He's going to be at G but then he is most years, he's a funny bugger.

To be fair, it didn't make much sense to announce they were playing with a lineup they're not on.

Only heard good things about DakhaBrakha. They seem to be quite impressive live.

Yeah, fair point. It's not as if the poster is exclusively big acts - Lapsley? Little Simz? They should have taken the Wheel of Four Tunes approach:

Ooh a brass band!! I love a brass band! (I have only had a quick look at their FB page so excuse me if I am wrong)

Shame there weren't more people there

 

Absolutely loving the woman dancing in the silver dress.

A female equivalent of Bez

Has anybody heard anything else about the Stereo MCs? Are they still definitely playing?

[TheBurns]

Saw Davos in the spaceport last year, excellent stuff

They told me they were - 'def' was what they said in a tweet. In fact, they even announced it but got told to take it down because Glasto wanted to make its own announcement. I would imagine they'll do the The Glade again.

Ok, thanks. That's great news! Really hoping to catch them.

Posted this in a different thread, but this ace Ukranian folk band DakhaBraka have announced themselves for the 24th. Getting quite into this video  – could be good early afternoon West Holts vibes…

Saw  DakhaBraka  do an acoustic set and then join Kimmo Pohjonen for his show, very much enjoyed both sets, good stuff.

Just found out about this too.  I have seen DakhaBrakha several times at festivals.  They are unmissable.  Highly recommended!!!  Am really happy about this news, because this band can be difficult to catch.
