[Amy Lawn]

DakhaBrakha is great news, never seen them before so I'm quite looking forward to it.

[The life of Pablo]

Went to see Isaac Gracie last night at Tynemouth, managed to find out he's definitely playing Glastonbury! 19:40, BBC introducing stage on the Saturday.

Good work!

Harry Koisser, lead singer of the band Peace has just tweeted 

"Can't wait for first Glasto since I got snapchat"

No idea if he's self confirming Peace, or if he's just gonna be kicking around taking pictures and putting filters on them....

 

 

[SwedgeAntilles]

Peace played a couple of times last year, would be surprised if they were back already 

[dentalplan]

Yeah they have no tour dates or anything so he's probably just there as a punter.

[Gnomicide]

Snapchat will make his festival SO much more exciting. 

[Mezhyp1]

Hopefully he manages to catch footage of someone punching him hard in the face

Did he make a move on your missus or something? I have absolutely no idea who he is, had hre done something really bad?

[CaledonianGonzo]

"Bloke from Peace has a new snapchat filter" now edging out the deaths of Bowie and Prince as the most poignant music story of the year.

[Gnomicide]

This is MASSIVE!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Hold up, Beyonce! Get back in the pool, Radiohead!  Stop building walls, lads...

And so on and so forth.

My very little personal experience of Peace leads me to think he's a c**t, it's nothing personal, he might be a nice bloke (unlikely) 

[Cian T]

Unsure if mentioned anywhere else (I remember it being mentioned that they've been asked) but anyway..

Biggles Wartime Band are definitely back this year and I am very happy

 

[eFestivals]

"Announcing the 1000 WATTS TOUR! 

After a successful Tropical Elevation tour in America, Canada, the UK and Europe, Quantic is ready to bring some tropical reggae-roots and dub-infused rhythms to his live set. This time, there will be a heavy nod to the new "Quantic Presenta Flowering Inferno release: 1000 Watts" and special guests Christopher Ellis & Nidia Gongora! More guests to be announced. 

Tickets on sale now!"

Awesome! Another for the must see list. Starting to get concerned that there might be some clashes now

[CaledonianGonzo]

Was thinking he might show, though wasn't sure in which sort of form.  Nidia Gongora's great

 

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

Excellent news about Quantic 

Will get him on the playlist pronto.

EDIT: Not enjoying the dub stuff as much as his previous output, I must confess.

I'm guessing that Quantic is the act I was told about for WH who'd have reggae as part of the set.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The album he'll be touring isn't out for a few weeks yet, but the previous Flowering Inferno stuff exists in the sort of sweet spot where reggae meets other tropical rhythms.

 

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

He's released a track from the new album:

And you can listen to 2 minutes of each track from it here:

i saw the mention of u-roy in the vid title, and immediately ordered my ears to listen.

And I'm glad I did, at just a minute in....

edit: absolutely blindin' track .... can't find the album to pre-order tho .... can't wait to hear this live.

Lovin' it! Thanks goodness there's at least one reggae act on WH, Music & venue & cider best of combinations, as in previous years with Steel Pulse, Jimmy Cliff, the Wailers, Eddie Grant, Toots & The Maytals...

Great news about Quantic, they've been on my list of 'bands I need to see' for a while now.

Oh, and in defence of that bloke from Peace, he's been quite outspoken about people not groping girls at gigs. The music may be terrible, but he's at least used his voice for some good.
