Really regret never seeing them before Gerard Love (and his songs) left. Would love to see them pop up at Glasto though.

[NorthernSoul52]

One can hope!

Gerry Love's started doing solo shows again. Saw him live in December and it was great.

Looking forward to hearing the Mumfords echoing the pre war blues sounds of Charley Patton and the Mississippi Sheiks.

Wow Lorde?? That's a great and very left-field choice amongst this year's festival crop. Looks like her first one announced of the year, too. With her and Florence that's a great line-up.

[NorthernSoul52]

Two female headliners. Frankly, that's terrific.

Lorde is one of those who could find a way through to bigger slots down the line through either restored commercial success or something of a cult favourite path.

Helluva lot of 90s and 2000s revival going on atm.

Gotta hammer that millennial nostalgia factor…

This will look like the N Dubz tour in a week or two no doubt

Busted announcing something soon too I think, of course they are the true GOATs and are hopefully back on the farm for their 20th anniversary after smashing it last time

To be fair to Busted, they actually put out new music when they reformed rather than just cash in on the hits. And the first new album Night Driver is surprisingly good. The one after was a bit too early 2000s pop punk though.

I swear they did a nostalgia-fueled 'hits' tour in like 2021. Do they really have the fanbase to sell out arenas again?

Cribs, Spector and others at Tiffcuff- a new 1-day festival at the Roundhouse, Sept 2nd

More names for Sirens Call in Luxembourg on the Saturday of the festival. Does that rule out Japanese Breakfast?

No idea of their availability but I would love the Cribs to be added to Glasto's line up

Was under the impression Blur would have the same bill both days but apparently not.

Paul Weller leads the Sunday line-up.

I like the fact they have clarified Steve Davis is djing in case anyone thought he was going to give a snooker exhibition

[Zoo Music Girl]

As Davis is active it'd be great to get him back on the farm.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Turns up most years now doesn't he?

[The Nal]

The crowd for his Stonebridge gig in 16 was biblical. 

Reading Barry Hearns book at the mo. The thoughts of late 70s Nugget being an electro DJ 40 years later is wild.

I'm pretty sure it's every year since he started doing the novelty DJ thing. I'd assume like many others it's a free ticket / not bothered about the fee thing.

I for one would love a snooker exhibition.
