I am in a similar position, asked for Lovely Creatures, his best of, on vinyl for Christmas and am enjoying it.

Thanks, guess I'll start there then ?

By all accounts he's someone I should love, but I've never been exposed to any of his music, and have no idea where to begin. 

Same here. I'm happy to give him plenty of time, but everything I've listened to of his has been total tripe. Obviously he has decades of material so maybe I'm picking the wrong places to start.

So now we can just end any doubt of Christine and the Queens subbing the Pyramid after the Parklife line-up. Headliners there are 3rd/sub depending on who it is equivalent and they are playing at least 2nd down, potentially 3rd.

She’s not even playing the main stage.  Headlining another up against Cardi B

Christine and the queens, I really want to see this year. Tremendous in 2016 even in the rain

Looking at the lineups for the midsize UK festivals that are starting to get relased, what really stands out is the lack of depth. All the money spunked on 3 big name headliners, and a couple of big subs, then a swathe of really really small (and presumably cheap) bands. I guess the only way to survive is to punt all your money on a couple of big names to draw the punters in. Maybe a result of the fierce competition in that sector. 

I'd noticed that too - seeing how far down the line up I had to go before I didn't recognise anyone (though that may be me getting older).

Given the apparent scarcity of 'big' headliners doing the rounds this summer, any agent worth his 15% will be asking for more for the second tier bands who are seeing this year as a chance to top the bills, and the festivals will have to cough up I'd imagine.

I asked that same question to Mrs Yeti.  Apparently, Cardi B is very good on Twitter.

 

Nah, me neither.

Don’t care if she headlines or subs I just want her to play

[BlueDaze]

Saw the wonderful Kate Stables and This is the Kit at the Roundhouse tonight...

i believe they are now off to work on a new album but it would be a bit special if they could fit a late afternoon Park set in this summer..

hehehe, I had exactly the same thought about getting older. But I don't think it's (just) that. Get below the first two lines on most of this years festivals and you're very rapidly into pretty obscure bands, or local bands or very new bands.

Not neccesarily a bad thing, but yeah, it's going to be a tough year for a lot of festivals to shift tickets, I think.

Fully agree with the above.

Glastonbury will no doubt have a few acts that came from nowhere. Not mentioned or seemingly touring, but play.

From the top of my head, Katy Perry, Motorhead, Burt Bacharach & ZZ Top all fit that bill from the recent past.

The National. That was a big surprise on the 2017 poster. Biffy Clyro too (though they had been mentioned, it was just largely ignored)

Biffy have been playing a few unplugged gigs promoting their album and are playing a few festivals this summer. Just saying!

If ZZ Top was a surprise to you, you obviously weren’t keeping track of the big rolling ZZ Top thread or their January self confirmation.
