[CaledonianGonzo]

So you'd have to suppose that the Isleys are one of the headliners.

I wouldn't rule out Pyramid afternoon, but that might just be wishful thinking given that headliner time might well be a clash-tastrophe.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Would definitely suit me.

Has Omar Souleyman played Glastonbury recently? Really enjoyed him at Blue Dot this year, be great on WH.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I think it'll be 9 years since he played

Just been to see Quantic in Leeds and it was the best I've ever seen him. Crowd, venue, and obviously the band absolutely amazing. 

New songs sound great, and still reps the older tunes. Has to be a lock for one day. 

Off to see him in Bristol on Friday. Wondering how the new album will sound live. Very much looking forward to it

Seeing him tomorrow, good to hear such a positive review, I wasn't sure whether he was playing with a full band or not.

If The Specials and The Isley Brothers are 2 of the 3 then there's the real possibility of the WOAT weekend of clashes.

That was a great set.

Saw him at Boomtown 2018 too. He was brilliant.

[Jeremy Irons]

Would love to see KOKOKO! somewhere on the WH line up! I believe they are touring?

Hoping for Greentea Peng. And plenty of Mr Sun!

Heard that track on the 6Music Recommends playlist this morning. Like it a lot

Great new album from him a few weeks ago - here is a taste

If the bass in a tune is shite, you don't always notice, you just hear a shite tune.

When the bass is centre stage, done well, then all is very well in the world indeed.

How about Gwen McCrae?

Somerset, West Holts, needs an Italian Monster.

Mario Biondi (& Cheryl Porter, not Italian, or a monster but fluent in Italian)

Where are we at currently with our West Holts headliner predictions

? vs 1975 vs Kendrick Friday

? vs Dua vs Macca Saturday
Thom Yorke? vs Noel vs Taytay on the Sunday

 

Who else do we have in the mixer? Something like Kano, Kraftwork, Satana, Earth Wind & Fire?

Kano for The Park I reckon. It’s gonna be Thom Yorke, an urban act and a heritage act.

Only The Park or John Peel can save me now ?

Kano did Park last time he played, reckon WH sub for him.

Why can’t artists play the same stages?

Because it rings of dull booking. Acts tend to gravitate from stage to stage between appearances at the festival lest it all becomes a bit samey year on year, bar acts like Chemical Brothers who’s rightful place is topping Other.

If they were booked 2 years on the spin I’d agree can’t have an act playing same slot 2 years running, 3 years difference? Definitely can play the same slot. Could potentially even fall down the pecking order on the same stage in that time. DJ Shadow, headlined John Peel a while ago, 2017 he’s playing 3rd form the top. Doesn’t make a blind of difference where artists play the festival is still booking them.

Is there reason to think Thom, if playing, is on the Sunday?

None at all - just wishful thinking on people’s part.
