West Holts 2020

[Amy Lawn]

Do OMD have other bops on the same level as Enola Gay? That's the only one I know, but it's the greatest song of all time.

Aye - he shouldn't have to go that route, but Erasure still shift tickets. They sold out the Usher Hall and the Corn Exchange last couple of times they came through town.

Banarama at the Avalon was a definite step down from the early Pyramid slot they'd probably have had if Siobhan was still in the band.

Yeah it depends what's happening next summer if it's Erasure they could hit up West Holts or Pyramid early doors if it's Erasure's Andy Bell then that's Avalon or Acoustic territory.

Andy Bell The Voice Of Erasure arriving 40 minutes late onstage in the Acoustic Tent and banjaxing Hawkwind several hours later.

I'll see yer OMD and raise you:

 

I was going to suggest them for the legend slot but I'd take them on West Holts instead. Hugely entertaining live.

Probably just me, but have a massive soft spot for this one

 

[Amy Lawn]

I'm not taken in by the song by fuck me I have got so much time for that video 

[Quark]

Yay the 90s!!

[Crazyfool01]

OMG OMD  

[CaledonianGonzo]

Has anyone caught Ernie Isley and the lads in recent years to know how their shows stack up?

[Quark]

Working at home so taking the chance to play through some of the bands I've discovered either at Glastonbury or on these boards.  Massive long shot but......what chance The Congos making a return? They were an absolutely perfect Sunday afternoon act in 2013. Still active, playing Nomade Festival in France this year, and would be a welcome return to some decent reggae on the main stages.

Increasingly feeling like a chump for missing Sampa last month

Would Alicia Keys be too big? Just think she would nail a WH slot.

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Friday night headliner. I've heard rumours before but think Childish Gambino would be amazing. Perhaps too big for a headline performance on WH?

San Salvador. I saw them on Sunday afternoon at Boomtown

Absolutely incredible. Such a shame only 100 or so watched them. They had been on about 10 mins when we got there. Absolutely mesmeric performance. I knew nothing about them, we were just walking past. Stayed for the whole thing. They'd be brilliant on the West Holts.

Can't really find any evidence that they're touring so this one's quite speculative, but I recall Run DMC were supposed to play at Kendal Calling last year. Anyone know what their situation is? Is it a bit of a stretch to question whether they could appear at the farm?

[FuzzyDunlop]

Salt n Pepa were top on Sunday. They should be on the farm.

As soon as I saw them on the bill I knew they would drop out. That was a really weak lineup. 

[Matt42]

Gonna be optimistic and say Erykah Badu, Orbital and BLACKPINK for 2020

[The Nal]

This needs to happen

 

[Cooperman83]

Can we get Jeff Goldblum back please?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Been listening to this album this week which strikes me as a good shout for an early slot on WH.

Welsh language Tropicalia by the dude off of Colorama, recorded in Rio with a bunch of crack samba sessioneers.

Way too big IMO, though that would be great.

BS2000 would be pretty sweet
