Skunk Annfield rescheduled for June. Friday is Leeds. Saturday is Bristol. Sunday is a gap. Practically a self confirm....

Was just coming in to post the same thing!

[Suprefan]

Yeah, it fits perfectly fine. Theyre doing 3 gigs in a row and taking days off so its not that odd. Plus Bristol is barely an hours drive to the festival site. Totally locked on.

They had them on the Other Stage playlist that they released. Hard to place a time in my mind, maybe third down?  Not at headliner size these days, and they don't fit the opener vibe for me.  Other sub at a push.

I see them playing pretty early, about 14.00ish.

Around the time Dropkick Murphys played.

I dunno, they've got more relevance (?) in the UK market than DMs.  General structure of OS on most days in "heritage" opener, relative unknowns / up and comers early doors, better known and flavour of the moment later in the day.

Third down I reckon.

Eh, they’re a bit of a novelty booking, booked this year purely because they inexplicably headlined the thing once upon a time. Really can’t see them bothering the upper reaches of the Other Stage - second or third from the bottom I’d say.

[Quark]

I concede I may be biased as I love SA. But I wouldn't necessarily call them novelty; they've been touring and releasing without really troubling the pop charts. We'll see I guess!

[Gnomicide]

They co-headlined Bearded Theory with Slaves a few years back. That doesn't really help though as Slaves were on Tge Other earlier than you'd expect.

I may be doing them a huge disservice but I just don’t see them as big enough to get anywhere near the upper echelons of the Other.

Are Skunk Anansie bigger than Slaves could be the new Foals vs 1975.

Yeah, but what about The Strokes and Arcade Fire?

I'd agree with this. They're one of those bands where I've seen the name around a lot but never knowingly listened to them or heard anyone talk about them.

Obviously that's all anecdotal so probably not a fair reflection but it's still surprise me to see them high up.

I’m only really here for this kind of talk these days

Considering nobody has debated that in such a long time that’s it’s a tired meme, we definitely need a new one.

And if there's one thing this place can say it's known for, it's knowing when to stop flogging a tired gag...

Skunk Anansie is a Weak booking.

Your jokes are bad and you should feel bad.

[priest17]

Skunk Anansie aren't big enough to open the other stage never mind close it.

If they had a second song I'd attempt second pun.

They played in 2017, were third from bottom on the other sunday, after slaves and deaf havana was  great fun.
