Anyone seen this?

Nope. Played the Saturday. Must have been Lionel on the Sunday.

It was indeed, just checked. Good shout.

Still plenty to come mind. We'll get something to soothe our souls.

It's the only way I can fault it really. A Burt Bacharach. A John Fogerty. An Art Garfunkel. A Patti Smith or an Iggy Pop.

At least 2 of those - Burt and John - were booked really late on and so wouldn't have made the cut for a poster this morning.

Burt wasn't on the initial poster due to the late booking, and while John was in the days when the lineup came out 4 weeks beforehand, he ended up playing way lower than sounds credible due to everywhere being full - second from top on the Jazz World.

No Specials and no Isley Brothers is a mild pisser, aye.

No Brass Against is a big pisser

Isleys bit the dust a while back. They rearranged their tour for 2021 but then it got canned again for good.

Was kind of hoping for an out of leftfield surprise like Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight or RightBazza II who're all in the mix in the UK over G Weekend.

Feels like the complete surprise act was missing this year, no Katy Perry type act.

I know this is just 80 acts but thought Rag n Bone man would be on the first poster.

* apologies if this has been said already

[ghandi]

Agreed on Michael Kiwinaku as well, surely will be there

Does the lack of surprises just mean we’re getting better at this? There was barely a single name on that poster that hadn’t already been analysed and discussed to death.

Why does everyone keep saying dab down? I feel like I'm missing out!

I'm way to old to be saying ' dab down' , don't even know what it means!!

Probably yeah!

Lots of people here seem to have insider knowledge these days, so between that and piecing things together through tour dates maybe the days of the "out of nowhere" act are gone?

Lorde, Megan, Doja Cat arguably all a bit out of left field - but I know what you mean. No jawdroppers.

keep in mind it was made much easier this year by the festival saying they had rebooked a lot of acts booked for 2020

I think most people expected Lorde given her dates.

Back to missing acts… one act who I was hoping to see on the poster, but still has a decent shout of turning up, is Parquet Courts.

agreed - i missed them at APE with The Strokes in 2019 because i couldn't get there early enough. bet they are great fun live

Would any of them have made the poster do you reckon? No great surprise not to see them listed (no offence @admscott😄)

I'm on the poster. It's just that the text is the same colour as the background. Stupid design decision, imo.

Snow Patrol, had expected them .

Biggest omission not yet mentioned and touring

The Kooks - hook that landfill indie straight into my veins, I’d go very silly to Naive

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

They might be playing one of the glamping campsites outside the fence?
