Discovered acts from the line up you’ve never heard before

[Splonk]

Not on the first poster, but W.H. Lung have confirmed they'll be there.

Baskery sound really cool. And that Paul McCartney fella has some bangers. If he plays it right, he could be huge one day!

Baskery, been listening to them as well. Songs such as shadow and rock and roll are decent tunes. For a bit of quite relaxing Avalon music Kate Rusby has a great voice

Yeah, love Kate. Barnsley lass. She has her own festival, Underneath the Stars (named after her song). Never been, but it's on my to do list.

Rap is obviously bigger than ever but honestly the 'fun' hip hop is the best stuff

Unfortunately they’re likely headliners. I do love them but I’ll not be wasting a headliner to see them - would be perfect in the sun.

I saw them open West Holts a few years ago. It was drizzling and foggy. The band are from Texas and the singer kept saying how pleased he was to be in the rain at Glastonbury. It wasn't heavy rain and it was quite atmospheric. Liked it so much that I bought the CD immediately afterwards.

[Wanderlei]

Ward Thomas are pretty cool, too. Been listening to them a bit today 👍

[Watergirl]

Listening to Leon Bridges.  Somehow never came across him before.  Amazing.

[GeezLouise]

Been listening to Giant Swan today and yesterday. ABSOLUTELY BANGING.

[Billy Corgan's Ego]

Another vote for Khruangbin. I've listened to them so much over the last few weeks that they have went from a complete  unknown (how!?!) to the very top of my list of unmissable's. Meteoric rise!!

Shout out's to Leon Bridges & Big Thief, too

I discovered Peat and Diesel yesterday and have been rinsing their two albums (plus live album) since:

 

Good for a bit of an Avalon sing a long. Much better imo are Alestorm, another Scottish band, an XXrated version of p and d with songs such as F##ked with an anchor!

Not so keen on Alestrom, tbh. They're a wee bit metal for my tastes, although I don't mind a bit of The Massacre Cave from Eigg.

Not forgetting this belter

Yes, Fannybaws is a classic and has deeper meaning in the lyrics than the heavy metal sea shanty f##cked with an anchor.

That's true, it's quite subtle critique of the social structure of the early modern age which lead to folk like Fannybaws into a life a piracy. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

If anything, Fannybaws himself is a victim of society. His threats to pump yer maw are cries for help.

BM are worth catching live just to watch the drummer. One of the best in the business. 

Gave Black Midi a go after the guest on the latest GlastoCast pod raved about them. Not my bag at all.

Mitski and Phoebe Bridgers are the two i've really picked up on since the initial poster dropped.

And the subtlety of pump yer maw rather than the crass Americanism of mother f##ker is writing worthy ofThe great bard Burns himself. 

[LinvoyPrimus]

Warmduscher. Just sounds/looks like it would be a major vibe.

What a blast form the past! I thought this was the greatest song of all time when I was a kid, listening to it over and over on some old Now cassette.

The Spotify playlist is introducing me to acts that I would never have gone searching for. 
 

The latest one is Brass Against. Rage Against The Machine covers with brass instruments.
 

It is as mad and wonderful as you can imagine.

Just discovered them yesterday myself. Proper 'wtf am I listening to?' moment, in a good way!

I've never even heard of these but they are my favourite band of all time and I am looking forward to rescheduling everything to see them on the farm.

Jessie Ware is very good. Not sure why I'd never listened to her earlier.

Just stand outside of the splash zone when they perform.

I happened to be in Manchester at a Tool gig and they are supporting.   Keen to try and work out which stage they maybe on!  They will be good all rounders!
