If the Flying Machine cafe is asking for people to play it does seem that the ‘cafe stage’ is no longer officially programmed and that the Avalon Cafe has been axed rather than ‘’changing things up’. Pure speculation but I assume this saves a little slice of the Festivals budget. I’m a little sad to be honest. 

Avalon Stage and Avalon Cafe were programmed by different people anyway.

Bananarama was way later than Kylie - we stumbled over to Avalon after Kylie to see the Blue Aeroplanes and then found ourselves front and centre for the bananas by accident!

That was a great 1 - 2, both bands were fantastic.

I don't know, I don't think there's space for all those acts on the main Avalon stage (unless it's running Thursday or something) so it's likely some are playing the Cafe, but they'll be looking to fill the rest of the line-up with acts already there?

Way better than the main poster for me.

In 2019 they had the same number (25) of acts on the poster, and had 26 slots on the main Avalon Stage.

I didn't bother to cross reference to confirm whether they all matched.

Fantastic lineup!!

Saw Nick Mulvey open the Pyramid Stage to one man and a dog way back when he was touring his first album. Not sure why it never happened for him but good to see that he’s still kicking about. 

He used to play Chai Wallahs cafe ages ago. He would play solo and play with Portico Quartet every day. Looking forward to seeing him again.

Fields of Avalon? Can’t stand the place myself….

….but I guess I’ll be back to see Hobo Jones for the 3,000th time.

Through the years I’ve particularly enjoyed discovering artists from way before I was into music, like The Zombies & Lulu, so I reckon I’ll need to see PP Arnold.

Yeah, it's all a bit gentle and swaying along isn't it?  I'm not a party animal but it all sounds a bit "music to listen to at home with a glass of wine" rather than at a festival.  

But, I haven't listened to it all yet and at least I'll know where to go if I want a sway!

Excited for Lamb and hope they don't clash too hard with anyone I was hoping to catch.  Had a memorably joyous tearful moment in 2009 when they played.  It was my first time back on the farm, I had a cider in one hand, a spliff in the other and a new friend by my side who'd become my glastonbury buddy that year.  The sun was shining and I was as happy as any moment in my life.

Happy to see John Cooper Clark on there, will hopefully catch him, clashes/time/day depending.

Need to get Kristian Nairn to do a DJ set following on from her. 

I couldn't believe how good a DJ he is.  Proper using the turntable as an instrument, not just sticking tunes on and a bit of beat matching.

The Damned may take issue with that...

A lot of complaints about John Cooper Clarke being transphobic, so i wonder if that slot gets pulled

What exactly has he said?

Ferris & Sylvester can be added to the Sunday lineup

[glimmers_of_hope]

Saw ferris and sylvester on Sunday as support for mystery jets. They were quite sweet, bluesy riff duo. 

[Ayrshire Chris]

Was hoping to see a return for the bar steward sons of Val Doonican, but more than quite a few decent acts here. Clashes elsewhere will dictate who we see.

Just got them on the playlist - they haven't blown me away but I'll give them time.

They do rather stand out from the others so far as a bit outside the genre.
