I've seen them a few times, never seen them not play it to be honest!

Well, that’s a relief!

Think you are pretty much guaranteed Gorecki and Trans Fatty Acid in every set (I used to love the K&D remix of that, but have drifted back towards the original nowadays) .

To someone of my vintage a tank top is the height of fashion. And followers of the Doonicans must have a hatred of posh folk who use the word jus instead of gravy. 

Ah Yes the Tank top I didn't want to mention those words

Excellent! Looked them up on Setlist Fm and it looks like those 2 songs usually close out the encore. Barring some hideous clash, or incapacitation, will defo be there.

It was Vampire Weekend on the Pyramid. It was keen to see Bananarama, but not at the expense of missing VW. 

Do you know something - I'm not sure if I should admit this, I was at Albert Hammond - I had heard how great he was live and when I heard Free Electric Band on the playlist I thought "I want to hear that live".  And he was bloody good too!

Hope they play this. I guess it's always going to be a staple.

Yes, Lamb do play Gorecki live, setlist.fm have it as their most played song ever and joint most in 2019 (last time they toured): https://www.setlist.fm/stats/lamb-3bd6b090.html?year=2019

You can listen to the songs most often played live by all the acts playing the festival right here.

Most played ever? Well, that rebuffed my poor memory soundly! 🙃

Thinking Reef maybe opening up somewhere?

I'd be happy to see Reef somewhere. Didn't they play Avalon in 2019?

Yeah headlined Avalon Sunday and they clashed with the Cure so I never got to see them 

can’t see them not being there this year, so my guess is either early slot on a bigger stage or Hell stage (which seems more likely to me given the sound of the new stuff)

I didn't go in 2019 but I remember there were 3 headline bands on the Sunday I wanted to see including Reef and the Cure. I'd expect they would be there somewhere.

I saw Reef at Bearded Theory - they were great!

And me.  Great to see bands that love playing and just feed the buzz.

I went to see Fontaines DC in the Czech Republic the other week.  Great gig(s) but cant remember any crowd conversation other than a cursory "hello".  Never understand that approach.

Give me a ridiculously over emotional Joe Talbot any day of the week.

[s30foster]

I am 100% sold on Molotov Jukebox after listening to 2 songs. Hoping no clashes will take me away from that fun.

[Stu H]

I've missed the feeling of checking out acts on Spotify etc after the line up comes out and finding a gem or two.

Yes I love interaction with the crowd - Jeff Lynne was poor when he did the legends slot.  And I went to see Eric Clapton once - never again!  Miserable sod.

Nope didn't see them either!  I didn't look across all the stages so I may have not looked at the stage where whoever I did end up seeing was playing.  Or maybe I was just wilting in a corner of a field somewhere!  

Albert Hammond in the Acoustic? 

Probably not though as criminally there were only about 100 of in there.

Sorry - just saw this. 

He was brilliant wasn't he?Such a shame everyone was elsewhere!

He was great, though I think I was beginning to struggle by that point - a combination of thinking I might as well get through my beer as it was the last day, coupled with too little water so I think I was actually dehydrating (I hadn't had that much beer but it seemed to affect me disproportionately).

So now we know that the two of us were there, together with @Watergirlso I wonder who the other 97 were?

[Ayrshire Chris]

No Skinny  Lister! Thought they would be definitely playing Avalon this year. 

[danbailey80]

I'll be honest I'm gutted there's no Dodgy. Theyve played some amazing sets here over the years. 

Also, an outsider chance, but was hoping to see the wonder stuff and they finish their tour on the Thursday

I did want to see him, the Clashfinder tells me I chose Kamasi Washington instead.

The Wonder Stuff are one of my favourite bands of all time but Miles has told many a tale of how he hates Glastonbury so not thinking they will be there any time soon. Would love them to play though obviously.
