Fishermans Friends are good fun. Were great in 2016. Good day that in there. Patti Griffin, Fishermans Friends, Bootlegs. 

Plus it'll give us somewhere to shelter from the biblical rainfall

Paul and Jaqui played the Acoustic Stage a few years ago. We went about half way through the set (skipping stages to cram stuff in) and got to a decent position easily enough.

 

Great set and Jacqui replied to me on Twitter once saying it was an amazing atmosphere.

I think their stock has risen since then and I am expecting it to be busier. 

I will be heading up handy for a decent speck if the lineup allows it.

Just looked up a Chris Difford setlist from his most recent tour and now I'm also very tempted by that also!

Funnily enough, that was when it was chucking it down on the Sunday in 16. During ELO. 

I was in the empty acoustic tent with some whiskey listening to that lot.

Yeah and i've made her sell tickets for Manchester that we'd bought before we knew she was headlining

I've wanted to see PH&JA for ages too.. ill mull it over.

Whats the likelihood they'll play somewhere else?

They did a couple of songs in BBC Introducing last time but it was one of the secret sets announced at the last minute. Unless someone pulls out on a day or something like that I can't see them doing another one.

Actually some stuff on there I'm tempted by, trying not to just completely rule it out as I usually end up doing.

Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott, Hothouse Flowers, Chris Difford, Fishermans Friends all catching my eye. Gutted that Suzanne Vega is on Sunday night, she's great live but that's not how I see my Sunday night ending!

Quite fancy checking out The Mariachis as well, that could be a giggle 😄

I actually finished my Glastonbury one year with Alison Moyet into Suzanne Vega and it was bloody great. 

Trouble for me with this line up is the stuff I love I have seen multiple times and will clash with others so I suspect they will lose out which is disappointing as I always like a trip to the acoustic tent. Not familiar with a lot of the lower down acts though so will add them to the playlist and hopefully someone will catch my ear. 

[Neil]

plenrty of acts on there i'll be happy to watch.

[Neville Street]

Friday night with a few beers, can’t wait.

Saturday evening could be a snag. Might skip Waterboys, saw them in Bath recently. Might attempt both, as per earlier comments elsewhere. Need to be somewhere in Pyramid Field for Live and Let Die and the rest of the end of McCartney

Would you believe me if I said deliberate...? Just stuck that song on Spotify though!

[LinvoyPrimus]

Friday headline clashes starting to look absolutely brutal. Really hoping Paul & Jacqui show up early on a bigger stage at some point.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott / Primal Scream. That's my friday. Gone from nothing... to a clash. Classic Glastonbury.

Would also be my assumption.  He's been edging his way up to 'Alternative National Treasure' status in recent years.

Can some one call me just before Tony  Christie sings Is This The Way To Amarillo!

 

thanks 😊 

One of my mates looks like Peter Kay if he'd chosen a life of beer and rugby. I reckon we can get him leading the marching line around the field 😂

[giantkatestacks]

Good lineup - Laura Viers a must see for me.

Bringing my mum and my kids for the first time this year.

Eldest daughter is massive Eilish fan

Mum is massive beautiful south fan

i have my first problem

You probably need a little time to figure that one out. 

[oakdown]

Embarrassed to say the only name on there I might make the trek up for is Scouting for Girls... Between them/McFly/Sugababes and Hoosiers the fest is really encouraging me to relive my teens. 

[Brave Sir Robin]

I'd not heard of them before but Pavey Ark sound excellent on first listen, folk rock band from Hull.

Heard Roseanne Read on the Folk Show the other day. She is the daughter of one of the Proclaimers. The song Mark played made me sit up - really good.

Agree, she sounds great too.

Was hoping Irish Mythen were a Hayseed Dixie-esque group doing Iron Maiden covers in a Celtic trad style.

Yes, as soon as I saw she was playing it popped into my head and I had to share it on here, why should I be the only one? 😉

[TheSheriff]

Very solid lineup from the Acoustic, plenty on there for me. 

[Beerqueen]

Listening to a few now and liking the sound of 49th and Main but they have a very different sound to the rest so far - not your typical Acoustic band.

Katherine Priddy's album last year was gorgeous. If you like folk, I'd recommend!
