Wargasm?

[slicedcheese]

Hey!

Wargasm are listed on the line up for Saturday night (22:30, Truth stage).
However, they're not on the Earache poster and have said on Twitter that they won't make it due to scheduling issues.

Shame!  Was my top 'must see'.  Just thought you might like to know 😀

See y'all in a week!
 

[Spindles]

A shame, as they are one of my favourite up and coming bands, but they were already up against Macca so I'd made my peace with missing them.

Still listed on Glasto line up.  Big shame if true

[Quark]

Managed to get to see them in Brighton on Monday night (courtesy of @Keithyof this parish) and had a blast.  Like Spindles I doubt I would have seen them due to clashes so proper happy I got the chance.

Oh FFS.

There is precious little heavy stuff this year, that was a noisy standout for me.

Back to the drawing board for my Saturday schedule...

That is a real loss,  they were meant to have been brilliant at Download at the weekend. Just the sort of thing that should be at Glasto offering a really different option. Hopefully a similar replacement can step in.

...is the 'scheduling issues' because they just looked at the clashfinder and realised they were up against macca and were worried about an empty crowd?!

Who are they turning down Glastonbury for?

[baggie92]

I'd imagine they saw they were booked for a tiny stage and pulled out..

[Spindles]

This news makes me want to:

What else is on your 'heavy' list out of interest?

[Marvin S]

Yeah must be the small stage/playing to no crowd. Saw them open the main stage of Download at 11am on Sunday

Not sure they would really count as heavy but the only one I would add is Black Midi.

Looking forward to Bob Vylan!!

Not going but Amyl & The Sniffers are decent but more punk than heavy. A bit like The Chats if you know them and they’re on right before Turnstile on the same stage so worth checking out if you’re in that vicinity.

Very much looking forward to an hour of shouty Aussie punk, me.

Yep, on my list too, like a bit of quirky!

Someone mentioned that Dub War are now playing the Truth stage (see the earache twitter poster). Heavy enough if you get on with the vocals.

Unfortunately for me it clashes with Scarlet Pimpernel (and Snarky Puppy, I like my jazz rock too).

Skunk Anansie? They are pretty heavy live.

Brass Against have a guitar, drums, and play lots of RATM and Tool covers among other heavy stuff.

Yep, definitely ticks my box, and happily they're playing the Truth stage shortly before Vylan.

If it's a dry site then folks can see both Brass Against and Skunk by speed walking from West Holts to Other earlier in the day!

Wait what now?!?!?

Fuck me sideways you're not wrong!

I listened to Wrong Side of Beautiful so much back in the day! When I saw that DW were back I asked Earache on Twitter is there was any chance of them rocking up as well as Nova Twins and the bastards never answered!!

That might well be a change of plan then. Was going to be Heaton & Abbott, but in a very heavy left turn it looks like Dub War into The Damned. Million Dollar Love and Enemy Maker are going to be fucking immense.

No denying that's a good plan.

Unfortunately I *have* to see Gong.

Friday is a bloody clash nightmare.

Out of upvotes but you deserve several pints for pointing this out, I probably would have missed or otherwise. If we cross paths I'm standing you a beer and a crowdsurf boost 😄
