What is your favorite discovery from the lineup?

[Jaykc82]

I've been a passenger for a road trip this weekend so have had tons of time to listen to the lineup.

I'm Canadian so some of these may be household names for you, but I've loved Maneskin and Manic Street Preachers and had never heard of either of them before the lineup drop.

Nice topic!

Maneskin won eurovision 2021, were unheard of before then here. Manics a heritage welsh indie act, headlined Reading back in the day etc

Nova twins and Ezra collective for me (bit of change of genre between them) but hoping to check out both if i can 

Texas was a band that I know the songs of because they're huge, but never attributed them to the band

Haven't gotten into the rest of their stuff yet, but I really like Cleopatra by Nova Twins

[Chrisp1986]

Can't believe anyone has never heard of Manics!

Weyes Blood is my choice. Had my playlist on all weekend and everytime I have checked my phone due to loving a song a lot, it has been by Weyes Blood. Are we thinking late Park stage?

[mike46]

Really like Cat Burns, hadn’t heard of her before 

[Robofish]

Cat Burns, Weyes Blood and Fever Ray for me.

How old are you out of interest? Having not heard of the manics, just made me wonder.

Of the stuff I e given a listen to this far I also really enjoy Maneskin, think I'll be watching them clash depenent

[plaskins]

If you tolerate this, then your children will be next was a number 1 single in UK for the manics in the 90s. Only Welsh artist to get a number one that year. Good song

I'm 40, wife hadn't heard of them either and we are going with another friend in his 40s and he wasn't familiar with them either.

Nope. Worth investigating?

[4AssedMonkey]

Nova Twins and Rina Sawayama. Bloody loving both. Fever Ray is….erm….interesting. Not sure if I like it or not yet but I keep listening to it. 

[Franky]

Fatboy Slim 😉

[donthaveacoolname]

Nova Twins are the stand out discovery for me, also been nice to rediscover the likes of Texas and Candi Staton

[Meerkat]

+1 on Nova Twins, never heard of them but they sound like they’d be great fun live.

More of a re-discovery but I forgot how good Christine and the Queens is (are?)

[Meerkat]

Teasing myself as I don’t even have a ticket (fingers crossed for resale) but got a Glastonbury playlist on.

Liking Carly Rae Jepsen too. Only knew Call Me Maybe and hadn’t explored any further. Really good pop music

Yeah. Their live shows were insane when they actually toured which was few and far between. The first Fever Ray tour in 2009 was incredible also. But overall The Knife were a big influence on a lot of swedish acts that have come up since the mid 2000's.

[nikkic]

Nova Twins for me as well. 

Liking Fever Ray and Lil Nas X too. 

[dreams_burn_down]

No brand new discoveries for me so far, but I've really been enjoying doing some catalog deep-dives for artists who I was only a casual fan of.

Kelis has a deep well of bangers. Still can't get on board with the new Sudan Archives but remembering how much I love her previous album Athena.  I've ordered Simon Price's Manics biography and am moving into obsessive mode.

Kelis is superb live.

I'll be there weather and clashes allowing.
