Seeing both at All Points East last year, Jungle and Erykah Badu felt perfect for West Holts headliners. I know that the West Holts booker tweeted about Erykah's Forwards Festival set too.

John Kerridge runs the stage - but he doesn't book the acts.

Not bad...

Interesting to see you switched the conventional logic and had Stevie Friday, Coldplay Sunday...

That based on anything solid?

The intel we originally had was Dua Friday and we’ve now heard she’s Saturday so putting 2+2 together would suggest they’ve moved Dua and Coldplay’s days to Saturday and Sunday because Stevie can only do the Friday, although this is purely speculation at this point.

Thrown this together, afaik every act here is about and free on the day I've put them on.

Fri
Py: Stevie Wonder, Vampire Weekend, PJ Harvey, Jorja Smith, Unknown T
OS: Nicki Minaj, Rema, Kali Uchis
WH: Kano, Sampha, Noname
Wo: MGMT, PinkPantheress, The Kooks
Pa: The Smile, Beth Gibbons, Brittany Howard

Sat
Py: Dua Lipa, Pulp, Lenny Kravitz, Mitski, Declan McKenna
OS: Chase + Status, Jungle, Ice Spice

Pretty solid weekend that! Jorja currently exclusive at R&L, but obviously that may not stay true.

Impeccable logic 👏

Ah, thought he may have some involvement in the booking.

Wouldn't be massively surprised to see Jungle get the nod on WH. Also Chaka Khan, though I assume that they wouldn't clash her with Stevie.

I’m hoping that the festival has all female headliners on the Sat night so I can watch Chaka Khan. For me personally Stevie , Chaka and Coldplay would be a fantastic weekend.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Nah. Put her on vs. Coldplay and The National.

[nikkic]

Stevie Friday, Justice Saturday and Chaka Khan Sunday would do the trick 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Don't see Justice playing again quite so soon. At least, not on West Holts.

Really hoping that they’re perhaps booked for Woodsies, but yeah, not expecting them back so soon personally, as incredible as it’d be. They don’t strike me as a ‘play on every album run’ kind of band, even if it has been seven years.

That's more than enough of a break.

Get them back! But don't make me trudge all the way over to the worst named stage ever.

Glad it's not just me that thinks that stage name is downright embarrassing...

Think the general consensus when they revealed it was that it was pretty shite tbh.

Jamie xx?

[Bike_Like_A_Mum]

Some of you sneakies have got more info you're not sharing... Has anyone got a list of acts we've got a strong tip off on? It's just so exciting! 👏🏼

Personally I'll be absolutely BUZZING for Avril Lavigne and BMTH...if those are actually GSHs so i'm chuffed to see them in this thread a few pages back 😊

I’m really hoping for Avril. I’d take BMTH too but seen/seeing them twice on the current tour so not as fussed if they don’t turn up.

Apparently Jungle aren't doing Saturday West Holts headline either so I'm not sure who your info is for
