Acts you've newly discovered on the poster

[Avalon_Fields]

Listening to one of the Pilton Stage competition winners, Sam Evans, dare I say it, if you like Coldplay this one’s for you (Is he Chris Martin’s brother I wonder?).

I hadn't heard of Otoboke Beaver before today, but now really looking forward to them. Japanese punk-rock-garage quartet.

What new acts have you learned about from the poster?

Will give a listen

Not acts which I've learned from the poster but some smaller names that are really worth checking out..

- Soccer Mommy - She has done several albums 90's american indie rock sound.  Supported The National at Ally Pally last year FFO Phoebe Bridgers.

- Bar Italia - released debut last year I think.  Post punk indie - FFO Fontaines DC/Idles

- NewDad - I think they they have one album and some ep's - dream pop/Indie - FFO big thief, lush, wolf alice

- Mannequin Pussy - new album was out a couple of weeks ago.  Punky but then also shoegazy as well. FFO Idles, Ride

- Barry can't swim - Debut album was out last year. sort of "lofi" Dance music, in a similar vibe to Fred again. FFO Fred Again

-Alvvays - On about album 3 I think.  Jangly indie pop FFO c86 bands

I know lot's of indie there but I do listen to a lot of indie 🙂

also, I know people like Squid have been around a while but they are great post punk indie and Lankum was one of the albums of last year, dark folk I guess. 

I know I bang on about Nia Archives a bit but she really is fantastic.  Jungle music very 90's influenced. 

Soccer Mommy I found alright, will listen to more of Alvvays.

My find was Nia Archives. Not what I'd usually go for but it's not a vibe I'm apposed to

Quite like the sound of Jordan Rakei so far.

 

He sings the song “shadows” on the new Bonobo album

Loads of discoveries for me including heilung, Jalen Ngonda and Gossip

[Watergirl]

Listening to Black Pumas right now.  Very nice.  

I love how the Glastonbury line up gets me to listen to stuff I might otherwise not come across, like Gabriels previously.

[gherkin8r]

Had a good listen to black pumas and enjoyed. Also really like Brittany Howards first album but not so much her latest effort. Went back and had a good listen to Alabama shakes too this weekend while painting. Had always been on my radar as something I liked but had never properly listened to. Absolutely brilliant. 

[nikkic]

Yeah Black Pumas for me too. 

It’s like if Anderson Paak and Michael Kiwanuka had a love child, in musical form.

Thanks for this. NewDad and Mennequin Pussy are up my street so will check those out. 

[wro_lap]

Chuck me on the list for Black Pumas too

[CharlotteB]

I already liked Soccer Mommy, but I appreciate her even more after the poster dropped. She's gone from "yeah, I might drop by" to "will definitely go see".

[Chip Batch]

Nothing really but it's helped me rule a few out 😄

There's plenty I like so far anyway.

 

[Stave]

Black Pumas for me so far....

Yeah mega excited for this

[ModernMan]

Jungle have gone from "that would be alright" to my Friday headliner for sure - will be a proper party!

 

Black Pumas also on my must see list

[Nuthugger]

just listning to heilung. they sound badass

[Acid_Haze]

Mannequin Pussy, their new album is so good!

[4AssedMonkey]

Heilung are a definite for me now.  The YouTube vids of them live has really sold it.  Like The Hu last year, it's so far outside anything I've ever seen.

Black Pumas clearly popular and rightly so.  Some strong similarities with Alabama Shakes/Brittany Howard, although I agree her latest album isn't a patch on the earlier one.

[Nuthugger]

really looking forward to melissa vandella. she has an amazing voice and everyone should know her name

[GordonMcG]

Having had a couple of weeks now to dig into some of the acts I hadn't listened much too, here are five tracks I'm buzzing to (hopefully) hear this year:

 

Blondshell - Sepsis
NewDad - White Ribbons
Alvvays - Marry Me Archie
LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends
Kenya Grace - Only In My Mind

[snailcheeks]

Black pumas mainly due to everyone writing their name on this page. 

[mouserat]

Lots of stuff which I've been meaning to check out for ages and this lineup will finally nudge me to do so (Soccer Mommy, Mannequin Pussy, Sofia Kourtesis, Noname, Alvvays).

So far the big new ones for me have been Lankum and Blondshell.

[Meerkat]

+1 for Mannequin Pussy, great find!

Half way through the album and would recommend them for those in to Wolf Alice’s slightly heavier stuff

[DJL]

Like many others have said Black Pumas and Kenya Grace.  

Barry can’t swim wasn’t an act I discovered, as I had listened to him when he was last year’s line-up, but I had completely missed the fact he had a very good/well received album out which I’ve been loving too.

For all the criticism of the line-up I am yet to have a year where I don’t love the playlist I make out of it to fit my taste.
