Mad Dog McRae.  Mrs 4AM will be delighted with that.

No Mik Artisik? Not seen him on any lineup yet. Wonder if he is playing or not

I'm cancelling my ticket!

[Avalon_Fields]

I saw Jesca Hoop earlier this year (working a gig), quite good if you like that sort of style...

Jesca Hoop a nice addition. Will Gok Wan just be doing a DJ set there? I didn’t think they had DJ’s on??

[CantWaitForGlasto22]

Was hoping to see Rhythm of the 90s again on this but maybe they will pop up somewhere else 🤞

[4AssedMonkey]

I recognise the name Jesca Hoop, but can't think were from or bring to mind any of her stuff.  Is she a fave of 6Music?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Rumba de Bodas are quite fun. Seen them a couple of times at the Edinburgh Jazz Festival I think.

If you like WOMAD as I do you'll like The Zawose Queens

Guy Garvey always goes on about her

I think I'm right in saying that last year it was the Croissant Neuf guys that got him back in the door. If he's not on the bandstand this year then I dunno if it's looking super positive

She's American but moved to Manchester I think because she is/was in a relationship with someone who has something to do with Elbow so she is a friend of Guy Garvey. She also did a radio documentary for the BBC about Joni Mitchell who is obviously a big influence on her.

Yes, I'd say she's 'quirky' but that sounds negative, she was playing at the Bury Met

Me too, this was the one I was waiting for but I think their size has outgrown the tent. I saw them back in 2019 when working and the tent was rammed then. Someone said even at like 1am after Arctic Monkeys last year it was stupidly rammed then with lots going on everywhere and a lot of idiots there so sounds like if they are there it would just need to be a bigger place.

 

I wouldn't rule them out being in the final lineup, they are free.

Good to see Mad Dog McRea back - I think it’s been a few years 

[Acid_Haze]

Moya Brennan might be quite popular, she's Enya's sister and has a bit of a following

[CharlotteB]

OMFG! No Steve Knightley? And we know he's at the festival (Left Field). Must've been a bust up 🤣

 

Saw Bakery at Avalon a couple of years back; they're amazing? Rainbow Girls are cool too, but never seen them live. Good lineup!

Tbh it wasn't as rammed last year as previous years, I think having them on Friday helped. Hoping they pop up on the line up elsewhere...

2019.  We hot footed it to CN after Frank T had headlined Avalon to catch it.  Got there just in time and just managed to squeeze into the tent.  They were great.

[John the Moth]

Jesca Hoop & Mr B the standouts for me.

 

Considering the festival as a whole, this year’s lineup is stacked 🙂

The voice of Chicane - Saltwater, what an all time classic

Check out Baskery, Swedish Americana folk rock . Seen them before. 

[BrimfulOfAsha]

Jesca Hoop is wonderful live. She did an album with Sam Beam (Iron & Wine) a few years back and i watched them at End of the Road. Amazing voice 🙂
