You don't have to love everything. If you've listened to his top tracks and you don't like it that's fine. Not everything is for everyone.

[Justcalledtosay]

Struggling to pick 5 🤣

[cheesey_toastie]

PJ Harvey

Jalen Ngonda

Liam Bailey

The Manfreds

 

Then everything else is a bonus..

[Skip997]

Justice 

Steel Pulse

Faithless

Possibly Janelle Monae (but she’s got a poor slot)

Nia Archives

[Neverneverland]

The National/Cat Empire (struggling with this clash)

BC Camplight

Whether I see them depends on what Oxfam shifts I get.

Very interesting question and honestly I think until the full line up with clashes comes out I probably can't fully answer it as things I really want to see will undoubtedly clash. I will definitely have a chock full schedule. There are a lot of acts I will undoubtedly see that I have seen many times before so I'll try and answer just from acts I have never seen yet.

 

Jessie Ware

Romy/Bob Vylan - These 2 are likely to clash which is heartbreaking for me

Cyndi Lauper/Avril Lavigne - the kind of acts I'd only ever get to see at Glastonbury

Newdad

The Bar Steward Sons of Val Doonican - what can I say I'm  Waterford girl Val Doonican is one of our own 😄 

 

I've bought tickets to see Janelle Monae, Fontaines DC and Sprints in case it helps with clashes.

I've done it myself with some acts that I think I should like but music gives you an emotional reaction. It either gets you in the feels or it doesn't. Just because it doesn't do it for you doesn't mean it's bad, it just means it's not for you and that's perfectly ok. There are some huge acts that I don't get at all and some tiny acts that I think are so talented they should be filling stadiums.

 

If you've given someone a fair crack of the whip I say move on and find the next thing you love instead.

To be honest i'm just going by the clashfinder so if there's no clash i'll be very happy, although imagine it will just create another clash somewhere else as the line up is great for me this year. Good problems to have though!

Fingers crossed you get to see them both. Always great when you think you have a clash but it all works out in the end.
