bennyhana22 Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 (edited) Now that we know everything, now that there are only twelve (TWELVE!!) days until we return to the Promised Land, a follow up thread. The game is this - name the one (no cheating...) act that you would always choose to see at this year's festival, if up against any other single act on your schedule. Remember, you still have all the rest on your list, but this is the one for which you would forgo any one other act, if it came to it. It can be a live band/artist, a DJ, a poet, a comedian, a circus performer, a political figure on one of Billy's panels. Anything/one. But only one. If you like, indicate the stage and time too, as others might want to add your can't-miss act to their plans. Mine: Flyte - Avalon, Saturday, 1710-1810h Whatcha got?

balti-pie Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 I dont want to jinx myself cos i dont get my shifts til i get there, and im perfectly ready to miss whatever i have to miss, but the number one thing i want to see and will watch ahead of anything else: Nia Archives - west holts sunday, 8pm and there's barely a conceivable shift that can stymie this, so fingers crossed!

Mine has to be Asha Puthli 12:30 — 13:30 Friday on West Holts. A 4/5 way clash and none of the others stood a chance against her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4AssedMonkey Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 Black Pumas. 7:00pm. Sat. West Holts. New discovery from this year's line up and rapidly became one of my new favourite bands. Nothing could tempt me away from that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_c Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 Justice. We had to leave just before they headlined WH back in 2017 and when I watched it back I was raging we missed it as it was brilliant. Not missing them this time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonhammer Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 Really hard to pick one. Favourite acts I've already seen and/or will see later this summer,so the one I'll definitely catch is Arlo Parks Friday 18:00 - 19:00 Woodsies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BagpussSeesAllThings Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 The Streets - Other Stage 20.30 I've never managed to catch them live and their set a few years ago looked epic. Just a shame they're not the headliner cos that night really has a lack of quality acts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomicide Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 (edited) Tough question given this year's line-up really has no absolute must see, be there at all costs acts for me. I was going to say Big Special but I saw them a few weeks back (bloody excellent and I'll be watching them again). Because of that, if they'd been up against the other act I'm thinking of, I'd probably miss them. So, based on I'd never pay to watch them, this will probably be the one and only time I'll see them, and the fact I think it will be great... Avril Lavigne 😬 Other Stage, Sunday 18:00 - 19:00 Edited June 14 by Gnomicide Added stage details. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
