I've seen him a few times, including a headline slot at Primavera, and people are pretty rabid for him. Though can understand how he might alienate a crowd on the Other iicon might be a better fit imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jannybruck Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 Aphex only does big paying stuff nowadays. If he didn't do it on the extensive festival tour last year then he won't be doing it any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumski Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 Jamiroquai would be way to popular for WH. Another Sugababes busy set but more so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't be more so if the ‘babes packed WH to capacity. Hopefully they’ll learn their lesson next year after TLC and Sugababes. Nostalgia acts are definitely a blind spot for the bookers, it seems.

CaledonianGonzo Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 Depends on whether they consider booking acts that pack the field as a success or a failure. I'm not a promoter, but I know which result I'd rather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTJ would be ace but are they active/touring? Chase and Status for the electronic act? Chase & Status are doing some big old shows this summer, headlining Boardmasters and sold out the MK Bowl (65k!) in a few weeks somehow. They are really on the come back at the minute and dnb is fairly big at the moment in general, reckon they'd be Other (but not first choice) rather than WH.

You'd need pretty solid acts elsewhere to avoid another 'Avril' moment, Baddadan has some serious pulling power! For myself, I just want to see Aphex Twin again. West Holts would be my number one choice. Last year at Forwards Festival was the best electronic performance I've ever seen, it still gives me goosebumps now...

Will be like over a year and a half by then would be fine. With decent stuff elsewhere would be fine.

Avalon_Fields Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 I’d love to see Boz Scaggs at Glastonbury, on the Pyramid or WH. He has some truly classic songs, put out some quality albums over the last decade, and as he’s now 80 it’s maybe getting to a last chance to see him perform.

CaledonianGonzo Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 New name to me, but was listening to Thandwisa Mazwai's Sankofa album that a pal recommended to me and its ace. Her Tiny Desk Concert also dabs up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
