[CaledonianGonzo]

It's why they'll maybe put him on the Pyramid, but they'll never book him for the legend slot.

Philip Glass Ensemble - Koyaanisqatsi Live! have been announced for Lowlands

Wow.... would love to see that. Wondering if it would need to be at night to see the screen well and whatnot

I dunno - I'm hoping they reveal more about it - very exciting stuff! A great portion of my life when idle was sountracked by that

Snap.....perfect for when the acid was about 8 hours old and thinking of leaving your system

Any educated guesses for west holts yet? Or are we still speculating and dreaming?

A reformed NWA: Cube, Dre,  Ren,  Yella  and Kendrik taking up Eazys place. Thank you please.

That wouldn't do anything other than Headline the Pyramid

[gsansom]

Was worried it might frighten the deck chair brigade. They would totally own the pyramid though. Alternatively I'd take Dres rumoured Beats and Rhymes tour lineup

That's why I reckon George Benson will be on the "Saturday tea time Burt Bacharachesque slot"

[HoTWire]

Surely Laura Mvula is in with a shout for a good slot on West Holts, new album and all that, timing is spot on.

WHAT!? How can this be? Terrible news.

[HoTWire]

hmm Shobaleader One the Squarepusher live band thing seem to be doing a festival in Germany in May.  Too untested to headline I guess though, and I don't think it would work if it wasn't at night for the lights and things.

correct stupid name spelling

Playing the US Glastonbury weekend.

WHAT!? How can this be? Terrible news.

Any rumours on the reggae side of things for this year Neil?

You mentioned the fact Damian Marley was playing elsewhere and probably wouldn't come over twice in the summer.

I assume Toots is still off radar due to the bottle throwing incident

the options get more and more limited as more and more of the old skool drop down dead

I've heard nothing at all, tho I wouldn't be particularly surprised to see Misty In Roots as the token (booo!) act this year, just because they seem to be flavour of the month right now, doing the 6music fest and a show on 6music this weekend.

I'll be at their 6musicfest show, which I suspect might have a few more than the 30 people who were at their show in Bristol less than a year ago (which I was also at).

A bit of 6music hype will do them wonders I reckon.

A quick squizz digs up that both Alpha Blondy and The Abyssinians are touring in Europe later on this year.

Actually, I reckon this might be Grace Jones' year...
