D'Angelo

[4AssedMonkey]

Just seen the line up on here and D'Angelo is down as confirmed.  Have we missed something?

It randomly went up on the website and got taken down a few hours later. Consensus is he was supposed to be on the lineup and pulled out, or he's playing and is yet to be announced and the poster went up accidentally.

I'm absolutely loving Black Messiah now and it's really annoying me because if he does play I can only see him being the Friday WH headliner which would add him to the Friday headliner clashtacular.

Friday always brings the clashes of doom.  Every gosh darn year.  Friday 2013 still gives me Vietnam-style flashbacks, agonising over a sweat stained clashfinder.  Can't believe I had a 4 way clash for headliners and the next slot down.  My head almost imploded.

That Friday night I think I had an 11-way clash. It was ridiculous.

[4AssedMonkey]

That was my thought.  I was aware of the faux-pas with the poster, but a (C) on here means there's more to it, or a mistake made.

ah yes will take it back to (TBC)

I've listened to Black Messiah quite a bit since the poster slip up I enjoy it even more every day, I imagine it's even more impressive live

Friday WH headliner would be perfect for me as I haven't got anyone I'm bothered about yet

Yeah but @eFestivals and Scottie wouldn't have him as confirmed on that basis. That'd be a TBC. Either theyve made an error or they know more than just the poster enigma.

error.

Eeesh, Scottie's Performance Appraisal this year...

 

;-)

[FloorFiller]

Bollocks, thought we were getting a confirmation of him either playing or not playing. Tbh right now with the upper reaches of the lineup looking awfully packed for me id rather he didn't play at all, cause if he headlines WH on the Friday then they can just fuck right off. I do wonder more and more if the guy claiming that a WH headliner had pulled out was telling the truth and it was D'Angelo (and he just added the stupid 'Adele not playing' bit on to the end)

[4AssedMonkey]

Well, that's cleared that up then.  I'll send you my invoice.  

[CaledonianGonzo]

Sorry Friday Night fearmongers, but I've got a stiff middle digit for both LCD Beardface and the Icelandic Post Rock Whalesong Ensemble if this comes to pass.

Not sure if this has been posted here but BBC certainly have him as playing...

Do you feel you've been given then tools and training to update the lineup pages properly?

1) Not at all

2) To some extent

3) Very much so

4) Don't know

hmm not sure whether to read too much in to this, but you'd certainly think with them being associated with the festival that they'd be in the know about this kind of stuff

can sense that Friday night clash becoming even clashier

In a tent. I imagine it was still pretty naff at that time though. 

I just assumed it was because they're not as big in America. 

from the video it looked pretty wedged and it was a great set. typical american coachella crowd though.

if they can pull a crowd like that at Coachella then i think it's safe to say they can definitely still pull a substantial crowd at Glastonbury and that West Holts headliner doesn't at all sound out of the realms of possibility - think they'd absolutely ram out the likes of Sonic

[Junglist1981]

If they're booked to play on Sonic I will be screwing.

I'd rather they played the band stand tbh.

Or even that tiny little stage on pallets near Gate C.

but who were they up against at Cochella? did they have much competition for the crowd?

if they headline Glastonbury they're completing against all the other acts on at the same time

that's a good point, but i would've thought they would be in significantly more demand at Glastonbury than Coachella, where i imagine the vast majority only knew Born Slippy, so regardless of who they're up against, they'll be a huge draw for some

[CaledonianGonzo]

No direct experience of this myself, but I'm sure I've heard tell of relatively recent festival performances by Underworld where hardly anyone showed up.

was rather sparsely attended at Bestival yeah, although the attendees of that festival (last year at least) sway far more towards students on their last hurrah before going back to university - not really Underworld's target audience. guess a point could be made that they weren't up against anybody(?) that night so should've been able to pull a crowd regardless, but i think they'd have a much better turnout at Glastonbury

Did you catch them at Primavera? Heard a lot of people praising them as we were leaving the site. They were playing Dubnobass in full though...

yeah i did, although don't really remember much of it. remember it going off for Born Slippy though

[TomViolence]

I ended up at Thee Oh Sees and was kicking myself for it afterwards (they were good but I've been meaning to see Underworld). Hoping to get a chance at Glastonbury but the clashes are already looking likely to pile up :/
