[bamber]

So, later on at NYC Lowdown would be just perfect. But this could work at our favorite stage ...#?

And This would be the last tune on Sunday in my ideal world...

Dyou think Kraftwerk would headline West Holts or Other? I'm not sure how big they are really

A perfect fit for West Holts I think. 

Bit surprised at some of the comments on this thread implying they ain't got the funk. Kraftwerk are the funk.

 

 

[slash's hat]

Tweeted Andy Bell about whether they would be at Glastonbury. He has not replied so I'm taking that as can't talk about it so yes!  cos he wouldn't just ignore me right? # haven't really got a clue how twitter works # too old to care

Kraftwerk are hugely influential to a lot of musicians. Granted, in my experience there's not a lot of dancing going on by the largely middle aged, white, 3D glasses wearing, audience, but the funk's there if you want it. Apart from Autobahn and a few others.

Kraftwerk and Benson would just about make my festival.

George Benson is playing at the Love Supreme Festival in Sussex on Sunday July 2nd. ? West Holts headliner? Would be fantastic

damn he's a UK Festival exclusive

[CaledonianGonzo]

Baffled by the #BensonLove, if I'm honest.

If he'd have been coming to play some gee-tar in a combo with, like, McCoy Tyner or summat I could dig it.

But on his jack singing the ballads I'm honestly not fussed.  Am I missing out on something?

[5co77ie]

he's got a touch of the Neil Diamonds - you just don't realise how good his records are

a bit of Womack:

a bit of Leon Russell (RIP)

and earlier this year:

...you're swaying, aintcha swayin'?

 

and you surely know this little tune?

Fair enough - I'll do some digging.  I tend to think of him more along the lines of a cross between Alexander O'Neill and Theophilus P Wildebeeste.

Now I wouldn't mind a bit of Alexander O'Neal mid afternoon with a Brothers in hand

Someone already posted this in the hip hop/grime board but I thought I'd throw it in here for good measure. A Tribe Called Quest to announce a world tour.

Solid Saturday/Sunday night headliner?

Fri: George Benson
Sat: ATCQ
Sun: Kraftwerk...............?

 

[eFestivals]

George Benson is an exclusive elsewhere.

obviously got no idea who's gonna be on Other yet, but as it stands with Ed apparently on the Pyramid, ATCQ on the Saturday would be the best case scenario for sure (assuming Kraftwerk will be Sunday). if they're up and touring around then i can't see Glastonbury missing out on them

[FuzzyDunlop]

A tribe called Quest would be great. I'd be all over that.

Just dont clash them with Radiohead

[Cornelius_Fudge]

Okay didn't know George Benson was an exclusive elsewhere, but like @FuzzyDunlop says... no clash with Radiohead!

Do the Eavii read these pages? Maybe enough of us comment we'd like ATCQ on Saturday night we can get them to keep it to that

Unless they're after a big payday......in which case more likely for Lovebox or Bestival or something , surely.

[merago]

ATCQ would make my weekend.  I'd love that.

[Cornelius_Fudge]

If it's a world tour though, they're going to be playing at a whole heap of places all over Europe, America and Asia.

Would an exclusive deal in the UK for Bestival or Isle of White or something really make more money for them than spreading it out?

They'd make more than enough to be able to do Glasto 'on the cheap', so to say, whilst also satisfying themselves they played one last time at the UK's biggest festival
