West Holts 2017

[jackarmy]

If they couldn't get ATCQ they'd have been better off giving De La Soul and the lads a ring and seeing if they could step in last minute, playing Demon Days the week before, and stepped in last minute to replace Wu Tang at Nozstock the other year, so they've got form for it.

Bit of a lazy booking IMO, especially if Dizzee was due to play elsewhere originally...

[big__phil]

If Dizzee plays Boy in Da Corner it'll be a shame to miss him, but Radiohead easily trumps that for me. Tribe would have been a really tricky call though...

Shame they couldn't book somebody who hasn't played lots of times before really, but never mind.

I will be watching Dizzee

Not adverse to the Rascal. Probably would only be Future Islands that can stop me watching him now.

Beats Sheeran...

[Gucci Piggy]

Great news for me. And to think my main reason for not worrying about RTJ replacing them was the fact it'd involve rearranging more of the line-up  I guess Dizzee would have been mid-Other or something anyway and easily replaceable.

Has no one got Ice Cubes number?!

Probably be a giggle....but hardly the strongest set of headliners I've had in my days.  Status Quo acoustic minus Rick Parfitt is hardly essential.

Dunno, really.  More than any year the top of the bill isn't packing in the must sees and it's probably gonna be more about going with the flow and peer pressure than it is about anything being unmissable.

Sunday night is looking especially barren (what is it with Glasto and Sunday nights?). Mrs Jass admitted last night that she really wants to see Sheeran, As it stands there is no viable alternative for me.

Dizzee Rascal headlining any stage in 2017 is mega lols innit? 

Very poor booking if true.

Discussed it with the usual bunch Calgon, line up is a bit of a turkeysub.

[mjsell]

I'm still on for the trio of RH, Jacksons, Justice. For me that is a cracking set of headliners. Bit of everything, in a great order as well.

My one worry is that if there is no good alternative to RH the majority of my group will make an early beeline to block 9 or something and I'll be lagging behind.

[FuzzyDunlop]

I'm currently

Radiohead or Flaming Lips

Sasha and Digweed

Shaggy

I am happy with my headliners if it is those 3. Good variety anyway.

Jain then Shaggy in Silver Hayes would be fun, as will Justice, so happy enough with either of those.  But none of it is stuff I've been waiting half my life to see.

Lots of good stuff, but maybe a clashfest around teatime and then tumbleweeds later on.

I still maintain theres some depth in the daytime and evening but there isn't one headliner I  want to see over the 3 nights on any stage so far. Dizzy (if true) is a shocker for Friday night WH.

Although I was always in the Flaming Lips camp there I suppose.

Radiohead on the Pyramid stage, finally seeing Justice for the first time, and hopefully RTJ headlining a tent.

Don't think I could really have asked for any more than that of my three headliners.

The Saturday one obviously isn't confirmed but it's looking more likely by the second.

I thought they'd up the ante after a mixed bag in '15 and '16. I was dead wrong.

Or Bananarama's.

Dizzy is a "Coldplay.... again" type announcement.

Same for me (although I have seen Justice once before). If it ends up being those three it'll be the strongest set of headliners I've had in the three years I've been going.

It is, but if it's because of a pull out - with only a month to go, it isn't the festivals fault.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Other way round for me.  15 and 16 were jam packed with stuff, so I was hoping for maybe a bit more breathing room this year.  Careful what you wish for, I guess.

This sort of thing is why we often end up watching the big Circus headlining show on a Sunday night.
