Would Chaka Khan still have enough to top the bill on WH of an evening ?

Touring the US until May.

That would be excellent. She's a legend, can't see any other slot for her.

My man Sinkane's new material is grade A.  

Telephone is a fucking party banger.

I got two bars in and concluded already this is awesome.

He was part of my dream afternoon in front of West Holts in 2015

I missed him, unfortunately - maybe due to Lionel Richie.

New Ibibio Sound Machine is also lit.

Would love to see BBNG back on West Holts. They were good back in 2013 but had a few sound issues if i remember correctly?

He is indeed. No Damo Suzuki though.

Or not.  RIP to the motorik maestro.

RIP indeed. A true great. David Bowie's Celestial Band just got itself an incredible drummer.

More octopus than man, an all time king of the beats.

Really upset about this, I can imagine the gig at the Barbican feeling very strange now.

One of the best:

It's a beezer. Reminds me of something, mind - maybe off one of the Thai Funk / Psych Rock / Molam compilations.

These venerable cumbia purveyors just announced for Roskilde.

Please let this happen!

Hmm.....given that Q-Tip headlined it on his jack are they maybe on the lookout for a more prominent slot?

I'm probably more in this boat, I think they could take quite a prominent slot on the other stage, especially with that playing at Roskilde 

Good to see Erasure playing festivals also and not just supporting has beens

They've played the last few years in other parts of the farm - Small World, Glade, mibbe the Hell Stage IIRC.

[tjamest]

Well i never. I hadn't heard of them before Booomtown 2015. Just checked and saw that they were on Hell Stage this year in the early hours of Sunday morning - well past my bedtime i'm afraid.
