Folk, Country, Americana at Glastonbury 2017

[TheSheriff]

Over the years some of my favourite acts have come these genres, hopefully 2017 will have some more crackers. Here's a few I think may play and some that I'd love to see.

Billy Bragg & Joe Henry (As well as Bill's usual Left Field show)

Martha Wainwright (new album coming out)

First Aid Kit

Margo Price

The Staves

Teddy Thompson

Zac Brown Band 

Emmylou Harris 

Kacey Musgraves

[highwater]

Would love to see Jason Isbell next year.  

And Hodmadoddery should definitely be booked for next year too after their sterling efforts this year. 

[FatAmmy]

Sturgill Simpson

Infamous Stringdusters

Greensky Bluegrass

Ryan Montbleau

Chris Stapleton

Bela Fleck

Justin Townes Earle

I want John Fogerty to play again, but I reckon he is one and done after his stint on the old Jazz World stage.

John Fogerty would be great, but gotta agree with you don't think he would play again

Was just coming in to bang on about my Jason Isbell obsession again. He was great at Green Man.

Me three. Yet to see him live (other than with DBT back in the day) heard he was good at Green Man

Oh and add the Drive By Truckers to that list too.

Went to the Shrewsbury Folk Festival this year and fell across Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, a band I'd never heard of before.  Superb.  Worth checking out if you don't know them and they'd go down really well.

[Avalon_Fields]

Some great acts above, agree Jason Isbell would be highly welcome, his last two albums are stunning.

First Aid Kit may have a new album by then, and they've already played the festival so reasonable chance they could return.

The Mavericks are one I'd like to see again, they have a live album coming, Lucinda Williams regularly tours, Margo Price maybe a chance with her links to Jack White, and what about Jack himself doing an acoustic set?

 

 

[White Bear]

Would love to see Counting Crowes announced 

Amazing live band, would be perfect early pyramid or even headlining the park maybe? 

Also the Milk Carton Kids, First Aid Kit, Freakwater and Lau would all be welcome additions.

Would love to see Balsamo Deighton get a slot either on the Acoustic or Avalon Stage

[BlackHole2006]

Would LOVE to see Bill Callahan in some capacity.

Also Damien Jurado wouldn't go a miss. 

[Gnomicide]

A few I'd like to see...

Danny & The Champions of the World 

Decemberists

Hollis Brown

Cracker

First Aid Kit (combo of sunshine, cider and making the mistake of a little lie down meant I fell asleep halfway through their Latitude set)

Counting Crows (headline Acoustic please)

Golden Smog

[GlastoEls]

Sturgill Simpson please!

[Wooderson]

Gillian Welch.

[BlackHole2006]

Ween performing 12 Golden Country Greats in full?

[bennyhana22]

Listened to Conor Oberst's new solo acoustic record tonight - really good on first run through. Would love to see him in some capacity on the Farm.

Hell yes! Callahan on the Park has been a dream for some time. Saw Jurado earlier this year when I wasn't sure about the new album but he knocked it out of the park (as he would say).

Does Angel Olsen still fit in this category? I want her anyway.

Niice, I'm yet to see either. Jurado would suit The Park down to the ground. I would rather see Bill Callahan on something a bit more intimate, like the Avalon stage. Or am I being overly ambitious?

[Waapster]

Ryan Adams on Park Stage against The Who was one of the best things I've ever seen (its still on Youtube). Would love to get him back to play through 1989.

Great call! At the Acoustic or Avalon....would be a must see for me.

[Quark]

I could go for:

Shooglenifty (even though the frontman looks like what would happen if the Childcatcher gave up and became a traveller)

Demon Barbers XL (what''s not to like about sword dancing?)

3 Daft Monkeys (always play anyway but they're working on a new album at the moment)

Granny's Attic (saw them at a street show for Horsham Folk Club, young lads but very good traditional folk)

Chumbawamba (incredibly unlikely but their folk incarnation was amazing)

Telltale Tusk (missed them this year  )

Plus definite upvotes for First Aid Kit and an Counting Crows acoustic set!

Have to say that Avalon in particular may be the best place in my mind for just stopping and listening to whatever's happening.

Alison Krauss & Union Station. Or anything Jerry Douglas related. 

But its difficult. No one goes to the gigs really. Patti Griffin (with Dave Pulkingham, who is shit hot) this year played to 60 or 70 people. Acoustic tent completely empty. 

Gretchen Peters (not terribly exciting I know) was the same in 2013. 

These sorts are used to playing places like the Ryman and the like so being carted over to a field in Somerset to play to a handful of people looking to get out of the rain is hardly something on the to do list.

Sad news, I saw them on Avalon 2013, totally amazing

True unfortunately. I was at Patti's and Gretchen's gig and both were excellent, but you don't get much of an atmosphere in such an empty tent.

Some of the Magic Numbers were at Patti Griffin's show too.

I second the Justin Townes Earle suggestion above. Would also like Shovels & Rope, who I have only recently discovered.
