Dua Lipa was great on Sonic last year. 

[king_oxymoron]

She was awesome in the John Peel tent also. Happy with this, bizarre she's got pretty much the same slot though.

I was told a while back by someone on Twitter that Dua Lipa was on John Peel on Friday afternoon. 

Since you've started with that Thingy you've really become a minor celeb/ITK!

Fucking yes!!!! She did but she was low down about 3 acts in around 2pm.....her higher slot was Sonic which was also 5:30pm. Going for that or slot before on JP if that's correct.

Are you sure? Leftfield doesn't usually start until Friday.

[FOOLSP]

That's what he said.

Yeah I saw them last month, and Big Baz said it would basically have to be Thursday in Shangri-La or bust for them this year because they're in Eastern Europe the other 3 nights of the festival. Shame!

I'd seen their itinerary and abandoned hope, but hadn't thought about thursday. That would be absolutely bang on for the Thursday night.

[Andeeroo]

Leftfield opening on Thursdays again would be cool.

Think 2008 was the last time?

Wonder if that's the news that Neil has for tomorrow.

Got some bits:

• Afro-Colombian folk choir Canalon de Timbiqui

 

not playing, never were.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Any indication that the lead singer is there, but just with Quantic / Ondatropica?

doesn't sound like it, tho I can't be certain.

Nothing was being given away about who is playing but someone was curious where the 'wrong' name came from when efests already has a fat chunk for the rest of Saturday at West Holts.

[adequate8]

Hear anymore on Anderson Paak/ATCQ for Holts?

nope ... tho the manner of the denial had me think ATCQ is probably right.

Then again I've misread shit loads of similar vagaries from the same face over the years, so on that basis it's probably wrong.

Do you think Emily says "Look! There's Neil! I'm gonna go over and fuck with his mind."

nah, Emily is always lovely, and always happy to tell me some stuff (I got the full Prince SP a few years ago, amongst other things) ... tho of course she's never going to tell me bandnames they're about to announce themselves.

I think she might have been on the happy juice last night, cos she was very very happy ... tho I think a lot of that was because, for once, there's not really been any slagging off of the line-up, cos she was saying how much she was enjoying riding a wave of positivity for once and that she's going to enjoy it for as long as it lasts. And why not?

That's great, isn't it. The amount of grief they get is unbelievable, really pleased she's able to enjoy it all this year.

I am too and although it went to extreme, if you book as controvertial act as they did a couple of years ago for a place like Glastonbury shit will hit the fan. I'd be shocked if they did something like that again.

Weird, as the link @dentalplan posted clearly shows them as playing, and the other festival dates listed on that page are right as far as I can see - Womad, 'Festival Tropical Pressure' in Cornwall. Could they be playing, just not on West Holts, maybe somewhere small instead?
