Unlikely acts you'd love to see

[kalifire]

I couldn't make the Festival last year, so I'm disappointed that I probably won't get to see John Grant, who was there but probably won't be in June for what would basically be the same set.

As usual, I'll be disappointed not to see The Roots.

Any artists you can think of who probably won't be there but you'd love them to be?

Would like to see any of the following, most are pretty unlikely I'd say:

 

System of a Down, Biffy Clyro, Frightened Rabbit, The Killers, First Aid Kit, Royksopp

[oneeye]

Hootie and the Blowfish, Third Eye Blind, Matchbox 20, Feeder, Billy Joel, Goo Goo Dolls.

Dream on.........

[tolywoly]

Tom Waits in the legends slot.

An extreme long shot I admit. But it would be amazing. I'll enjoy Diana Ross too. 

[SwedgeAntilles]

The National.

[Stokesy10]

Green Day.

[baggienick68]

For me there's loads. I agree with Tom Waits but really can't see it. Also 'classic' artists like Santana and Ry Cooder would be amazing. Would also like to see artists I missed last year when I was post-op and couldn't get round the site very well, especially Sigur Ros, Richard Hawley and John Grant. But hey ho I'm sure this year will be great and throw up some gems.

Kendrick Lamar

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm liking The Park's Grand Old Ladies of Music Slot - in recent years they've had Candy Staton, Yoko Ono, Mavis Staples and Ronnie Spector showing up.

So with that:

Darlene Love

Wanda Jackson

Betty Davis

 

or....um...Elkie Brooks or Bonnie Tyler

 

[big__phil]

Burial...not a chance though.

[Miesh]

Tom Waits, I know it won't happen but he is the one artist I would most like to see and haven't as yet. 

Also Sizzla and Tracy Chapman.

[Homer]

 

Lemon Jelly are officially 'on hiatus' - would love to see them again.

[mungo57]

Steven Wilson

Tool

A Perfect Circle (confirmed touring USA next year, new album, no world tour dates announced yet)

Haken

 

None of those bands will play next year though I wouldn't think, Haken will have finished touring and I can't imagine where they'd fit in, APC will likely stay in USA (prime wine season for Maynard) and SW same as Haken. Tool - law unto themselves it seems

Giorgio Moroder playing a set of Donna Summer tunes in NYC Downlow

 

I think that's quite unlikely

Stereolab. 

No fucking chance. But I love them so.

Is there a reason why they're unlikely? They seem perfect for the Other Stage whilst basking in the Sun.

For me:

Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes (many other heavier bands who's genre is the most overlooked in my opinion)

Will Smith

Dirtyphonics

 

[Tartan_Glasto]

Green Day, Paramore, Michael Jackson, Hands Like Houses, Halestorm, Beautiful Bodies, Chvrches and Bastille to name a few.

Saw the latter two last year but I love them live so juts want to see it all over again.

Oh, and The Killers.

[Oldredeyes]

Rage against the machine, Lana del Rey, Portishead and Abba. 

[kingbadger]

Slayer, Park headliner.

[Quark]

A reformed REM.  Never going to happen.

Levellers.  Play occasionally but more focused on smaller fests and Beautiful Days.

[BlackHole2006]

Swans playing a monstorous set in John Peel

Had a full, chronological R.E.M. listen recently due to this here forum. Not a moment wasted.

Missed a word out.

Ever since Ray Davies tweeted about The Kinks playing Glastonbury, and irrespective of brother Dave's dismissal of the notion, I've harboured unrealistic hopes of it happening. Picture the scene; Saturday evening Pyramid stage as the sun starts setting. The Kinks playing their first gig in over 20 years. Wall to wall bangers. The crowd realise they know most of them prompting mass singalongs, it's a set that will go down as a classic and re-affirms their position as one of the all time great British bands. And then Ed has to follow that.

 

Oh, and Nancy Sinatra at the Park please!

[Quark]

Oh, and a full Smashing Pumpkins reunion playing Adore in its entirety in a nighttime slot. Again, never happening on any level.
