Frontmen/women gone solo.....or where can I hear some classic tunes 2017 edition.

[Justiceforcedave]

There's always a few sneaky band members hiding throughout the line up, some of which I instantly recognise and some which I don't! 

So obviously we've got Liam who will no doubt throw in some Oasis classics, Mark Langegan who will no doubt play a single Screaming Trees song (which no one's every heard of) and Paul Carrack who will be dishing out some Squeeze tunes, some Mike and the Mechanics and.....most excitingly of all Ace's "How Long".

Who else?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Barry Gibb will in all likelihood perform some tracks by his old band.

Never eard of him.

The Jacksons are the lead singer of the band Michael Jackson.

[radioahed]

Hamilton Leithauser on the Park Stage from the Walkmen but looking at recent set lists unlikely to be playing their stuff

 

Also add Jo Goddard from Hot Chip on the same stage 

Sorry for another edit but on a roll now

Tom Chaplin on the Acoustic stage from Keane. He does play songs from his old band

Aye Joe will be there but I wouldn't be expecting any Hot Chip material. Will be sterling none the less.

Not strictly the lead singer, but Nile Rogers of Chic penned approximately 100% of the songs written between 1974 and 1989.

Paul Carrack.

Has sung (lead)vocals with Squeeze, Mike + the Mechanics, Roger Waters, Ace and others, as well as playing instruments in many more.

If his voice was a loo roll he'd be Velvet triple soft.

He was excellent in 2015. Looking forward to seeing him again

Glen Matlock dropping in the odd Pistols song on an acoustic guitar at Earache Express.

[e2p2]

Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth at W.G, though the few setlists with songs in it doesn't suggest he play Sonic Youth's songs.

Groove Armada DJ set is the two main guys behind Groove Armada the band, and may well play some of their songs.

[Mattty]

Craig Charles tends to pull out a trumpet and blast out the Coronation Street theme whenever I see him

[Mattty]

Does Mike Skinner count? 

Does that lass from Faithless count?

Does Jamie xx count?

[GMF]

How does Chris Diifford and Glenn Tilbrook as an act differ from Squeeze. Jools is also there and Gilson Lavis plays drums with Jools, Paul Carrack is also there. The big secret is a Squeeze reunion, hurrah, sorry got a bit carried away there.

[stuartbert two hats]

The Bootleg Beatles usually close with a Fireman track or two.

[Watergirl]

Tom Chaplin (Acoustic, Friday) is Keane's frontman, I have just learned.

[henry bear]

I think Nirvana's drummer is playing somewhere.

[brandycoke]

Annie out of Fleetwood Mac is doing the John Peel .
