Brave Sir Robin

I’d messaged Lekiddo and he told me that if I added him to the playlist, there was a “strong possibility” he’d be playing - of course I did, and now he is!

Fat Whites aren’t Killdren, who are the subject of this thread, are they??

Arcadia acts now added to the playlist (up to 3 tracks based on recent tracklists). Also the latest self-confirmations, and updated Macca - his most often played tracks from recent years are perhaps a little odd, and I thought about changing them for his most often played of all time, but I figured no-one really needs reminding of Let It Be, Hey Jude etc. Even if that does mean the playlist now features the aberration that is Ob-La-Di, Ob-La Da.

She/they are great, but apart from that they are a young active indie band, do we have any particular reason to think they're playing?

Finished reviewing/adding the Silver Hayes acts to the Glastonbury 2022 playlist. Arcadia next.

Surely Acaster would be much more expensive than Joly these days??

Out of upvotes but great read, cheers

Paul Currie is a staple, but for good reason. Nothing sorts out your Glasto Sunday better than flying a luckdragon!

They were booked for 2020, said they were coming back & now have a London date on the Sunday. So 99.9%.

Great, many thanks Clerkete. When it fails to find tracks it's worth seeing which ones, as you can usually find them yourself. Be interested to see how the sync works - and whether you get alerted if it can't find a new track. I can't see how to stop sharing the previous Tidal one, but I've added the date to make it clear it's out of date. Meanwhile, on the Spotify playlist itself, I'm about halfway through checking/adding all the remaining acts from Silver Hayes. The non-electronic acts there often get missed, but there's a couple of interesting female R&B singer-songwriters in Hope Tala and Lola Young.

Great idea, cheers. If you subscribe to tunemymusic, they say they will port & automatically sync. No doubt other services will do the same.

It’s certainly doable, probably about an hour by the time you get to the van. DO NOT get drunk on the coach, more drunk in the queue for the gate, take a wrong turn while lugging your mate’s extremely heavy 6-man tent on the hottest day of the year, end up going through Silver Hayes (!), stop for several more refreshments along the way, and when you reach Ped Gate C find that you’ve somehow managed to lose your ticket which you need to get out, necessitating a long wait and then an interview by security in a little portakabin. Easily done.

Hope Tala is something of a surprise among the mostly electronic acts - young singer-songwriter making bossa nova-inflected soulful R&B. This one got her the attention of Barack Obama no less:

I've updated the Glastonbury 2022 playlist with Silver Hayes - taking a quality first approach, I've added all the acts recommended in the Silver Hayes and Electronica/Dance threads on here first. 1-4 tracks depending on popularity. As always, tracks are what the acts play live. For DJs, setlist.fm is rarely of assistance so this info is mostly from 1001tracklists and MixesDB (if anyone knows of any other sources please tell me). DJ tracks are only included where they play their own material in their sets, which is not the case for many of the DJs on there. I'll get to the acts that haven't garnered any attention when I can. Any comments or suggestions for improvement always welcome. For a fuller Silver Hayes experience, @jefwefwef has put together a playlist with every act's 5 most popular tracks on Spotify here.

All the acts mentioned on this thread are now on the big playlist - the tracks they've played most/recently - in so far as they play their own tracks live, which many of the DJs don't (going by 1001tracklists and Mixesdb data). 1-4 tracks depending on size (3 max for DJs).

I'm adding them to the big playlist when I can, starting with the acts mentioned on this thread

Mexican-Korean 'Mexican Seoul', with award-winning wings (try asking for those after 6pm): https://www.instagram.com/p/CckY_XTIbyR/

Updated the playlist with the latest self-confirmations Crazy P (soundsystem), Stanton Warriors, Mr Bruce (ex-Correspondents), Riding the Low, Matt Woosey and strong rumours Orbital. Also checked and updated a load of major acts' tracks with Coachella and other recent setlists.

Les Amazones d'Afrique nailed on too:

That could rule them out. On the other hand Phoebe Bridgers was supposedly a UK festival exclusive at Latitude. Sometimes Glasto seems to gets treated differently, perhaps as it's already sold out.

I agree it would be something wonderfully off the wall. The Nightmare soundtrack is just brilliant, and his other stuff sounds interesting. It seems to have gone down really well at Coachella. I just wonder if the festival has any spare slots on the size of stage it would need.

They do sound like they could be this year's biggish metal band, for Shangri La if not the main stages, but... the caterer??

You didn’t read his blog at all, did you? It was entirely reasonable, he was disappointed it didn’t work out in 2016 and he said he hoped he’d be back the following year. So there never was a “pledge not to go back”. He’s actually from Merseyside and is probably more strongly associated with Manchester than anywhere else. He’s popular in London, yes, but if you’re writing people off as pricks on the basis of that, then I guess you’re gonna have to put pretty much the entire lineup in the same category.

There will be - at the moment it’s too early as we only have the main poster and the Avalon lineup (and self-confirms/rumours from all over the place). What kind of music did you have in mind and perhaps we can say which areas might suit you best?
