I wasn’t at Catfish but based on what I’ve read on here it seemed like it was busy enough, even if it didn’t sell out. They literally had to give away hundreds if not thousands of tickets for Kendrick.

No chance they’re booking Kendrick after how poorly his Summer Sessions gig sold. I’ll go for Paolo Nutini, Biffy Clyro and Kasabian. Edit: I forgot Kasabian existed.

I don’t think it’s too bad. There’s nothing on there that I’d want to see and while it won’t sell out I don’t think it’ll be the disaster that some think. I agree with the suggestion that Stormzy’s day will look weak until he headlines Glastonbury but after that I think it will sell fine. We always moaned at them booking the same acts to headline TITP all the time so fair enough for giving 3 new headliners a chance.

How many songs does he usually play at these sort of things? Considering the Usher Hall one but the prices listed on their website are putting me off a bit.

Seems like the last date is Brighton on the Friday. I can’t see a Glastonbury appearance happening, they may as well save him for when they headline the Pyramid in 2021.

Sadly not, their singer ruled them out on reddit a few weeks ago.

Yeah it’s not something I’m expecting for the reasons you’ve mentioned but figured I’d put it out there anyway. Suppose they could always end up on the Pyramid instead like we seem to predict at some point every year. As I said, I agree about an electronic act being more likely, especially if they’re not having one on the Other stage that might. I’m all for it being Jon Hopkins although a Tame Impala clash would be frustrating.

I’m also expecting the remaining West Holts headliner to be an electronic act but could The Roots be an option? They’re in Europe the two weekends after Glastonbury so they’re possibly around.

I don't think they've ever played The Park have they? Maybe they just want to try somewhere new rather than repeat themselves.

I'd be pretty happy with that, the Saturday night options aren't too exciting for me but plenty to see overall, the Friday especially would be brilliant. That lineup reminded me that we've all been predicting Tash Sultana to play the Sunday for some reason but I noticed the other day that they're actually playing the Barrowlands that night.

Seems like they're doing a very intimate tour in March, can't see any other dates yet but they're playing the Liquid Rooms in Edinburgh on 5th March. I think that's around 700-800 capacity so I'll definitely be trying for that. Edit: Nevermind found a poster

On their facebook page. 5pm is a strange time to put tickets on sale though, given they seem to like their 5pm announcements I reckon they'll release the lineup then and put tickets on sale straight away.

Announcement on Monday at 5pm then?

I'm curious, was that info related to the Wu-Tang Clan info? If they did have an offer to headline West Holts then they do seem the obvious shout for the Friday headliner.
