Seasick Steve

Recommended Posts

This has probably been covered before... but I heard somewhere (probably on 6 music) that Seasick basically all but confirmed he would play this year.

I remember seeing him on the Pyramid in 2008, and I was wondering if he is playing would he do the same early afternoon slot he did then or, seeing as he is a bit more recognised now, work his way up the billing? I really enjoyed his set and thought it fit in perfectly with the time of day, but it would have been nice for him to been on a little longer...

AWESOME news if true - if you remember exactly where and have a link, could you share it? Not that I'm doubting you!

I love this guy.

I don't know if you use Facebook, but I'm a 'fan' of his on there, and someone has posted a clip of him turning up to an open mic night in a random pub in London and playing a song. It's brilliant.

As for the bill - he played several times in 2008 including headlining the Acoustic Tent. Same again would be great.

Incidentally did you read the NME review of I Started Out With Nothing...? Utter balls mate. That magazine is only useful in the longdrops if you get my drift

SeaSick Steve was relatively unknown when I saw him at Glastonbury 2008. Now he has been on the Brits :P I loved his little video about getting to Glastonbury -think it is part of the Glastonbury Movie (2006) or was part of the Glastonbury highlights on TV...

From Steve's Facebook page:

For all those that have been asking, we'll hopefully soon be announcing summer festivals in the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, and possibly more! I can't confirm anything yet, but we're working hard and have a LOT of offers on the table. If all goes to plan, Seasick Steve will be playing at least one European festival every weekend throughout the summer! :P

Ive seen Steve twice in the past two years, once at the 02 Academy in Bristol and the same venue in Birmingham, both gigs ruined by selfish people who talked through his set, if he is at Glasto this year then fingers crossed he gets a littl more respect for his great work on three strings!

    • People seem to have got obsessed about 'secret sets' at all festivals this year even when there aren't any spaces other than, in EOTR's case, the usual late Folly sets that 90%+ of the time are from artists who are already playing.
    • To be fair @Superscally barely mentions the running thing. Very quiet about it 😘
    • I guess we'll just have to wait until videos of the shows go up, but the fact that the standing is also greyed out still suggests to me that those sections just sold out out before the others and a blue block just be like 3 tickets left, it's still not concrete proof they never went on sale and if they were never on sale why would they not make it even, if 414 wasn't on sale then you'd think 409 wouldn't be either   
    • Selfish, but I've done the 2 days I'm there.. i'll try to do the rest through the day but might get beaten to it as it's editable....    https://clashfinder.com/s/ape2026/
    • I don’t think the festival automatically ‘need’ to have a female headliner if you have strong female headliners on the Other Stage (which I reckon will be Rosalia and Phoebe Bridgers), perhaps a female legend (praying for Annie, will take Cher), and a few female/mix gendered subs on the Pyramid (maybe London Grammar, The xx). From what I’ve seen of Sabrina, her team prioritises the pay day and I think she will be doing Wembley over Glasto weekend.   One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of the suggestions would be first time headliners and I can’t work out when the last time was that the festival had three artists top the bill that hadn’t topped it before? It seems to be something they like to do to make sure they have a ‘safe’ headliner that will land well with the masses. Plenty of names in that hat that could step back up next summer and should/could be about: Billie Eilish, Adele, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Radiohead, U2…hell, if Beyoncé is really planning to release a ‘rock n roll’ album to complete her Renaissance trilogy, Glastonbury would be a great place to ‘kick off’ that campaign for her.   And there’s always the Rihanna rumour. Her husband (I think) said this week she’s in the studio.
