West Holts announced.

[timespeedsup]

Any chance of Cee-Lo playing an early slot on the Pyramid on Friday? Clinging on here as I'd really like to see him but I don't want to miss U2, looking at last year Femi Kuti headlined West Holts on the Friday and played 2nd bottom on the Pyramid on the same day so perhaps it's a possibility? Fingers crossed!

the JazzField is one of my favorite places on site, but it's not always musically up my alley, so when some cracking acts are booked it makes it especially nice to know i'll happily be spending more time there. Jimmy Cliff in an earlier time slot and Dengue Fever look superb on the friday (just don't you dare put BB King on at the same time as JC, please) and as for Sat, Omar Souleyman should be interesting to see and I'll keep my fingers crossed that Janelle Monnae isn't clashing with some 'must see' on before Coldplay (Robert Plant, i fear) or the Chems.

Each to their own, and everyone on here seems excited by it, but Kool & The Gang just don't do it for me at all - "Cherish the Love" and "Joanna" are quite possibly the standard setters for 'telephone hold' or 'elevator' music. Granted, there's far more to them than that, but 1983 was surely a horrible year for them. I'm still looking for something to do/see sunday night.

(i must stop reading/posting until i get a ticket on sunday)

I'd be pretty happy to spend most of my time at West Holts - good music, booze, food and atmosphere.

That said, I do hope Janelle Monae doesn't clash with anyone I want to see. Really looking forward to her set and would probably go regardless, but would prefer it to be clash free.

Jimmy clashing with Fleet Foxes and a 'big surprise guest at the Park' or even Elbow would 'annoy' me no end too!

Looking forward to Mulatu and Dengue Fever though.

Didn't Femi Kuti headline because Mos Def pulled out?

[Vieuphoria]

Me too. I'd like to see him. Think he'd get a biog crowd too.

[jimbo68]

Jimmy Cliff will be amazing, Wild World with Jimmy & Cat Stevens would be a dream come true, Fantastic line up especially Sunday .

[Bort]

I very highly recommend checking out Little Dragon.

[LittlemissC]

Firstly, what a lovely positive thread to read and the excitement filters through big time.

Secondly, peach of a line up! I'm a very happy girl, and there's still so much more to come

[RichieSpenno]

The Go! Team sound alright.

[binbag77]

some really nice stuff on the west holts stage this year cant wait for June

[Wanderlei]

Kool & The Gang make me cringe. Not to mention Get Down On It and Jungle Boogie are the same song. lol

[Mr Splodge]

Really pleased with the line up so far. Kool And The Gang on sunday what a great booking.

[Wanderlei]

Can't wait for Bellowhead.

[denwyn]

I think i am going to be spending a lot of time on you tube looking at the West Holts line up,not heard af at least 50% of them,some good ones there though that i do know,not keen on Cele Lo Green,i know hes got a big following but hes not for me. Love the Kool and the Gang slot,bit puzzled by Duane Eddy though ?

[Steve P]

Well i'd take something very special to tear me away from Jazz World on the Saturday night, Janelle Monae followed by Big Boi is a sublime bit of work. Really pleased that I might get to see some of Jimmy Cliff now too

[pie_and_a_pint]

Can't wait for Bellowhead.

[Madyokel]

Wow great bookings.. Clashes mounting up for me now

Espesh on friday as been longing to see Cee Lo and now a major clash..

Just praying he does play another slot somewhere.

[barrychuckle]

Best Jazz/World/West Holts/Brothers Bar field line up in years!!!

[incident]

bit puzzled by Duane Eddy though ?

[rexclark]

Excellent looking line up! Although it has brought on my first clash, Cee Lo or Primal Scream? Really looking forward to The Go Team as well.

[Mardy]

Good line-up that. I'm impressed.

[4AssedMonkey]

Some great acts and some I've never heard of (as always happens!).

Really fancy Kool & The Gang. The Friday looks pretty solid too, but I can't see why Jimmy Cliff is only 3rd top? Surely he has higher status, especially when you consider that Cee-Lo really only has 1 successful (albeit recent) album.
