Aloe Blacc!!

I am well happy with that considering I didn't think he would be there at all. However I am the only one of my friends who has heard of him, so it will be me and a cold cider to watch him!

If anyone sees me bopping around on my lonesome feel free to say hi!

The announcement today demonstrates why Glasto for me is light years ahead of the rest. The board was buzzing with lurkers checking out a lineup for the 3rd largest stage with acts that would grace the main stages of most other festivals in the country.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

not really tbh apart from possible Cee-lo and Chase & Status, if we're talking the main festivals

[Big Vern]

Janelle Monae, Kool And The Gang, Jimmy Cliff, Big Boi.

You could even stretch to Hercules, The Go Team! and Bellowhead.

[G1T]

Well, West Holts has set the bar for other stages to try to beat then.

Kool and the goddam Gang. Oh yes.

[timespeedsup]

Heliocentrics with Mulatu Astatke

[daley]

Im delighted with Bellowhead and Go! Team! x

[CaledonianGonzo]

Have I missed a Club Dada announcement?!?

[Bobs]

Need i say anymore?!

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

yeah sorry, I'm thinking only about the big commerical festivals.

[tinners]

Made up about this one. Anyone catch him with Ethiopiques in 2008?

& he leads into Jimmy Cliff.

Yeah and hated that American band he was with. They patronised the Ethiopians and played really flat. The magic of the ethio jazz stuff is all those throbbing valves and pre-digital fuzz. The Heliocentrics are perfect for him. Should be a great gig.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Dunno if you're allowed to comment on the nature of your role on the stage, tinners, but it has to be said that those folk involved in booking the bands have done a great job.

[LondonTom]

They're on the rumours page.

Seeing OdS on Saturday night for their album launch, so I might see if they can confirm.

[jimmy93]

Cee-Lo and B.B King swap is likely to have happened to accommodate when love comes to town I reckon

[Diamond Solitaire]

Brilliant announcement. Will definitely be at Big Boi and Janelle Monae on Saturday night. Hopefully see Little Dragon and The Go! Team as well. If nothing else takes my fancy Kool and the Gang would be a pretty fun way to end the weekend. Getting really excited for Glasto now

[olliet101]

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!
