Friday Acts - any recommendations?

[Melidere]

First off, thanks to all the people who posted in some other topics recommending acts that are performing on the saturday. When I first looked at the lineup nothing really appealed - but now I have a few bands I definitely want to see and more to give a listen to. The vast amount of acts playing make it pretty difficult to give them all a proper listen - the spotify playlist is great but I've barely scratched the surface. So all your recommendations have been like a guiding light leading me to wonders I probably would never have got round to listening to otherwise.

So can anyone suggest some good acts for the Friday? I'd love to get the ball rolling, but there's nothing really there I know and like well enough. Well maybe Warpaint.

Thanks!

These are the acts I've highlighted on the Clasfinder so far, obviously won't manage them all because of clashes but they're the ones that have jumped out at me so far

The Vaccines (Other, 14:25-15:20)

B.B. King (Pyramid, 16:25-17:35)

Jim Jones Revue (Oxylers in West, 17:35-18:15)

Big Audio Dynamite (The Park, 18:00-19:05)

Jimmy Cliff (West Holts, 19:15-20:15)

A first glance I picked out: -

Two Door Cinema Club

The Naked & Famous

Darwin Deez

Big Audio Dynamite

Biffy Clyro

Jimmy Cliff

Morrissey

Cee-Lo Green.

Some clashes but enough for a day out I reckon. I'd recommend anyone with Spotify to give Cee-Lo's album a good listen. I'm not a huge fan of what get's labeled RnB these days (which i think this kind of qualifies as) but this is really soulful and original. Plus he's bound to chuck in a couple of Gnarls Barkley tunes surely?

[brain yolk!]

Wu Tang Clan/Gonjasufi/Cage The Elephant all probably clash around 3 but i'd recommend them all. Gonjasufi/Wu Tang if you're looking for a chill

Like you said, Warpaint.

Fleet Foxes who probs clash with special guests on Park Stage, which is always gonna be interesting too.

DJ Shadow headlining John Peel should be awesome, as would Fatboy Slim on Dance if you're not interested in U2.

Jimmy Cliff

BB King

Big Audio Dynamite

Or you could just enjoy meandering around!

I think Cee-Lo will put on a great show, would see him if there were less clashes

[blue6field]

Only one recommendation and that's bright eyes! A total must!!

[tilt]

Biffy

Carl Cox / Fatboy

Crystal Castles

Jamie XX

Park special guests

Bright Eyes

[pastyb]

Dub FX at the Glade will not dissapoint.

[Bort]

Little Dragon and Emmy the Great

[tolywoly]

Jenny and Johnny (Park)- summery indie-pop, with a country tinge. There probably should be an 'alt-' in there somewhere too.

I'd recommend the album as well.

[123ginge]

I'm going to Caribou (park) and then Cee Lo (west holts), which, for me, is pretty awesome, but I don't know about you.

[Dunney77]

The Coral!

[whisty]

[Spindles]

My concern also. DubFX is the best booking (well, maybe after ADF) of the weekend for me, hoping for a good spot in the crowd, hope it isn't too heaving.

[brain yolk!]

WU TANG CLAN!

[Bobs]

I'd go.. Metronomy

Miles Kane

Two Door Cinema Club

Cage The Elephant

The Vaccines

Jimmy Cliff

Morrisey

Biffy Clyro

U2
