Schoolboy Q's album is going down bloomin' well right now..

Would be a hell of a booking for glasto but I don't think much of the bookers have much/any idea about new hip-hop

Ha ha, the freeze frame for that video link makes me laugh- his face is trapped between two bottoms, with a look of absolute jaded resignation

Run The Jewels

Kanye

Nas

The Roots

Danny Brown

Flying Lotus (not really hiphop but associated and would be mean never the less)

Kendrick (hope he's not a parklife exclusive)

Rakim

Wu-tang

Public Enemy

Kendrick was a Parklife exclusive this year, but in the end he pulled out and didn't end up playing anywhere. Get the feeling he'll go back there and headline next summer, hopefully not as an exclusive as he was supposed to be this time.

REALLY hoping he plays Glasto. Would also love Childish Gambino.

My dream act would be The Roots, but I'm not holding out any hope.

I'd also be thrilled with any of the following:

Kendrick Lamar

MF DOOM

Hilltop Hoods

Bliss n Eso

Doomtree

Hocus Pocus

Jam Baxter

Kanye West

Killer Mike

Earl Sweatshirt / Tyler, The Creator / Odd Future

Nas

Mos Def

Outkast

Pusha T

Dizraeli & The Small Gods

Fliptrix

Akala

But somebody has to suggest them every year, just in case.

I live in hope. They've played before, but they're the less likely of my two ultimate acts (the other being Ani Difranco). I think the three issues preventing The Roots from playing is that they are a big ensemble and it must be a big deal to fly anywhere internationally, let alone a one-off festival appearance; they also have very strong commitments in America, not least their nightly commitment to The Tonight Show; finally, I'd hate to place them at Glastonbury. In term of credibility, they're headliner status, but they never would because they don't have the reach or the exposure. I don't know if they'd be happy headlining West Holts.

Yeah, if they were going to go anywhere I'd say West Holts, but not headlining. Same sort of slot as Jurassic 5 perhaps?

Has anyone been to see Chali 2na on his current solo tour. I'm seeing him on Sunday and buzzing for it after hearing him on Lauren Laverne today.

Interested to see what his setlist has been.

Saw him with Breakestra on West Holts a few years back, that was great. I've missed J5 on their last 2 UK tours - mainly just through money issues. Gutted.

I've been listening to a lot of POS lately - I very much doubt he would play though, he's never even done a full US tour I don't think, and I think he's only been to the UK once (might be wrong on that) with the Bouncing Souls.

Yeah, I rushed across from Snoop to catch him that year. He was ace. Would be good to see Breakestra back actually, tight band.

Ditto! I hadn't heard them before but a mate pointed out on teh line-up that Charli 2na was there with them so made the effort to get over. Good to hear a couple of renditions of J5 tunes at that too

Rumours of a TDE world tour next summer (Kendrick, Jay Rock, Ab-Soul, Schoolboy Q). Don't think it'd be a typical booking for Glasto if they came along but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

Also, if they're around Europe in June/ July surely there's a chance of Kendrick, possibly Schoolboy Q too, stopping by the festival.

    • Addison Rae has 33m instagram followers, Slayyyter 667k. Also 15 to 7,5 million spotify listeners with Addison's last release being more than a year ago. Obviously these metrics aren't everything, but still there is a big gap in popularity between the two.
    • Seems like the most obvious choice. Surprised they havent played since 2019 either.
    • My review of All Together Now 26, it was a whopper. https://niallmcquaid.wordpress.com/2026/08/06/all-together-now-2026-festival-review/
    • Yep it was on my list, id have loved to have gone. 
    • Am a relative amateur in the ticket/tech shenanigans and not part of a large group etc. but personally preferred the F5 bashing approach and got through twice in recent yrs (plenty when didn't, mind) - 2023 but it crashed on me at the final hurdle and then again in 2024 where I held my nerve when it crashed again and managed to get.  Think now I am committed to volunteering if doing festivals as that's close to my heart, so happy to help others when the time comes round.   The most impressive I've seen was bus sales in 2022 when 2 mates casually bagged tickets while in San Sebastian, on a phone inside the stadium during a Real Sociedad v Man Utd game!
