Went to see Young Fathers last night, second time I've seen them this year. Boooooom.... what a show. They're utterly captivating live, mesmerising. They're almost uncomfortably intense onstage. I went with a couple of people who weren't too fussed on record but they were blown away by them.

I hope they do a smaller show somewhere as well.

Hip hop is slowly shaping up a bit this year. I hope nobody clashes (still can't get over two of the very few acts in 2014 going against each other). Mouse Outfit, Doomtree, Akala and Kanye are all great acts. Still really hoping for Ghostface Killah and Earl Sweatshirt, maybe some Action Bronson as well, if I'm being greedy.

I'm not at all familiar with Young Fathers - I must look them up. Any tips?

He could, but why would you want him to? He's playing in an intimate venue, and on the Thursday so clashes are far less likely. I say go for it!

He's a very intelligent, eloquent guy. I want a show that's just him and Killer Mike discussing the world's problems.

I saw this the other night, was really impressed by him in an otherwise mediocre show. It prompted me to check out his music. Was hoping he might be on the bill somewhere. Good news!

And yeah, him and killer mike at the free university of glastonbury or something would be awesome. Great idea.

They're not hip hop in the conventional sense, it's pretty difficult to label them to be honest. They've got a Tricky / Massive Attack vibe to them, really menacing. Their records are good but live they're unreal.

Absolutely ecstatic at the prospect of Doomtree. Always been an act I've wanted to "tick off". What are the chances of some solo sets from Dessa and/or POS? surely it'd make sense to do it since they're there

Just discovered Akua Naru thanks to Brave Sir Robin's playlist, and I'm loving what I've heard so far. Playing a couple of times over the weekend.

Her Glade set overlaps with Run the Jewels.

Why do you do these things to us, oh mighty and terrible lineup gods?

Edit: What am I on, the Glade is about ten minutes from West Holts, I can still catch most of her set. Glory be!

Yeah me too! She clashes with Motörhead, which is a bitch for me. But think it would be awesome on the glade.

Probably end up seeing Kanye, might see RTJ if there's nothing else on. Not really impressed with the Hip-Hop presence this year but nevermind!

Aye there isn't much hip hop I'm interested in this year, but those two that you mentioned are two of my absolute favourites so I'm pretty happy!

Im definitely going to the thursday gig anyway, always liked the look of the rum shack. Just thought a chance he could pop up somewhere else, had a couple chances to see him but both fell through. Was just listening to his fire in the booths again to get hyped! Have you seen him on question time destroying Tommy Robinson, ex-BNP i think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh03JO6EFjo

I'd never heard of this guy til watching that video...

Class. Really liked that

There are a few acts (Kanye, RTJ, Doomtree, Akala, Mouse Outfit) but overall it's a pretty poor hip hop line up in my opinion.

When you think that the following acts are in the UK in the same month: Earl Sweatshirt, Nas, The Roots, Action Bronson, Kendrick Lamar, Wu Tang... it makes it sting that Glastonbury haven't done better for hip hop.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
