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.

    • Alright fair, I thought she only did BST once. Though I do question how that type of pop show will translate to a stadium.      
    • yeah, but I enjoy moaning about them too much so whatever I guess.   and besides... a few years from now there will be absolutely nothing on TV except for Coben based shows so I'd best get used to it...   🙂        (for anyone who has ever read a Coben book - are the books as utterly sh*t as the tv shows???)  
    • Those in the Glastonbury ‘Tour’ thread buying tickets noticed it when tickets first went on sale.   And if you look at the blocks still on sale here https://www.axs.com/uk/events/1489025/muse-tickets?skin=theo2 blocks 410-414 definitely stand out as the only seating areas without tickets available, so appears that they still haven’t gone on sale.
