I'd like to see them on the main/other stage during the day. It'd be so fun in the sun. But they'd also be a great WH headliner. Would see them either way.

[bsolxiv]

Yes. You missed the fact that they are playing

I think the general consensus was they are probably a West Holts headliner...

[FloorFiller]

Am I missing something? Where is Glastonbury listed on their tour dates?

[CHRLY]

Probably clashing with arcade fire then, would have liked to see them but ah well

an early pyramid slot like the wu-tang clan/snoop/NERD slot is just as possible as a west holts one. I like the early doors hip-hop slot they should bring that back.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

actually, that's just hopeful thinking. bring back the early hip hop slot!

im all for the friday afternoon hip hop slot, but its not really a thing is it? ive only been going since 08 but there was only snoop and wu tang as far as i can remember. would have loved public enemy in that slot last year, them against the stones was my worst clash by far

[Badlands]

NERD played the Pyramid on Friday (tenuous I know)

Lupe played West Holts on Friday (even more tenuous I know)

Lupe was great, his speech at the end about Jay Z headlining was cracking. Great set as well, loved his first two albums.

So I like J5 but Hip hop has never been my thing. Anything similar to J5 that I may like?

[Vieuphoria]

The Pharcyde played last year. Some similar things going through both acts. Maybe Del Tha Funkee Homosapian. It's best to check out the J5 solo stuff and work outwords I guess.

[Gnomicide]

Just started listening to these, bloody marvellous.

Need to do some digging.

Ugly duckling ?

[kalifire]

There's nowt wrong with hip hop, I'd say it's roots represent the most important of all genres aside from the blues. Sadly, hip hop has become a bastardised travesty of it's former self these days, but there are still great artists. I'd dearly love to see The Roots play one year, They could easily headline/sub Other.

Ugly Duckling

Dialated People (first album)

Blackalicious

Deltron 3030

MF Doom

I've got more but I've only just woken up and my brain feels soggy.

they're not that similar but if you like the feel good hip-hop vibe of J5 I suspect you'll like The Roots. More instrument orientated with a jazz & soul influence but a great blend none the less

I stupidly missed them at Bestival last year and i'm beginning to think i'll regret that for a long time

I've always been more into rock/indie/grunge, etc, but have gotten into Hip Hop in the last few years more and more. I went to see J5 in Birmingham last year, and have to say, they are by far one of the best acts I've ever had the privilege to see. Get any of their albums, and you're in for a treat - and live, just amazing - everything about them - the atmosphere is just so laid back, but at the same time, so up for a good time, the music is laid back and smoot, but with the greatest flow, precision and skills, and at the end of it, they're such great guys (they all stayed behind to meet fans, chat and sign stuff for everyone). Can't speak highly enough of them, and if you're not into hip hop, but want to try - there's no better group to get started with!!
