Pendulum? Kaiser Chiefs?

[weaz]

Last time I was at west holts for a headliner was Rodrigo y Gabrielle: epic set

Pendulum? Kaiser Chiefs?

[Wooderson]

She's up all night to the sun.

I'm up all night to get some.

She's up all night to have fun.

I'm up all night to get lucky.

That's fucking poetry right there folks.

[SirDaniel]

Pendulum was the first and only time I was genuinely at risk of getting in a fight with someone at Glastonbury. Bad times.

[dan05delaney]

The vibe at Pendulum was funereal.

[Krazypinkminx]

Pendulum was where we watched a bloke flop it out and piss on some poor blokes back and the mat he was sitting on, had to move our group as trouble was on the cards. Only downer at the whole fest.

Anyway, I can't wait to see chic!

[MEGABOWL]

[4AssedMonkey]

was it with the person who forced you to listen to them?

perfectly understandable if so.

[BlackHole2006]

Jeez. Looking at the collaborators list, there is no way that album won't be huge AND probably pretty damn good too.

Re: Jazz/Wor....I mean West Holts, I've not watched much in that field TBH but went to see Cee Lo last time round. The weather was fucking awful, wet windy and cold. Cee Lo was IMO, pretty w*nk (good songs but poor vocal performance). The atmosphere was however excellent. Welly raving going on everywhere, singing along at tops of voices, big smiles. Loved it.

[fatyeti24]

Now now. Stop killing the positive vibes man.

Anyone reckon this new Daft Punk song will be played by Chic at Glastonbury? Seems more of a Nile Rodgers song to me, no loss obviously if it isn't!

[rexclark]

I'm definitely going for the start of Chic and if it's as good as expected then no doubt i'll be there for the whole set.

i'd love if it was but as i've said before i'd find it kind of weird if Nile Rogers / Chic got to play the song live before Daft Punk had played it live. maybe that's not as big of an issue as i'm making it out to be but i would've thought that Daft Punk would've wanted to be the first ones to play these songs that they've been working tirelessly at live first

also seems like Pharrell does the lead vocals on it so unless he came on to do it i can't really see it working

sorry i'll go take my negativity and realness elsewhere...

[eoinca]

There's very little chance they'll play that new Daft Punk tune at Glasto.

I think you're right and for me personally I don't care. I've wanted to see this set happen for years and there's already more songs that I want them to play than they can fit in the set without the DP stuff. So (shrugs)

[LondonTom]

yeah tbh i doubt anybody's gonna walk away from the set in a sulk saying 'why didn't he play the Daft Punk song!?' - and if anybody does do that, they're an idiot

[William of Walworth]

For us older schoolers Nile Rogers was a facking genius back in his day and remains one, his track record in terms of both own tunes and productions of others' is incredible.

I can't wait for this gig and will definitely be there. Chic (feat. Nile) were brilliant at WOMAD (in 2009 I think), and they'll be even better at West Holts with a much bigger crowd going much more mental.

What size crowd can we expect at this set. Never been at West Holts for a headliner. Was heading there for Cool and the Gang last time out but ended up in the naughty corner watching Molotov Jukebox with about 50 other people.

Reason I ask is that we will have our 9 month old with us so wonderring if there will be space for us to sneak in at the back of the field without the wagon getting in everyone elses way.
