2 fine updates!

Ha ha, yes indeed!

A reminder of what this little labour of love is about: a playlist of all the confirmed/self-confirmed/TBC/strongly rumoured Glastonbury 2015 acts, with the 5 songs that crop up most on each act's recent gig setlists/tracklists (3 for the smaller acts), updated as we get news. At this stage it's a best guess of who's going to be there and what they're going to play.

Has anyone ever stumbled across a 'new to you' band on these playlists. And then since gone on to purposely see them perform at the festival?

A few that have got me interested but one in particular last year (Danny and The Champions of the World) had me buying the latest CD and going to see them on the Acoustic.

Absolutely, found loads putting these together. Last year included Shaolin Afronauts, who were awesome, and Crystal Fighters, who'd pretty much passed me by until then - and about whose performance I annoyingly don't remember much... Also useful for bands you do know of course, to listen to the tunes they play most.

Added Palma Violets, Gregory Porter, Mann Friday and DJ Jimi Needles.

Last year:

  • Bomba Estero - absof*ckinglutely chevere on Sonic
  • Lee Thompson Ska Orchestra - on West Holts - fantastic, and they bought on Dawn Penn for No, No, No Nooooo

Almost certainly would have missed them if it hadn't been for Brave Sir Robin.

Added Ben Howard, Wilko Johnson, Phuture, Leon Vynehall, Public Service Broadcasting, St Paul & The Broken Bones, The Voyeurs to Glastonbury 2015.

Thanks for the kind words Chazwozza, Klipper and Chewie. Also very glad to hear people have discovered great acts via these playlists - the quality spread across all genres in the lineup never fails to impress me.

    • If anyone spots any new tour posters on site could they share them please? Hoping for ADTR and Electric Callboy tours
    • It completely depends on how that count is done   if it’s individuals entering the arena each day, over the whole weekend, it was at 30% capacity and in no way one of the highest attended festivals in the UK   it was in no way as low as 30% though so that can’t be the measure, so as a number, with no context, “90,000” is meaningless.   Only one category of Leeds ticket seems to have moved on to second tier pricing at this point. I don’t think this is necessarily a sales indicator as much as a method to keep prices up north lower than down south but with this and the anecdotal video evidence, it’s clear Leeds has been nowhere near its capacity (of 90,000/ day) the last 2-3 years   
    • £56 - £118 was the price range.   Which for an arena show, dare I say it, felt "okay" in this environment.
    • I’m sure someone said on here months back that they self confirmed at one of their gigs, like late last year
    • Yeah Kurt Vile keeps growing on me more and more. DCFC I found solid enough but relatively forgettable unfortunately.
