Setlist-based Spotify playlist

[Brave Sir Robin]

Over the last few days I've added self-confirmation Bostich+Fossible, new SRs LCD Soundystem (), Bixiga 70 and John Otway, @thesecretingredientiscrime's tip-off Bicep, and Milos Karadaglic (in the country at the time and told the Beeb he was "open to playing Glastonbury's Acoustic Tent") to the Glastonbury 2016 playlist.

Thanks BSR much appreciated. Didn't go last year but still owe you the promised beer from previous year. Hopefully see you at the efests meet!  Cheers

[HattersBoy]

Thanks BSR, downloaded the app and finally worked out how to use it without premium all this new technology confuses me and I work in IT.

Great list and love listening to all the new stuff, will be my first GF this year and the list is getting me in the feeling.

When and where is the efests meet?

[Brave Sir Robin]

Cheers @chuckles07, I look forward to that somewhat overdue pint!

And no worries @HattersBoy, glad you're enjoying it. It's still early days. To quote BTO, you ain't seen nothin' yet! Check out some of the video threads on here, another great way to get the excitement levels up, eg

 

 

For the past couple of years the eFests meet has been in the bar in the Cabaret field (behind West Holts) at 6 on the Wednesday but @eFestivals will confirm closer to the time no doubt.

Not sure exactly what you mean. If you're talking about the ads, I've heard of ad blockers for Spotify but don't know if any really work. Obviously signing up to premium gets rid of all the ads!

Added new SR Ellie Goulding () to the playlist, and also replaced 4 of the New Order tracks with the remastered versions on the Total compilation, which sound much better.

[Brave Sir Robin]

ELO fantastic news, resorted to taking all the songs on the list and putting them on a memory stick for my car, now I'm rockin thanks again. 

[Astracat]

Brave Sir Robin - you are this cat's whiskers - can't wait to see this year's playlist fill out

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

Added Radiohead to the playlist. Based on The King of Limbs tour, most played songs include 'Feral' and 'The Gloaming' - the scenes if they play a headline slot full of stuff like that .

Put them on a memory stick? That might work as a one-off, but the playlist will grow and grow. You know you can play Spotify on your phone? Even without premium you can still play it on shuffle.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Added new SR Pretty Vicious, four young Welshmen who according to the NME "want to be the next Oasis", to the Glastonbury 2016 playlist.

I can play it on shuffle but to bypass certain songs it only allows me to pass on a few songs. I keep coming back to the list anyway and updating the memory stick with what you have added and it plays much better in the car than on the phone. i know, technially challenged i could use a Aux cable as my kids would tell me!! Just keep them coming though BSR sterling effort, worth a cider if I see you.    

[Brave Sir Robin]

Added new TBC The Drystones, SR Billy Bragg, The Strypes from @T-Mouse's tip-off, and Newton Faulkner from @morph100's spot to the playlist.

That seems like a lot of effort @HattersBoy, but whatever works for you! I look forward to a cider, see you at the eFests meet.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Recent additions to the Glastonbury 2016 playlist are new TBCs Dub Pistols, Jose Zaragoza, Ben Coda, Giles Smith and James Priestly (Secretsundaze), new SRs Chvrches Holly MacVe and forum tips Bastille (@Arcadian09) and Ferocious Dog (@Pear_Cider).

Also added Barry Gibb/Bee Gees from the Sun article - they have a good recent record and seem pretty confident, and updated Coldplay based on the Superbowl show.

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

Added new SR John Grant and Gigatools confirmation Marshall Jefferson, and moved Coldplay up after their kind-of self-confirmation. Feast your ears.

And so it dawns, BSR apologies for my ignorance all good in spotify world now. You are to blame for introducing me to Nick Warren and a host of others which will make my decisions at GF that much more difficult. Keep it going totally amazing. Ooh and now elo on.

[Brave Sir Robin]

No worries @HattersBoy! Glad you are getting the hang of Spotify and enjoying the playlist. Nick Warren usually plays pretty late on so he may not cause you too many clash headaches.

Added latest self-confirmations Mystery Jets and Dreadzone.

Added new SRs Last Shadow Puppets, Yak (superb, if you're a fan of Iggy/Stooges/heavyish retro rock check them out) and and angry ska/folk/punk types The King Blues to the playlist.

A reminder of what this little labour of love is about: a playlist 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 DJs and acts playing the smaller stages), 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.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Given their tour dates and comment on the radio this morning ("we've got 3 UK tour dates... and maybe a little surprise" or somesuch), I've added Earth, Wind & Fire to the Glastonbury 2016 playlist. It's all happening now!

[Brave Sir Robin]

Added latest confirmations/self-confirmations/TBCs PJ Harvey, Years & Years, Seafret, Treacherous Orchestra, Declan McKenna and @whisty's tip-off Son of Dave to the playlist.

Started this up again for this year right here.

TBCs first, which gives us a nice eclectic opening one-two of ZZ Top and Grimes. The other two TBCs, Mister Tooley and The Swingers, aren't on Spotify (at least I don't think any of the acts called 'The Swingers' on Spotify are the right ones).

Then SRs: headliners in order of confidence, Coldplay, Muse and Adele (despite Neil's recent comments about the Foos). Then other SRs in rough order of size: The 1975, Swim Deep, Turin Brakes, Fisherman's Friends, and Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Seats; plus Midland from @Cieran's chat with him (see the Electronica/Dance thread).

To be updated as we get more. As always any comments or suggestions for improvement welcome.

Nice 1 Rich, I look forward to this every year... partly cos I'm a lazy b'strd  & I discover loads of acts. Top effort m8!

[Brave Sir Robin]

Cheers @DAVA, glad you're making use of it (you lazy b'strd!)

Added self-confirmed Years & Years and TBC Denney to the Glastonbury 2016 playlist.

Finally got round to checking this out today. Great stuff, Brave Sir Robin. Cheers!
