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.

    • Having done all three, Porto is lovely, very chilled but nowhere near as exciting as Barcelona (nor as many options). Bilbao BBK has charm but again not a patch on Barcelona really.   ps and the beer was 5.50, not 5, last year 😉 
    • Honest question and with the risk of getting slaughtered, do you feel people should stop the chatting on the entire field? When my group is in the front rows we surely keep the talking to a minimum and largely only about how great or bad the artist is. But surely on the main field when you are further back (lets say around the bars (200 meters from the podium) you should be able to have a conversation. If people are still annoyed about that I would recommend them moving up further.
    • I just genuinely think they don't understand technology and its felt like this since the invention of the internet.   Also see say a speech on a Monday saying we want to be a world leader in "this thing" then on a Wednesday another speech saying "this thing" is bad and needs to be banned/regulated out of existance.
    • My party again had an outstanding 4 days in Barca. We made the right call to leave the festival site early at about 10.30 on Thursday to get ourselves some excellent steaks in the city. I am with everyone that the organization should have been clearer about what is going on and also if you would like to get rid of some attendees open more exits, they sent us from gate to gate until we finally were able to get out. Biggest 'disappointment' was the beer price, a YoY increase from 5 to 6 is absolutely nuts!!! (i am living in Switzerland so me making this comment says something 🙂)   Top 10:   1. Men I Trust 2. Role Model (could have been first as well, what a great artist and great songs) 3. The XX 4. The cure (the last 90 minutes) 5. Gorillaz 6. MBV 7. Ninajirachi (another big miss of the organization, clearly on the wrong podium and wonder if Olivia's surprise set had something to do with that and they had to reschuffle late the Occident, Cupra and Port schedules) 8. NewDad 9. Big Thief 10. Annastashia      We did 3 years Barca now and for next year looking at the Porto or Bilbao festivals as an option. 
    • Personally if it was me now, I would be grabbing a green camping ticket with the knowledge closer when I've refreshed that I can still choose general if I want to....you can't do the opposite!    I would say if you are happy to watch your headliners and big bands further back to be able to see who you actually plan to later then yes it is fine. Its a much difference experience to any other festival especially food wise and camping surrounds.    Once you're in the arena as well you're not going back unless you've got a gap. If I go again I'll be going with the option of not trying to push the front and enjoying further back as you actually put too much pressure on it than the time take away can forget to enjoy other acts.
