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.

    • Judging by last night at Wembley, Luke Combs should be in the conversation of headliner. The UK is having a moment with country music so I don't think it would be particularly left field either.

    • It feels really busy this year, loads of big groups of youngsters too. Slightly different vibe to previous years I've been. As with Tramlines, they're very chatty during sets and there's a constant stream of them in and out of the crowd... definitely feeling my age 😂   The Quarry stage I think is a lot smaller than previous years - seems similar size to Squid/Leadmill. Some sets have been difficult to get in.   I think I've reached my limit with mid-tier indie guitar bands. There's been quite a few this weekend where I've gone over to see them then walked away after 20 mins. Surprisingly, enjoyed the Fratellis set the most in this genre. Probably getting on for 20 years since I last saw them. Wasn't expecting them to do Yes Sir, I Can Boogie, which was fab!   Hugely enjoyed the Happy Mondays yesterday, and same but different with Radio Free Alice who I saw again on Friday, following Tramlines last weekend. A big run of pop acts today - Scissor Sisters will be fantastic!
