First act Friday

[bsolxiv]

I know it all kicks off way before then, but I love choosing the first act I'm going to see on Friday to kick the weekend off proper. Last time it was Narusirito on the park stage, who were just the thing to shake off those muddy blues. Am struggling a bit this year though, any suggestions?

Swim Deep on John Peel

[Sketchead]

HAIM on Pyramid of Jake Bugg on the Acoustic

[fightoffyour]

The TBA first on Other, if it's someone I like, since it's before The Hives anyway.

[graham1030]

Hives!!!!!!!!

[When Jokers Attack]

Got to be The Hives.

[ninetyeightytwo]

Francoise & The Atlas Mountains appear to be opening John Peel. They're gorgeous - sweet French vocals over a soft afropop-influenced backing.

But I'm likely to just take it easy until The Hives come on.

[Matt42]

HIVES then shikari and I might see Haim idk i'm torn.

[TheSeventhOne]

Probably The Hives for me too.

[sinhala]

Skanking start to the festival with Guns Of Navarone on The Summer House stage in Glebeland - depending on the state of Thursday night's hangover that is !

[James Bolivar]

Haim - on the Pyramid.

[Leggins]

Haim - Pyramid

[Scotrsman]

The Hives for sure, then Amanda Palmer and the Grand Theft Orchestra.

[ian_sw]

Haim all day long

[LondonTom]

Looks the hives for me to

[Zoo Music Girl]

Are Haim and Hives clashing do we think? Was going to accompany my friend to Haim but Hives know how to get the party started.

[Arkady]

Toumani Diabate on the Pyramid! He's a genius, and his music is just beautiful. One of the greatest Malian musicians. It will be chilled out, so not too frenetic a start.

[Mardy]

Probably Martin Stephenson & The Daintees, 5pm on the Friday in the Acoustic.

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Suspect Hives is going to be heaving. One of the highlights - and so early

[FloorFiller]

The Hives for me. will surely put on a fantastic show and put me in a great mood for the rest of the day. whilst i enjoy Haim, they have like... three songs to their name, and one of them isn't Two Timing Touch And Broken Bones

[CaledonianGonzo]

Tough one. Toumani Diabate v.s Hobo Jones vs. Francois & the Atlast mountains vs. the Afrobeat Orchestra on West Holts.

[The Nal]

[Gnomicide]

Hobo!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Any word on whether he's playing solo or with a band? If he's on his todd it probably will be tad too over-chilled to kick things off for yours truly.
