According to this article The Doritos Band self confirmed Avalon Stage 3 - 4pm 29th June on Channel 4 today http://stagedoor.fm/2014/05/04/doritos-band-mariachis-glastonbury-performance/

Gonna be the first person to complain that they're not a band but an advert by a megacorp. There's a million and one bands from Mexico that they could invite that don't basically exist just to sell crisps.

But they're filling the novelty slot in the Avalon! The whole point is to get a novelty band in that people will like 'heh dat will be a laugh' consider them 3 poofs and a piano or The Wombles of this year. Any other Mariachi band doesn't hit that spot.

Guess it depends if they are just there by themselves or whether doritos will be there giving out freebies

That's unfair they've been a band since 2002

Yeah that. Some advertising executive must have seen them play and offered them a deal... And, really, you'd take it wouldn't you? I know I would.

I bet they'd be great fun and I'll be there as long as there's nothing else on.

Yay Mungo's Hi Fi! Missed them completely last year, this year will be different.

    • Yesterday was another brilliant day of music for me. Some highlights:  My Bloody Valentine - absolutely loved it! Maybe my main festival highlight. I felt submerged in the music with all the layers and distortion. It becomes hypnotic almost as it progresses. Not as loud as some thought it might be, but it didn’t need to be. The visuals added a lot too. During the noise part of You Made me Realise, I was basically in a trance staring at the visual tunnel or whatever it was on screen. Amazing experience. Little Simz - as she mentioned at the start, you’re guaranteed a good time with her. Great performance just like in 2022. Zero complaints. The little DJ section wasn't something I expected but was cool. Kneecap - I had a blast but at this point in the night I was at my most intoxicated let's say, so I don’t remember it as clearly as I'd have liked to!    The xx - The sound for this was perfectly balanced (at least where I was) and the band were great. Lots of talkers, but with the crowd size and being kind of far back, it's to be expected. Intro was one of my favourite moments this year. Big Thief - really good live performers. The lead singer has a lovely voice. This was a nice chill way to kick off the mordor gigs for me.  
    • I've been attending Primavera every year since my first one in 2017 & it's always been my favourite week of the year, but I think things have changed.   Firstly, the site just feels too busy in this current set-up. I'm sure it was a lot easier back in 2017-19 to get between the stages & then a good spot for the next one, but now you increasingly have to sacrifice parts of a set or miss them out completely to plan for later on. I wish we still had the Bits area over the bridge to spread everyone out.   But the main issue is the talking, it's always been here but this year it's been relentless & I just can't tolerate it any more. It's at every stage, and everywhere from the front to the back, there is no escape. Not focusing on nationalities, but a major dynamic now seems to be groups of people who are only focusing on their own good time & aren't interested if this affects anyone else. It seems essential that all members of the group are together at the same time, so it's people making telephone calls, people on shoulders waving phone torches, people barging through. It's alright, I'm only trying to watch The Cure here.   I will have a year away to think about it. I thought might give up completely but yesterday was a bit of a classic day after two unenjoyable ones. Adding Olivia Rodrigo to Baxter Dury, Gelli Haha, The XX, Gorillaz & Kneecap shows how good it can be, but as with everything, it's always the people that have the biggest impact.
