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.

      We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.

      Sziget 2026

      By CCester · Posted

      The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.

      Maybe you need a groovy mayor who can get you the money.   Anyway, looks like mayors going to get a whole load of fiscal devolution and greater powers...so best everyone gets one, a decent one, and get a load of Madchesterism.
