Will need to listen to their other stuff. Not sure if I should admit this, but I genuinely thought JCB, despite being a bit of a novelty song, was a really good song.

It can still make me cry that song. Reminds me of an uncle.

He came to our flat for an afterparty couple of years ago...first he fixed our Technics in no time, played a bit, than chilled on our sofa while having many enlightening conversations with all the Freqs in the house....a legend, that's what he is!!!

Was at a party in the holylands one night after he had played shine. He was pouring everyone shots from a massive bottle of vodka. Fuck, that was 13 years ago!

Slaves. Already on the line up poster I think but came through work tonight and confirmed Saturday on The John Peel. Didn't give a time unfortunately. One of the most exciting new bands I have seen/heard for a long time.

Edit: Ooh. Not on the line up poster that I can see. Have I actually got a scoop here?

So considering Shangri-La's recent record then it's definitely a scoop. ;)

I wouldn't mind going to see them but I don't think I'm quite on board with all the hype going their way yet. Could do with hearing their upcoming album beforehand.

You get a lot of acts playing Glastonbury going through your place of work. :P

Excuse me, Brave Sir Robin - just wading through the excellent spotify listing which I think is yours - completely addictive by the way - and I noticed Beak> is on there. Despite knowing nothing about them/him/her I've wanted to see them for ages. Noticed they are not on efestivals listing, though. Is it an error (hope not), are they playing under another name, or some other explanation? Cheers

Greetings, talking tortoise! Beak> tweeted "Any Beak> fans going to Glastonbury?" a few weeks back (and to one reply of "no I'm 42" they responded "your the perfect age then"), and then Geoff Barrow had an exchange of tweets with Sleaford Mods which suggested he was playing in some capacity. I'd wager they'll be there.

Probably see on average about one band every night shift, and I do one of those a week. Lots during European festival season.

They all get the same questions:

Who are ya?

Are you playing Glastonbury?

Do you know which slot?

The less pretentious ones often answer :) Drivers and roadies are good to ask as well. Some of them love a chat.

I missed Debbie Harry coming through last year because I was at the festival ready to see Blondie. A bit gutted about that one still, but then I did get to meet Keith Richards, shake his hand and have a little chat about guitar playing about seven years ago. I don't think I'm ever gonna top that particular meet & greet :)

A certain type of manager may consider my actions slightly unprofessional ('specially the posting on here bit), so I have to watch it.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
