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.

      Policing is very relaxed, provided you stay within your lines I'd say. I don't think we're supposed to have an event shelter as well as a tent next to our van, but we've done it without issue for years. It's a happy vibe up there.

      Mercury Prize 2026

      By AtomsForPizza · Posted

      Do feel a lot more cynical about the Mercury now. Given the awards show is now an arena event, there's clearly a pressure on them to nominate mainstream acts in order to sell tickets for it. And not saying that Jade and Knats don't deserve to be nominated (haven't listened to either), but the fact the event is in Newcastle can't have nothing to do with that... (not to mention Fender winning last year, which frankly was a joke)    Hard not to agree with this: https://www.clashmusic.com/features/this-years-mercury-prize-is-a-pivot-towards-the-mainstream/
