Glam it up - West Holts

[FloorFiller]

that's a shame that she's headlining the Saturday as i would've quite liked to have seen her

Lana Del Rey and 'glam it up' didn't seem right to me but that just goes to show how much i know!

[eFestivals]

As I posted my comment this one arrived - is it a definate then?

she's definitely doing Glasto, and definitely the Saturday.

Given the match with the photo that West Holts put on facebook I reckon it's west Holts for her.

Ah great news. Not too bothered about Metallica or Disclosure, so that will be my Sat night sorted if she's headlining.

[Trebor]

Fucking hell, I hope there's someone decent on at the Park that night.

Hmm- I'm not trusting your instincts on this one-I refuse to believe she'll be headlining West Holts! (though that's mainly based on me not wanting her to!) I think she'll be Pyramid or T'other...

ever since West Holts put up that pic I've thought it was about Lana Del Rey .... the fact that she has a matching date just about confirms it, I think.

If it is going to be Metallica, Disclosure and Lana on the main three stages it is a wide range of styles so would make sence. Add JP, Acoustic and Park headliners I'm sure there will be something for everyone. And if not just get pissed (or whatever you like) somewhere and have a wander around

West Holts theme for the whole night is 'Glam it Up' so she might not be headlining. Is she 'big enough'?

Who else might she sub for or who might sub for her?

[Greenelk]

One of the most uninspiring headliners yet if true. Last few Saturdays have been really energetic, exciting performers -

2013 - Public Enemey

2011 - Big Boi (proceeded by Ms Monae)

2010 - George Clinton with Parliament-Funkadelic

To follow that up with her dreary drone seems like a crime!

Still, plenty else to do, as we all well know.

going by the (contemporary) headliners of recent years, there's probably not that many who have out-sold Lana. So she probably is big enough to headline, I'd say.

If I'm completely honest, I half expected her to be one of the West Holts headliners last year.

those two might have been "energetic, exciting performers", but they both drew tiny crowds.

Lana Del Rey headlining West Holts doesn't seem quite right to me. maybe i'm wrong, but her music just doesn't seem to gel with what's usually on West Holts. despite having slight RnB / trip hop influences in there, it's pretty straight up pop. reckon she'd seem far more at home on Other or John Peel (or even Pyramid) (and hope Neil's wrong as i'd like to go and see her)

[Greenelk]

Maybe because of who they were up against.

Where/when did she self confirm???

'she' didn't. 'Her people' have done, and quite publicly too.

[eFestivals]

some people seem to think she's she and too small, and others think very different.

Here's a quote someone just posted in the Lana topic:-

Wow...gutted I've not got a ticket!

West Holts? Surely not as she'd pull a massive crowd

And anyway, what do people round here know? Some people think that Prince is a massive act.

[FloorFiller]

she'd pull a massive crowd if she played, say, mid-day on Other. on West Holts against whoever's on Pyramid and Other (and the rest)? can't imagine her crowd would be that big. maybe her new album release will change it but the initial hype surrounding her seems to have long gone now. no doubt there'll be interest in her, but headlining West Holts just seems an odd placing of her to me

Are we expecting Glasto to officially confirm this now? like they did with the black keys self confirmation?

no idea. I'd guess not, because the del Rey thing isn't widely known of, yet.
