West Holts headliers

[theboytaff]

So this is still pretty much up in the air. What's everyone's thoughts? I would have thought Seun Kuti could have headlined, but as he's playing the Saturday and that appears to be Bryan Ferry who do you think will be the Friday and Sunday headline and sub acts? De La Soul maybe? Rodgrigo y Gabriela?

[dentalplan]

Disclosure is one of those.

[eFestivals]

One is Disclosure (Sunday I think), and because I seemingly managed to get many of the other possibilities ruled out, I've ended up concluding it's probably Robert Plant and whatever the band is called (I forget).

[Badlands]

Is it worth speculating that one of the headliners may not have been announced as playing yet?

[theboytaff]

Ah. Well if it is Plant, Ferry and Disclosure that wraps up the most disappointing West Holts headliners in years. Massive grumble :-(

[dentalplan]

Well RP's website and Facebook page has him down as playing the Saturday. ITB says he's on Friday though so I dunno with that one.

They had a bit of a hippity hop day last year didn't they? Could do De La Soul subbed by Jurassic 5 on the Friday? Or just go with M.I.A.?

if everything I was told was correct, all three headliners are within what's already been announced.

I remembered many of the acts and got told "no, not them", but Robert Plant was one of those I missed. Which is why I ended up thinking it was probably him (it's not a rock band, it's very world-y).

[Memory Man]

as long as jurassic and de la play over there i could care less whether they headlined!

So Metallica, Pixies and Robert Plant (and the Sensational space shifters) could all clash? That's painful....

I thought one was announced as MGMT?

No, Saturday West Holts is supposedly Bryan Ferry & The Foxhunters.

I might be lying about the name of his band.

That's the first idea for a flashmob that I've liked.

Orbital headlined the 'Jazz/World' stage in 99, so it can happen.

that was a combination of lots of different circumstances. They weren't actually an act that JW was wanting.

Still, I got to go and see them at Bristol's Coulston Hall for free as a result of that Glasto show (under the guises of a pre-production meeting), so it wasn't all bad.

[A Guy Called Matt]

I love the poster and the way those acts thought to be on a certain stage are not all listed together............. I have a feeling that there are some other headliners or subs still to come apart from Metallica of course!!

and then there are the 2 new stages, how big are they I wonder?

[eFestivals]

but Robert Plant is supposedly Saturday somewhere. If you're saying Ferry is headlining WH, where do you have Plant?

how about before Jack White on the Pyramid?

if you look in different places, you get told different days for when he's playing. His booking agent's website says Friday and I'm inclined to believe them over all others, as keeping accurate diaries for acts is an important part of what they do.
