Sunday Night Alternatives

[CaledonianGonzo]

I don't really know much Dexy's and Deezer doesn't have the album they are playing in its entirety (which I've never heard) so not sure really. I think my husband wants to see Metallica but apart from 1 or 2 songs they all sound quite samey to me.

[Ruwise]

Another option could be to check if the crow's next have anything on the Sunday night. From what I recall their line up doesn't show the set that people play into the night and I know some pretty decent acts played there last year but don't honestly know how late they went on.

[Ruwise]

You could check out the first hour or so of Metllica and then mosey to the Acoustic to catch the end of Dexys when they've finished the new stuff and they start wheeling out the hits...?

I'm in the same boat - so much downbeat/depressing stuff at the same time! Basically, if I end up at Massive Attack it will be an admission on my part that the weekend has beaten me and I'm waving the white flag!

Am sure something will come up. Was in the same boat after the Pumpkins last year. A group of about eight of us walked past the Spirit of 71 stage on the way to to check out the non-existent 'secret guest' at The Park and accidentally ended up going absolutely mental to System 7 followed by Eat Static for two hours.

What time are Jagwar Ma likely to be on on the Williams Green? Are they really likely to clash with the subs?

[Flip-Box]

Ah - interesting. Think I'd made a mental note to investigate them further but hadn't for some reason or other. I sometimes find electro-swing a bit gimmicky, but it can be fun live. Could be a contender. Cheers.

Though it's a long way to go to find yourself trapped in a tent with Jake Bugg....

Sunday night is indeed barren. Shame Jagwar Ma aren't on later that night. I must be the only person in the world who preferred Womack's first half. Found the second a bit too cheesy.

Theyve done this to me for the last two years, Sunday night and nothing grabbing my fancy.

This year I think I'll mostly be heading to Gaz's Rocket Lounge for Pronghorn and Hightown Crows. Obviously it depends if you like that sort of stuff,

Pronghorn describe themselves as "The Undisputed Kings of Cowpunk and purveyors of the hardest and finest banjo/fiddle action you'll ever come across."

Hightown Crows are purveyors of "Dorset's finest rockabilly blues".

Mogwai?

Your thread has now changed from 'help me find something on Sunday.' to 'how can I help others on the days I have lots to do.'

[griffpne]

I too was one of the idiots who went up to the Park Sunday last year after hearing Bowie was playing, I knew it couldn't be true but I just couldn't risk it! anyway we then had possibly the best night of the fest just popping in to various places all off the cuff, maybe thats your best option?

Just had a quick look at Parlov Stelar and even though its not my scene I quite liked what I saw.

What am I missing?

*jots names down in little black book*

Though - no bars at (or even near) the Mandala Stage IIRC...?

[Joshuwarr]

James Blake for definite. I ended Bestival with him and it was perfect. I just hope he performs a bit later than the clashfinder guide is suggesting!

[Winslow Leach]

After St Vincent I'm at a bit of a loss too, I imagine I'll hang around for either James Blake or Disclosure, or have a wander.

We saw Pronghorn last year while three sheets to the wind and I enjoyed it - I'd probably keep them in my back pocket for if we're wandering around aimlessly and getting absolutely nowhere.

I'm planning on Antiflag in Leftfield, finish off the festival with a bit of punk.

[LondonTom]

There is no need for alternatives, there is only Kasabian

[KryziF]

Keep forgetting about that one, looks good but doesn't Leftfield finish earlier than the other stages, I think aroung 10 last year?
