The Park 2015

[sjseabass]

They just played Ice Cream on the radio - Battles to headline? Seems pretty feasible if they get their new album out soon.

I'd be all over that

[Woffy]

Pretty much all of them yeah!

Summerteeth has Cant Stand It, Shes a Jar, Shot in the Arm, Via Chicago.....

Crazy isn't it? Same time between the end of WW2 and Elvis. Way too long.

That is my fave factoid of the day so far.

Me too, but I wish Tyondai had stayed in the band. Mirrored just has something extra special about it. Their peformance in 2008 at The Park is still one of the greatest sets of live music I've ever seen.

The jealousy is real.

I honestly don't know what I'd have done with myself if I'd been there that night in '08. Hot Chip into Massive Attack on Other, Battles into CSS on Park, or Futureheads into Biffy on John Peel...my word.

Reckon East India Youth could make the step up to mid-Park? Do agree it might work better in a tent though. William's Green last year was stunning, even at 2.30pm.

I hope he does, I feel like a really dropped a bollock by not watching him perform at all this year, after ample chances.

Headlined the 3rd stage at Green Man this year and was stunning. My number 1 set of a very high quality weekend. That was outside, and it worked incredibly well. Saying that, it was dark, and I guess mid-line-up on The Park would be a very different proposition. I just hope he plays somewhere at Glastonbury next year, as I am desperate to see him again. He was that good.

Could definitely see Run The Jewels either on The Park or West Holts.

[01seb]

The Decemberists have a new album out in January. Are they a chance to headline or sub The Park?

reckon they'd be more likely for John Peel myself, a-la Tyler, The Creator and Chance The Rapper. 'Pitchfork rap' if you will (although i suppose Danny Brown was on the Park and that worked superbly). i'd be there either way. new album is incredible

Think I've mentioned him in here before, but Dan Mangan's album is out in January and he's touring the US at the minute. Surely a credible hope for the Park?

Another cool Wilco video!

As ever, apols if mentioned earlier in an increasingly enormous Park thread...

What about Beirut for the Park 2015? New record is pending, iirc, and I reckon having headlined some medium sized festival's main stages, they could comfortably headline The Park.

Frankie Cosmos would be great on the Park.

Just thought I'd let y'all know.

I'm hoping for a bit of Deptford Goth, Max Jury, and maybe that William Oneyeabor thingy

that William Onyeabor thingy is more fun than anything has any right to be.

That would be incredible. They had a very short UK visit this year I think - only did Green Man Festival and a gig in Mancheste if I'm not mistaken. Long overdue a few more UK shows.

[CHRLY]

Godspeed are doing two uk dates in April. I'm gunna go to the Manc one but does this make them unlikely? Well I wouldn't say they were ever likely but, you know.

[Drinky]

I'd like to se Stars back at Glastonbury and the Park seems like the natural place for them given their cult appeal... that said, their new album would work better either after dark or in a tent, and given that they're not all that big, perhaps they'll be in the John Peel again.

I've been suggesting them for Park headliner for a while now. Probably won't happen but can you imagine?

Oh my, now that would be incredible!

Now, you singularly failed to answer last time, WL - is your user name related to the near-Buckingham Winslow?

I do remember you putting it on here. Would be incredible. Are you gonna go to one of the April shows? Edited November 9, 2014 by CHRLY

Sorry mate, I don't remember you asking before! It isn't, I'm afraid, it's a Phantom of the Paradise reference. I'd watched it just before setting up this account. It was either 'Winslow Leach' or 'Rex Banner.' I do sometimes wish I'd gone for the latter.

Awww, shame! I crashed my Mum's car just outside Winslow when I was 17. Mini Metro. She was in France. Awkward...

Anyway, would still bloody love it if GY!BE played next year. I honestly think I could happily just let the rest of the festival pass without me worrying about many/any other must sees, if that happened. Special, would be an understatement.

I may have to. Don't really have the money, but that's no excuse!
