The Park 2015

[The Nal]

Gaz Coombes is going to clash with someone good. I know it. Seeing him tomorrow night. New album sounds great live.

And his voice sounds as good as ever. Maybe not being pissed up with Goffey everyday has helped.

B&S are too niche a prospect to sub the Other Stage.

Their absence from The Park is a real puzzler.

i suppose with this huge amount of suitable Park headliners/acts on the lineup, some of them had to be playing elsewhere. i was just sure B&S were gonna be one of the headliners - such a great fit. even more interested to see who got chosen to headline over them now

[zero000]

Have Ought been ruled out? They're doing Roskilde...

Also new UK tour dates (well new to me anyway): London, Brum and Manchester

Looking likely which is why I have held off tickets for the London show. Been mentioned in here a few times, I would absolutely love it. Their LP is incredible. Definitely had the most mileage off of any 2014 release for me, except maybe Are We There.

[big__phil]

I have a feeling Jon Hopkins could headline

I read somewhere that Friday had a Jamie xx - Jon Hopkins - Caribou finish. I'd be thrilled with that if true!

That would do nicely!!

[willsnewman]

That would do nicely!!

No it wouldn't, how could I possibly see this AND Hot Chip..?

[bennyhana22]

Agreed - that would be awful!

Are we not now reasonbly sure that SFA are headlining The Park on Friday?

I could forego Caribou (reluctantly), but I REALLY want to see both Jon Hopkins and Hot Chip.

Oh, and Nils Frahm. When he's announced. Which he will be. Without doubt. PLEASE...

I still think Jamie xx might be on John Peel. I know that we want everyone to be on the Park, but any lower than sub and he'd be playing in daylight, which I really can't see him doing.

[benscheff]

I thought Jon Hopkins had be linked to Saturday.

[Tuna]

Yep, Benscheff is right. His website ha(d/s) him down as Saturday. I agree about Jamie XX, JPT or Sonic could easily house him. Least bothered about Jamie compared to Jon, Caribou, Hot Chip and FlyLo though.

Almost certainly someone on here speculating. Myself, OBFace and many others (many of whom have posted just above me here) have dreamt of this style run on the Friday, for Park or West Holts.

Nils Frahm in the Glade would be beautiful. I'm seeing him on Saturday and I'm just a little over excited. I'm hoping for a whole load of the Erased Tapes lot; Kiasmos, Rival Consoles, A Winged Victory for the Sullen... Not sure if they'll be there though.

In my current position I'd pick Caribou over Hot Chip I think. I will have seen Hot Chip 4 times this year if I see them at Glastonbury and I have never seen Caribou. However Hot Chip on West Holts will be quite something.

I NEED THEM TO BE SEPARATE. And Jon Hopkins I must see, and Todd Terje, and Jamie xx...

His website does have him down for Saturday.

All of this, PLEASE!

AWVFTS are playing Latitude, so I'm still hopeful...

Can you try to ask Nils Frahm about GF on Saturday? Might you get 'close enough'?

Every time I turn on 6Music MAH is on there going on about Nils Frahm. Is she on his staff or something?

I heard she's curating one of the days at the Proms and he's headlining her night so I guess she's promoting him to shift tickets

[CaledonianGonzo]

This feels like it's been going on for the best part of a year!

Kiasmos are at Latitude as well, reckon they've a good chance of being at Glastonbury.

[bennyhana22]

Indeed they are, Lawn, and most welcome they would be at Worthy, too. They're playing the Sunrise, aren't they? My bloody Child 1 will have the chance to see them, but he'll probably be watching some punk shit in the scary tent when they're on!

Last year's best new band for me, Adult Jazz, are on the Sunrise too, and I'd really love them to be at Glastonbury this year...

Was nils frahm at latitude last year. I reckon I saw him hiding from the sun Saturday afternoon I think. Was very enjoyable

I'd be very surprised if Child 1 manages to find any real punk shit at Latitude

With the stages split and running order up at the moment, it's looking like Kiasmos wont be clashing with anybody (touch wood!) so I'm looking forward to them. I've not got around to listening to Adult Jazz yet, think I might have to leave it until after the festival, just in case it turns out I like them, it's going to be clash-ridden as we are. First thing Sunday is already looking like a clash between A Winged Victory For The Sullen and Naomi Shelton's Gospel Queens, I fear things will only get worse.

Yes Friday has potential to be the stuff dreams are made of.

Or absolute clashing hell.

The next few weeks will tell!

[Winslow Leach]

I know it's been mentioned a bit in the After dark thread, but thought it would be good to have it in this thread too, so: what is there happening in the Park at night? Never made it up there after hours last year and I feel like I should correct this.

So Rabbit Hole, Bimble Inn, Stonebridge Bar. What else?
