Coachella

[home to you]

+1 for Beck and My Morning Jacket. Would like Spoon to play also.

Edit: Quite surprised to see Paramore still touring

Another +1 Beck and TV on the Radio would be great, where do we reckon Beck would play? Sub Other Stage?

[FloorFiller]

i never know where to place Beck on the lineup. he's a weird one. great to see he's touring though - was worried i'd missed my chance of seeing him by not going to Bestival last year. fingers crossed

[zero000]

Beck at Glastonbury would be amazing, he was fantastic at festival number 6. I could see him as a West Holts headliner.

[OBface]

Hadn't considered Beck as a possibility for Glastonbury, would be great for me as missing Bestival last year was made worse by his appearance.

Not sure where I'd place him either, West Holts would be great but not sure he is natural fit.

[FloorFiller]

Day time pyramid - which would be a shame. Or headlining park, jp or acoustic which could end up being too busy.

i don't see him on the Pyramid myself. don't think he's had enough recent success / lasting success to really hold a crowd there. i'm with zero in that i think headlining West Holts would be best. he may not be the best fit for it but it just seems right to me

[russycarps]

Beck would headline the other stage I reckon.

not nearly big enough these days. it'd be brilliant but he only headlined the second stage at Bestival (and on the Thursday, no less) so i don't think he could do the same for the much bigger Other

you think? I thought morning phase was well received and sold lots? I'm probably wrong like

yeah now you mention it i just looked and it reached 4 in the charts which i'd totally forgotten about. still unsure of him headlining Other though. i just don't think he'll have a big enough pull with the Glastonbury crowd. would love to be proven wrong though as the man has enough great songs to fill that slot ten times over

[CaledonianGonzo]

Size wise I think that's perfect but they'd never book him - unless eavis told them to like Brian ferry.Hes not the right fit for west holts.

An upbeat, hit-filled set with more focus on beat-driven hip-hoppy albums like Odelay and Midnite Vultures than melancholy balladeering. I don't see why not.

A Morning Phase-focussed set, not so much.

I was still finding a spot/pitching my tent when he was on at Bestival

So yes would love him at Glastonbury, would headlining John Peel be out tottally out of the question? Think the smaller/enclosed space would suit him more than the Other stage.

I am really not sure how big he is!

Agreed. Debra is my all time most favourite karaoke song! Would be smashing to hear it at Glastonbury (sung in tune )

Have any of you beautiful people been to Coachella? is it anything at all like Glastonbury? or just a pretty V Festival in the sunshine?

[mrtourette]

I haven't been but after reading a number of the annual threads apart from the music it appears to be more like the latter.

[DJL]

I think beck subbing the other sounds about right to me, maybe 3rd down

[Slugworth]

It looks crap on tv. Bit like V.

about the only similarity to Glatonbury is that there's bands and stages there.

V is more like Glastonbury than Coachella is.

at least at V you can bring a drink to a stage and don't have to drink it in designated bar areas...

Which is pretty much what he's been doing:

Festival No6:

• 1. Devil's Haircut
  2. Black Tambourine
  3. Loser
  4. The New Pollution
  5. Hell Yes
  6. Get Real Paid
  7. Think I'm in Love
     (with snippet of I Feel Love… more )
  8. Blue Moon
  9. Lost Cause
  10. Chemtrails
  11. Wave
  12. Soldier Jane
  13. Girl
  14. E-Pro
  15. Encore:
  16. Sexx Laws
  17. Where It's At

[FloorFiller]

no Debra if he plays, he has to play Debra! great setlist though. i think he'd nail it headlining West Holts

[DJL]

It makes me so angry when they do this... and then wonder why everyone takes drugs? They must make a lot less money on the bar, makes no sense.

We're definitely missing out on that one:

Bonnaroo announce their line up at 11 and a load of their line up last year also played Glastonbury.

[Jakkkkobz]

Its from the 11th to 14th of June just to clarify.

It'll be interesting to see who they've got, but there was very little crossover last year: http://d2j6ndaroqwcar.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/content-files/images/Broo14_AdMat_RGB_v8.jpg
