The Mothership return...

[sinhala]

Think it gon be a par-teeee

[garc1a]

Difference is from last time it will be mixed up with family stone numbers, it's got potential to be a cracking one off set.

[Winslow Leach]

Is it a one off? That will make my decision even harder.

[WS_Jack_III]

On jools holland next week too..

Didn't know that, need to check that out.

[funksoulfever]

they are gunna be awesome, shame prince isnt there as he coulda played with them

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Same, absolutely torn between them.

Yeah, me too.

I think I'm just going to have to decide on the night.

[Lockstock]

I can't think of a better way to avoid Kanye, if it turns out to be a clash. I'm bringing flared trollies to da party.

[When Jokers Attack]

I'll be there unless SFA are headlining somewhere. don't even want to think about that clash.

[morph100]

they are gunna be awesome, shame prince isnt there as he coulda played with them

He could be there, if he is the third headliner he will almost certainly pop up here as well.....

[DJL]

My thoughts exactly. As long as they don't clash with belle and sebastian or chemical bros. i'm definitely there.

[dondo]

One word of warning - I was super excited to see them when they last played, but after the opening 10 minutes of 70's rock-god style fretw*nkery I left in disapointment.

Yes I remember being very excited going to see them in Manchester a good few years back and was very disappointed due to this kinda stuff. Probably goes down as my most disappointing gig I've been to

[sime]

I'm hoping for Saturday night headliners. I saw Clinton and Funkadelic at Bestival. Really liked them. Looking forward to seeing them again. Might see the opening of Kanye beforehand though out of curiosity.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Might see the opening of Kanye beforehand though out of curiosity.

My current thinking, provided it's not clashing with anything unmissable elsewhere.

[MichaelsBeard]

Listening to Funkadelic on the bus to work. These are gonna be great.

[cassiel1972]

Is this gonna be a Chic-like good time night on West Holts??

It won't be quite the same as a Chic show. Nile plays short, sharp pop songs. George and co like to jam. That said, both are drawing from inspirational back catalogues that, basically, laid the foundations for most 'urban' music today. And both are drawing from recent homages/collaborations which have propelled them back into the public consciousness. It needs to be said - loud, proud and often - "Uptown Funk" is, to all intents and purposes a G. Clinton knock-off. Plus, The Family Stone collab. will add another dimension. George and the Band and the Family Stone blasting through "Dance to the Music" will tear the roof off. Guaranteed.

[cassiel1972]

Isn't it open-air?

West Holts stage has a roof doesn't it? Expect to see it torn off.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

West Holts stage has a roof doesn't it? Expect to see it torn off.

Nope, it's open air

[A Guy Called Matt]

West Holts stage has a roof doesn't it? Expect to see it torn off.

Nope, it's open air

I think it refers to the actual stage not the arena

[rikkirascal]

Best set I've ever seen at Glastonbury. Definitely. Blew my mind.

What I do find interesting is that there is far more interest in them now, then there was in 2010. Why is that?

[cassiel1972]

Nope, it's open air

I mean the stage - the big, shiney, covered platform with lights attached where the musicians stand. That has a roof. Capable of being torn off.

My guess is it's to do with "Uptown Funk", which is basically a G. Clinton rip-off.

[rikkirascal]

Yeah could be. Also the likes of Lamar and D'Angelo have started to produce songs like Funkadelic & Sly. Which is great.

I dragged my mates there to watch him last time, begged them to stay but they did exactly the same thing. I stayed on my own and had a ball. Serious party time

[Zoo Music Girl]

Always thought "tear the roof off" was a figure of speech myself...

Excited for this as it sounds like fun. Hoping for Saturday!

[funkyuk]

absoluste highlight of the line up for me, though my biggest fear is this:
