Avalon Stage lineup announced

[The Nal]

Where do St Paul and The Broken Bones fit into all this then? Thought they were nailed on?

[jcd_lowe]

The Remote Part is probably the best entry point, IMO.

This is their most polished and accessible - and not a weak song to be found. 100 Broken Windows wouldn't be a bad place to start either.

[wosman]

The Remote Part is probably the best entry point, IMO.

I'd agree with that, 100 broken windos is their true masterpiece though. A faultless record

[greenArmy12]

Gonna be hard to pull myself away from the Avalon this year, already my favourite area and now with that lineup think I may ask to pitch me tent there

[MattLeam]

I love this line up! There are a few must see bands in there for me, which is great because I love the Avalon. Great area, great line-up.

[Wanderlei]

Just listened to the Keston Cobbler's Club, and they're awesome. Definitely worth a try.

Not sure how to embed a video but check this out, pretty cool video about Avalon area

No Mississippi Allstars though, Wheren't they tbc? Wonder if they are playing elsewhere?

Where do St Paul and The Broken Bones fit into all this then? Thought they were nailed on?

Both of these concerned me a bit too when not on the Avalon line-up - I assume they're both 'promoted' to West Holts, Pretty sure they'll not have just dropped off the festival altogether

[jcd_lowe]

No reason why St Paul & the Broken Bones wouldn't be a good fit for The Park or JP.

Idlewild! I can finally go and see them!

According to their twitter they are the Sunday headliners.

Never made it to Avalon last year, but this lineup is great.

I'll be there for Lamb and King Creosote, and Ferocious Dog and Bare Knuckle Parade sound great. Molotov Jukebox are always fun live as well.

[mungo57]

This has fiven me what I was after which was an alternative to The Who who are not The Chemical Brothers. And I have always wanted to go see Idlewild. Will give me an excuse to properly check out the Avalon Field this year! Can't wait now, headliners in place for all 3 nights on 3 different stages!

[Brave Sir Robin]

If you want a listen to these, all of the Avalon Stage acts are now on the playlist, in order after the poster acts, about a third of the way down. I'm now adding the Cafe acts (well, those that are on Spotify).

Some great stuff on there that I'd never heard of before.

Never spent much time at Avalon before but I definitely will after seeing this line up!

[Bradders]

Not visited Avalon since British Sea Power in 2009 (missed most of Neil Young, fuck knows what I was thinking), but I'll almost definitely be back for The Zombies!

[cornish hick]

Love it - my favourite area of the site.

3 daft monkeys (and 2/3 Daft Monkeys ), Mad Dog Mcrea, Gaz Brookfield, Ferocious Dog, Hobo Jones, Neville Staple, Soundof the Sirens.

I've been recommended Bare Knuckle Parade and no doubt a few others I shall discover tonight on youtube / spotify.

Bit of Folk / Bit of Ska / Bit of Cider at the Avalon Inn - Sorted

[norainplease]

We always spend a lot of time up in Avalon, so I'm delighted - this line up is an absolute blinder

[Space Shanty]

Lamb could be a must-see, which is great because I don't really spend that much time in Avalon.

King Creosote maybe as well.

Would love to see Idlewild but if they're headlining the likelihood is something else will draw me away

Edit: Just saw Banco De Gaia are playing the Cafe! Fucking brilliant

They are really worth a listen

[Tubson]

Would you think seth lakeman would headline avalon?

[SimplyFred]

Oh I hadn't even noticed that! Their set from 95 which they recorded sounded great.

What time does music normally go onto in the cafe - is it similar to the other stages or does it keep going until late?

[SimplyFred]

Would you think seth lakeman would headline avalon?

I would imagine it's likely to be Lakeman/Lamb/Idlewild but he'd be perhaps the most doubtful

[Avalon_Fields]

I love the Avalon Stage (Who'd have guessed it...)

The Zombies, Raghu Dixit, Seth Lakeman, Molotov Jukebox, Neville Staples, Hobo Jones (For the 5,000th time) and maybe for good fun Lulu.

If you're passing the Avalon Cafe when Curtis Elller playing, please check him out. I promise he is the funniest musician ever, and has some proper good songs too! I'll pledge to buy you an Otter Ale in the Avalon Pub if you don't enjoy his gig....

I don't know to be honest.

Plenty of folks on here will know so they'll tell us hopefully.

Be surprised if it doesn't go on til midnight at least, maybe 1am.

I've seen Banco De Gaia a couple of times at Glasto.

One year I got split up from my mates for the best part of 24 hours with no phone and thankfully one of them had the wit to check out the wee tent where Banco was playing at around 7pm on the Sunday evening where he found me in a fairly shambolic but euphoric state

I think it goes on til around 3a.m. (might be earlier Sunday night).
