Avalon Stage lineup announced

[SimplyFred]

Actually thinking about it The Zombies perhaps could be more likely to headline than Lakeman. Hard to call.

I am proper obsessing over Idlewild now. That was a dream come true them headlining the sunday! Perfect way for me to end my Glasto - seeing a band I have always wanted to see

Saw Lekkido - lord of the Lobsters at the Rabbit Hole in 2013... I can't explain it...It's just fun!

I saw him up there last year while waiting for Credit to the Nation to come on. You really can't explain it can you, but well worth popping in for half an hour of fun!

a lot of mentions of Lamb on this thread. while not a massive fan of them, I adore Lou Rhodes' stuff and i think this makes it conceivable you might get one of her solo sets at the Bimble Inn, where her 2010 and 2013 sets were brilliant (2010 far better).

I've seen them twice already this year and you won't be disappointed

Thanks I'll keep an eye out for that

No North Mississippi Allstars?

Saw them on the rumours for Avalon, been checking them out, bloody ace, not on the roster and still tbc on efest lineup.

[When Jokers Attack]

Idlewild!!

YES

edit: A clash with The Who is awful news for me!

That's a shame, loving a bit of blues. Anything similar on the bill that anyone knows of?

Sad face.

Idlewild confirmed themselves as Sunday nihht headliners on Twitter.

[Leggins]

Over the moon to see Idlewild on the line up. Devastated about the clash with The Chemical Bros.

Shame indeed - saw most of their set last year and very good it twas.

John Fairhurst and Vintage Trouble are both good and heavily blues influenced

[MattLeam]

Loving that Keston Cobblers Club have been bumped up to the main Avalon too, that will be a great show

For those that haven't seen him before, Raghu Dixit is great live. Saw him at the Leftfield a few years back and he was one of the highlights of the weekend.

Echo that - was at Leftfield that day too and one of my most memorable gigs. Great combination of traditional Indian, folk and western music. Well worth catching and definitely on my list along with I am Kloot

*taps mic* is this thing on??

Good shout, cheers.

Gorecki by Lamb is one of those songs I associate with Glasto. About ten years ago the BBC did a great montage of festival clips to that tune and its stuck ever since

[Squonk]

Lamb is down for Friday according to their website. Really hoping they are not headlining as then got a Foos / Hot Chip / Lamb clash

Caught him at one of his 1st gigs in UK at the 100 club. It was a Songkick muck up, supposed to be another band I wanted to see, bought tickets, found it was some bloke never i'd heard of. Though f it, I'll go and was superb as you say. Caught him at Womad later on as well, smoothie that he is

Catch him if you can.

I always think that the Acoustic is my natural home but this year it could well be Avalon. A good mix of old favourite regulars, some new faces and some classics. Not sure The Zombies will be that high up these days but I'm often relieved to find some of my favourite acts lower down the bill as it means less likelihood of clashes.
