SwedgeAntilles Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Not a surprise but fuck, this makes the need for LCD to be Sunday even greater. As it stands it's a tough choice between Sigur Ros and Underworld (Sigur Ros will probably win), but if I end up losing both because LCD are on Friday too it'll be a nightmare.

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Can we now assume that - given that he's not been announced for anywhere else - Auntie Flo is on @ Holts. (Folk also may have missed that Michael Kiwanaku's confirmed for here.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junglist1981 Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 If this is true then there is not a single headliner that I'm currently excited about on the Friday night. Balls. Hope The Park comes through for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balls. Hope The Park comes through for me. I hate it when there's one night with no headliner that particularly excites you, then there are 3 or 4 that clash the following day! I think it's happened twice to me. I suppose if Underworld are headlining WestHolts on Friday, and Blake is Saturday and EWF Sunday, then that means no D'Angelo- looks like he did drop out. A shame- I was hoping he'd headline WH on the Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone else think that Underworld aren't very West Holtsy? Or is that just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last few years they've starting putting on dance acts, and also electronica-type stuff (Steve Blake)- I wish they didn't as that kind of stuff can be found on the Other stage, Silver Hayes, Pyramid etc. It's lost a bit of it's distinctiveness, but then again some of the crowds for some of the headliners were disturbingly minuscule before the change, so I understand why they did it.

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 As long as it's part of a varied mixture of stuff it works for me. I don't see Underworld's digital minimalism / maximilism as being that divorced from anything else you'd see on there. The way the vocals are used as a percussive element, building to tribal chanting, dissolving into cut and paste beat poetry bits and bobs. It's of a keeping. And, as you say, there seldom seems to be the audience for non Western music to top the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I reckon D'Angelo was Friday WH, dropped out and Underworld moved from JP to WH with Sigur Rós then being booked to replace Underworld as they were around at the time. Would explain the original info of only 2 Sigur Rós shows being incorrect, and explain them being on a stage most wouldn't have expected.

They've got different bookers and stuff though so it's not as easy as moving them about a big list of acts. People only had them down for John Peel because someone suggested they need to play a tent - not sure whether out of preference or a necessity - and people ran with it. They're definitely not outside of the normal type of West Holts acts and I think that them headlining confirms that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were booked normally I'd have expected Other Stage. But as the other post I quoted says, they were all on the poster together so my theory isn't correct.

I was listening to Illinois this very morning! Big big Sufjan fan over here, so a similar act catches my interest. Sadly no WH headliners for me this year. Hopefully next year.

With Gregory Porter seemingly confirmed for the pyramid, and Neil's information about Underworld, it's got to be Underworld, James Blake, Earth Wind and Fire, Floating Points, Kamasi Washington, Rokia Traore, Baaba Maal and Ernest Ranglin Unless there's a spanner in the works, which may see Floating Points being elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Need to scrutinise that line up to ensure thy K-Wash doesn't clash with J-Lynne. And I know we're not doing wish lists any more, but I've really been enjoying the new Family Atlantica album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Sir Robin Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 So the one to gawp at is Shibusashirazu Orchestra. Very glad they're getting a bigger stage show as well as Hell (although that midnight show promises to be something special). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
