What's the issue with adding screens to the stages?

I would like to know this also

[eFestivals]

I don't think I'll be revealing any secrets if I say precisely eight West Holts acts have been announced so far.

I don't know who those eight acts are tho, so feel free to take your pick from the announced names. Yes, some are obvious, but not all of them.

(PS: I don't know with certainty, but i'm pretty sure that Protoje is not on West Holts)

 

[SwedgeAntilles]

I'll start us off with:

Santigold, Baaba Maal, EW&F, Sigur Ros, Lady Leshurr, Little Simz, NAO, Laura Mvula.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Just posted in self-confirmed, but Rhoda Dakar (sings the Bodysnatchers) could be one for WH.

[CaledonianGonzo]

There'll be more than a few mellows harshed if she also sings The Boiler.

Nah ... you've missed two of the obvious with Kasai Washington and Ernest Ranglin.

PS: I don't know with certainty they're on WH, but can't see them anywhere else. The same isn't true with some of what you've listed.

I thought I'd read somewhere Washington was going to be on elsewhere but I must be getting confused with something else.

She's saving that one for Latitude.

people were suggesting that he could also take an early Pyramid slot, but that was more down to him looking likely to clash with others if he takes a WH slot so an early Pyramid slot would be preferable

I doubt Lady Leshurr will be on West Holts. Little Simz might though.

Yup, that sounds familiar! 

[dj_tim]

If only 8 from the poster are on West Holts, I can't see Sigur Ros being one of them. I'd go with: Earth, Wind & Fire, Kamasi Washington, Ernest Ranglin, Santigold, Rokia Traore, Baaba Maal, NAO, Little Simz. I would have said Protoje if it wasn't for Neil thinking otherwise.

[stocky3000]

I would of thought Floating points would have been on there, but there are 8 acts I would place infront of him, hopefully he is on the park 

[theDandy]

I had Gregory Porter and maybe Ronnie Spector to be on there too?

I have a feeling you're right about Floating Points on WH.

[Tuna]

Floating Points on WH will be really good news, if that proves to be true. 

 

FWIW:

Kamasi Washington, EWF, Ronnie Spector, Flo Po, Ernest Ranglin, Gregory Porter, Baaba Maal, & Rokia Traore would be my 8. Vince Staples, NAO and Santigold could all fit in there too, though. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I suspect they might bump Gregory Porter up to the Pyramid...

I'd say that Gregory Porter is likely to be Pyramid this time, but that's just a guess.

ha! Snap!

There's been a few acts in recent-ish years who've gone to the Pyramid via West Holts, and like you I think this is another one.

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

Ronnie Spector will be Pyramid, surely?

[FloorFiller]

yeah Gregory Porter will definitely be on the Pyramid this year i'd have thought. seems unlikely they'd rebook him for West Holts a year later

I reckon The Park for her - in a similar way to Mavis Staple last time.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Yeah I discounted Porter and Spector as I thought they'd both be on the Pyramid 

[OBface]

Where are people placing James Blake? I know he's not a total fit for WH but he's ticked off Park and I thought JP was already busy.

can you fit him within eight acts...? If you can't, then he's probably playing a different stage.
