Long time lurker here, but this announcement deserves my first post. Nearly jumped out of the bath and tiggered! Possibly one of the best gigs I've had a long time back was The Apples, so much energy, I've not sweated and bounced so much before or after.  Scratching Jazzy Funk!

 

The Apples are currently my No.1 'must see' this year. Still a long way to go tho...

This is A Baz Luhrmann moment for me.

Hell Stage, hopefully a late nighter else it'll be a stomp/clash situation for me on Saturaday then. Where did you spot the stage info?

Yeah I agree. They put it on their Facebook page.

Bunny Wailer playing dates in July. Would love to see him here

there's no further full-on reggae to be announced for WH,  so I was told - tho there is something that includes some reggae. From what someone posted, that might be Dub Pistols.

which i'd already told you all.

Not so sure that Underworld are gonna be on West Holts now. The Glade just tweeted me that "the good money" is on them playing the Other Stage on Friday night.

But then again, they could just be playing games, or not sure of the programming for the rest of the stages (most likely)

I really can't see them being Other Stage headliners.

I'm pretty sure they'll be JP or WH.

If I guessed at which without anything further I'd go for JP, but a couple of vague-ish things said to me have given me an inkling they'll be WH ... so i lean towards WH.

Think Dub Pistols might also be doing something at Shangri-La this year. They're definitely playing twice anyway

Underworld and Fatboy Slim as two of the John Peel headliners just doesn't seem to fit right for me.

Aye, Barry mentioned that to one of my mates. But my mate was pretty drunk. 

It went something like this: "We're doing 2 sets this year, one by the Brothers Bar, and one closing a stage" - but he's down to DJ on the Spaceport, so it could just be that.

Well if they're closing a stage that has to be the Glade, doesn't it? I suppose "closing" doesn't necessarily mean "headlining"? That Brothers Bar thing is interesting too

Love the Pistoleros, always a party.

Forgot the Glade has acts that go on well past midnight. That would be a good shout - they were quality closing the Big Top at Bestival a few years back.

My festival recommendation to anybody who hasn't seen them, never had someone come away disappointed from their sets.

My 8 are LCD Soundsystem, Earth Wind & Fire, James Blake, Floating Points, Gregory Porter, Baaba Maal, Ernest Ranglin, Kamasi Washington

Replace LCD with Rokia Traore (if she's not on West Holts I'd be very curious where she's playing) and that's also my pounds worth

Paradise Bangkok Molam Band confirmed for West Holts:

Also, I got talking to someone in the pub yesterday who's friendly with Mr West Holts and while he didn't know the specifics he did confirm that one of the headliners dropped out earlier this year.

Well that's the D'Angelo mystery solved.

It would seem likely, aye.

Ack! 

[FloorFiller]

On the one hand that sucks that he pulled out, but on the other I really didn't need another headliner to add to all the clashes. Would've tipped the lineup in to 'absolutely amazing' territory though. Wish that poster mistake hadn't happened as its sad to know what could've been

booking the stage for 24 bands took 50 offers, so it might just be that the band he hoped to get wasn't get-able.

Does that mean that D'Angelo isn't completely dead in the water? Do you have any info on this? Thanks
