West Holts 2016 - would love to see list

[Gnomicide]

I'd love to see Vintage Trouble again. St Paul & The Broken Bones would be brilliant. I'm also a huge fan of Ben l'Oncle Soul from France, he'd be a great addition.

Would love St Paul and the Broken Bones to be there, was gutted last year when they didn't play after being down as a tbc. Probably my most played album of the last 6 months.

After the likes of Disclosure, Caribou, Todd Terje,  Hot Chip etc in recent years what about these guys?

Not sure if they are big enough. (Edit: Sorry I meant to headline!)

"In white rooms" is one of my favourite tech house tunes of all time.

I would like to see them again.

I am keen on Booka Shade, particularly their remix of the most avant garde No.2 hit single this country has ever had (to my knowledge)

However, I think we're much more likely to see them in Silver Hayes or the SE corner.

Asian Dub Foundation?

Good call, I could get well behind this.

Somebody's mentioned them already, but I really want to see The Atomic Bomb Band. Absolutely fucking brilliant at Latitude last year and Green Man this year, the ultimate good time.

How many years til Chic can be feasibly be invited back? Missed them that night at Glasto but saw them at the Sydney Opera House subsequently and now would love to see them at Glasto! 

 

Probably not this year, I would imagine...maybe 2017 if Nile is still up for it?

[CaledonianGonzo]

I suspect that if and when Chic return it won't be on West Holts - they're more likely to wind up 3 down on the Pyramid.

Asian Dub Foundation?

I've always admired them for the time they played a fairly banging set at the Pyramid and then introduced a song by saying 'remember the number 7'. They then proceeded to play a song in 7 time (maybe 7/8), which had the effect of dispersing the crowd more rapidly than if they'd just have stopped playing.

It wasn't a bad tune, but a bad reading of the crowd, or just an audacious setlist choice.

Caught the Sonics earlier this year and they were incredible, I think would go down a storm West Holts

[TheBurns]

I've given this some thought, and I'd bloody love to see Erasure on there.

Saw them last year they were brilliant! Serious dancing to be done if they play

Sananda Maitreya would be ace

You know what, I've been pondering this for a couple of days, and yeah, I'm in. I'm not sure I'd be full-on Taps Aff, but I could certainly see myself dancing around like a right pillock to 'A Little Respect' etc.

[CHRLY]

Good shouts for Mbongwana Star here. New record is one of my faves of this year.

Almost any of the tunes from Pop! will make a refreshing technicolour alternative to the sepia world of beige and black and white being cued up on the Pyramid.   Feather boas on and shimmy o'clock to Oh L'Amour.

Erasure campaign! Erasure campaign!

this year, on the friday, i wandered down to watch Gaslamp Killer, but it pissed down, so i went into the West Holts bar, just off to the side, which was predictably heaving.  they were playing that exact Erasure tune and everyone was singing along, even to the high notes.
