Acts Touring Around Glastonbury 2016

[Yokel Again]

Carole King would be amazing. Might try to get to Hyde Park even though it is possibly the worst place in the entire world for any gig, let alone this one.

Laura Marling is playing Guy Garvey's Meltdown Festival at the Southbank Centre 10-19 June, surely this year she returns 

Would be a fantastic booking but she has done a pretty good job avoiding the farm for a few years now (despite touring most summers)

anyone catch Grimes in Leeds tonight? Just picked up a ticket for Rock City tomorrow for a tenner. Love her on record but not really sure what to expect live... 

I have a ticket for tonight but due to complicated circumstances (turns out friend has invited someone she's having an affair with along, I'd be a massive spare part...) not sure I want to go. Bit gutted really.

Have fun

AT dropped a pretty big hint during a recent magazine interview, something along the lines of MK being so excited about playing the new material live that he's been playing air guitar in the studio and is 'already at Glastonbury'. 

That coupled with the existing tour dates and festival appearances seems to make it more likely than not they'll be there. 

General consensus on here seems to be either 3rd down on the Pyramid or possibly headlining the JP

Would think it would be something like that, wouldn't mind seeing them headline JP! Caught them a few years ago at Glastonbury, when they did a surprise little set and Jack White made an appearance!

Just have a few swift sherries and leave them to do their thing!

Blackalicious have just announced a show at the Brooklyn Bowl (the London one) on Friday 24th June.

Either I'm gonna be pissed that I'm missing that show because Glastonbury, or they play. Hopefully the latter.

Nice spot. They'd be ace.

[Andeeroo]

Yes to Blackalicious. I'm going to end up disappointed if it doesn't happen now.

Never heard of them.

Got any links? Other posters seem happy so wouldn't mind seeing if they are any good. Thanks

this album (Blazing Arrow) is just fantastic - a really overlooked hip-hop album - and the rest are very good too

[dentalplan]

That's the only one of theirs I have but it's very good and I'm all over that if they show up. The sole European date seems promising, and they're pretty under the radar so it could be a smaller stage too.

In a different direction; another one with a shows right around the festival is Car Seat Headrest. Mon-Thu in Brighton, London, Manchester and Glasgow, and then nada until DTRH in Netherlands on Sunday. Going up the country instead of down is a bother but fingers crossed - the man is excellent.

[Memory Man]

Laura Marling is playing South Bank Centre for Meltdown the saturday before glasto. She has not been prolific whatsoever though and other than 6 music festival has been really quiet. can't see her being there but would welcome being proven wrong 

[sean01]

Not seen his name mentioned (but then I haven't looked that hard), Ty Segall and the Muggers are at Kentish Town Forum 24th June, then Le Grand Mix in Tourcoing, France on the 26th. So Saturday?

[TomViolence]

 

Ty Segall is booked to play another fest on the Saturday too :/

Fingers very much crossed.

Wireless have just announced the worst festival line up in the history of the world 

 

[zero000]

Grimes was great fun last night. Fairly shambolic as expected (she forgot the lyrics about 4 times), but really entertaining. A lot of backing track mind you, but that's excusable given it's just her on stage.

laughably bad, and not even because i don't like the acts - the headliners are just ridiculous. although i will take Miguel, Action Bronson and... nope, that's it

Fantastic, was kind of hoping they'd show up at Glastonbury but I'll definitely see them on this after catching them a couple times last tour. Incredible band, catch them if you get the chance!
