Acoustic stage headliners 2016

[CaledonianGonzo]

An out-of-retirement Robert Wyatt.

[ClementsMike]

Paul Heaton and Jackie Abbott were great in there in 2014. They have new material out soon and would do a great set.

[bellboy]

Nils Lofgren.

 

Seen his acoustic set a couple of times and he is a great performer live (and has some cracking songs!). 

[russycarps]

gordon lightfoot

[Rumblestripe]

Jason Isbel.

[addicted2noise]

Not really a headliner but it would be nice to see Richard Dawson on the lineup. 

[dentalplan]

Van McCann

[Andy0808 v5]

Van McCann

If I had been drinking I'd have spat my drink everywhere.

Maybe he could bring his stonefish and the bottlejobs outfit along?

[hoils]

Teenage Fanclub.

When was the last time they played?

 

1993, unless I'm very much mistaken? After Belly and before Suede in the NME stage. John Peel came on with them to kick TFC-branded balls into the crowd and all was well with the world.

 

They're well due a return, but I would have thought more likely to be at The Park rather than Acoustic.

 

As for headliners? I'm going for: 

Heato & Jacqui

Marc Almond

Steve Earle

 

With Katzenjammer, Darlene Love, Matthew E White, Merry Hell, The Young 'Uns, Leon Bridges, O'Hooley & Tidow and Rhiannon Giddens on the line up somewhere. 

 

No idea if any of that is likely but it'd keep me very happy.

_{Steve Earl would be good}

 

_{Did I hear of an Aztec Camera tour doing Hard Land, Hard Rain?}

I think your right don't think they've been back I may be wrong though

They were on around the same time as the velvet underground who were on the pyramid

[FuzzyDunlop]

Not headliners, but I would like Simon and Oscar from Ocean Colour Scene to be in the acoustic tent.

[Cobbler Danny]

The Dubliners!

[thewayiam]

Maybe not headline but I'd like to see Texas make up for this year's disappointment, and to see the Bootkeg Beatles play for more than 20 minutes.

Yeah I'd to see Texas make up for last time and never seen Bootlegs, opted for a BBC intro secret set this time, it was after Lionel so I wouldn't have got there anyway.

Peter Gabriel

Howard Jones

Goo Goo Dolls

Shed 7

OMD

Third Eye Blind

Just a few of my wish list, don't really care which stage

[stuartbert two hats]

What about OMC?

What about OMC?

How bizarre

Incidentally, I was under the impression for years that 80s synth-art band scored a late career hit with a januty up-beat number.

I did think it was bizarre when I heard their earlier work.

I must admit I only know them for that one hit; frontman has since died (googled it, not my immense musical knowledge) OMC that is, not OMD

Not headliners, but I would like Simon and Oscar from Ocean Colour Scene to be in the acoustic tent.

New series of TFI on Friday, I can see ocean colour scene being booked in some shape or form

[blue6field]

Suzanne Vega

[LeeGalvin]

Tracy Chapman?

[Rumblestripe]

Jason Isbell' new album went No.1 in the US Rock, Folk and Country charts simultaneously. This is a stunning song "Children Of Children" about, well listen to the short explanation on before the track kicks in:

 

 

Hope this link works?

id love to see regina spektor on the acoustic stage
