Absolutely over the moon with this one. Do you think he'd be big enough to be the one to gwarp at on West Holts?

Really hope he's got the full band and choir with him. 

[FloorFiller]

so happy! not only were him and Sigur Ros two of the acts i was most wanting this year, but i'd totally written off the possibility of either of them playing, so seeing their names on the poster was absolutely joyous. gonna be incredible

obviously he's gonna be on West Holts, but how far up/down do we reckon? would prefer him not too far up as to avoid a possible clash

[CaledonianGonzo]

Mid afternoon, I'd say.....

Why did we write him off? I thought he was ruled out for sure, he's the best catch of the day.

Hmm. Lock for Sunday so that's not promising.

Because he's playing a festival the same weekend in the US. Turns out that's probably Thursday - he got added to the bill at a French festival on the Saturday but that flew under our collective radars.

That's the thing about the poster reveal. We're all in here saying "oh act A seems ruled out, and act B and act C won't both be there as there's no room" and then boom! Act A, B, C, N and X are all there.

he's playing an American festival the same weekend as Glastonbury which is usually a good indicator that an act isn't playing. guess it's safe to assume he'll more than likely be playing the Sunday or Saturday at a push because of this though?

I'm wondering this too. If West Holts gives us Kamasi on Sunday afternoon and Sigur Ros as the headliner that same night, we've got the makings of the best ever Sunday night fo sho

Oh shit I was talking about my plans, not yours.

I'll probably see ya boy at BST for sure, if not Green Man or future Glastonburies whereas I'll never stump up hundreds to see beardy.

Sigur Ros can't do Sunday. Keep up!

Sunday Legend's a must see for me almost regardless of who it is. Frequently one of my highlights of the weekend.

aye i would've quite liked to have seen them just because of what an event it is so i do hope they don't clash, but Kamasi wins if they do

[tevaburger]

it'd be cruel if he was on in the midst of a Garfunkel/Lynne double on the Pyramid

[CaledonianGonzo]

Epic Jazz Beard at 2pm, 70s Soft Rock Beard at 4pm. Job done.

That's gonna need to be a Pyramid jobbie for Kamasi to be on that early tho, ainit?

Would need to look back at previous years to see what time other big ensembles like Sun Ra Arkestra, Deltron 3030, etc. hit the Holts.

Sun Ra Arkestra played at 4.00pm. Deltron 3030 played at 2.30pm. i think Kamasi would be closer to the former though, which would be slap bang in the middle of ELO

unless the st etienne thing is true with elo finishing at 6:40 suggesting a 5ish start?

How good a booking is this guy though, fantastic work

I like the cut of this jib.

[blackred]

Possible Pyramid opener? Could make Sunday quite a run, and they did similar with an 'obvious' West Holts act last year.
