D'Angelo

[eonerf]

I haven't got a ticket but that's amazing addition to the line-up. Sub before Adele based on the poster?

[Gucci Piggy]

Weird. Didn't even tweet about it.

[shuttlep]

who?

 

 

was he a ninja turtle

[FloorFiller]

Such a great addition, I really hope I don't have to miss him for any reason - me and my friend were just the other day talking about how stupid we were to not see him on tour so this has made our day

[Wooderson]

Thats a West Holts booking I'd wager.

First post. Been lurking here for two years.

This is amazing news, one of my absolute favorite live performers. The vanguards are so damn tight! 

[jparx]

Who else is lined up for West Holts aside from Earth Wind and Fire? 

I think he has to be subbing based on that poster. They aren't going to put a West Holts headliner fifth on the list of acts surely?

We need Neil to wade in on this!

[maarrkk]

just posted this on the updated poster thread but should probably go in here... massive news. everyone who is wondering who he is needs to check him out

start with some tracks from his latest album: ain't that easy, betray my heart and another life.

he also did a track with lauryn hill on her miseducation album and a great track with q tip on the renaissance album (believe) which i'm sure some of you would have heard

I had Sigur Rós, James Blake and EWF, but obviously Sigur Rós are a poor fit for the stage.

[Wooderson]

He's an unmissable addition.

This year is such a headache with who is headlining each stage. I remember it being fairly obvious last year.

[incident]

In terms of West Holts, wouldn't this fit the description "one to gawp at" that they mentioned previously?

[imamazed]

Musically speaking, it's gotta be WH hasn't it?!

Good shout.

[Guy Incognito]

Very pleased with this although I'm now seriously worried about clashes.

[Joshuwarr]

Perfect sunset slot before Adele. Although probably makes more sense on West Holts...

[Gnomicide]

What sort of stuff does he do?

[Bradders]

His last album was chilled funky/jazzy rnb, haven't listen to his earlier stuff.

[Yokel Again]

Not my usual sort of thing but on a quick listen sounds like it would be good with a cider in the evening.

[Joshuwarr]

Robert Christgau, the late great music critic, regarded him as "R&B Jesus". Should give you a clue as to what people think to his music

Picking up signs of sarcasm there

I'd hive him a listen but I've got a Joan Osbourne cd on in an effort to prove I listen to modern stuff.
