When people say he's ideal for West Holts, what precisely are they insinuating? It used to be called the JazzWorld stage, so jazz music and world music. World music is a bloody ridiculous term anyways! Is this a MOBO stage now? 

Talking of stupid labels for music . . .

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 :P

I hate Christgau - his reviews are like someone scuffed up against some fridge-magnet poetry.

He's not 'late' either...

This is amazing. Unless he's headlining a stage on Friday night against LCD Soundsystem, in which case it's a cruel, cruel booking. 

Twould be harsh to take, indeed.

I like West Holts. I don't like slightly dreary r n b. 

Mind you, I bloody hate Bryan Ferry too, and that tossbag headlined it a couple of years back! :lol:

basically, what I'm saying is: give West Holts headliners that I myself want!

Just watching a performance of D'Angelo on youtube now, this is absolutely incredible.

Seem the words 'dull' and 'dreary' mentioned for him. No chance he is unreal live and will destroy Pilton!

Said earlier on that I gave him a listen a while back when people were raving about The Black Messiah and didn't enjoy it. I've just listened to it again now through proper headphones and really enjoyed it.

Watched that video earlier that people were on about (Untitled, I think) and thought it was lame.

I am really pleased to see there is some love for him on this thread, this is a brilliant booking and I will see him wherever he plays. Personally I think he and his amazing band would smash the Pyramid.

They would, but to an unappreciative audience who'd just talk through the entire thing and have forgotten he ever played within ten minutes of him finishing. Would be such a waste when there are oh so many stages where he'd go down a storm.

      Way Out West Festival 2026

      By joselito · Posted

      I think we still have 2 acts to announce each day, maybe one more big name to complete the lineup?   Perhaps the big name is Turnstile on Thursday, which isn't sold out yet. And some other names that could be added like Iceage, Band of Horses or Tomora.

      Live gigs - Who you've seen were they good, bad etc.

      Saw David Gray 8 times between 2000 and 2025 (including one solo acoustic performance in Wexford, IE, 2017) and he always delivered. I enjoyed every show, never felt bland or let down an iota. To each their own. Yeah, it’s just that he’s not your cup of tea I’m afraid.   Agree that David is a bad dancer though lol.

      Tour Announcements & Upcoming Gigs

      By northernangel · Posted

      Its massively bonkers the cost now amd it means missing out on some gigs but buying into only promotes it. Im more annoyed at gigs that are cheap that I have to resist as I'm far too tired after work.

      Yeah I mean first time seeing them sure, I was the same in 2010. Their arena tour got a bit boring, it was like just get on with it. Feeder being in a tent was silly really, there is a difference between being around 4th down on main stage snd then moving that crowd into a tent.
