Lovely  Happy to see Beans getting his own slot in one of the bigger tents.

[shuttlep]

the Thingy will be going in to over drive

[Brave Sir Robin]

Well we knew quite a few of those already. Surprised Will Young isn't on a bigger stage/

Good spot for Beans on Toast.

Blackberry Smoke are the Skynyrd types @The Nal shared a while back aren't they?

Good to see the Destroyers back.

 

[p.pete]

No Gaz Brookfield?

[billum]

Excellent line-up: Corinne Bailey Rae is sounding fantastic again with her new album, amongst several others acts here I'll be making a window for in the schedule... very happy. Love Avalon!

[gluther]

Is that Lekido as in, Lekiddo Lord of the Lobsters? Hoping so, sounded like a laugh last year.

First time I have ever seen the Avalon lineup and not been immediately drawn to anything! I am sure I will find something to watch though, once I start obsessing!

Seems to be the only spot he gets. Played there in 2008 also

They are indeed.

Although Skynyrd types is probably an over compliment.

Strong lineup that.  Beans on Toast, KT Tunstall, Turin Brakes.  Awesome. Think I may end up with a clash meltdown this year.

[Joshuwarr]

Yayyyyy Will Young 

[JoeyT]

Updated info on the Avalon page on the website as well.

Field to have the same layout as last year with angle of the stages slightly adjusted to remove sound clash.

[4AssedMonkey]

Show of Hands playing twice I see. 

[Travis Tee]

Great bar there sells Otter Gold

 

[gaxsa]

Hey Hey happy with few on there

[Filthy]

I rarely see even a single act on the Avalon bill that interests me. I love Beans and might see This is the Kit but as usual not a lot. I read so many people on here say it's their favourite area but I've barely seen anyone there in all my years of going. What am I missing? 

[Andeeroo]

Who do we think the headliners are?

[carpdreamer]

Show me your claws!

[dentalplan]

Turin Brakes, The Feeling, Will Young, KT Tunstall and Corinne Bailey Rae on the same bill is like some Pyramid Stage 2007 sorta shiz.

The bars are generally very good around there and personally it's one of the better places to see good new stuff that you wouldn't otherwise get to or make the effort to check out

Turin Brakes, Corin Bailey Rae and KT Tunstall? Or maybe The Feeling?

Molotov Jukebox last year were amazing. And Beth Orton and the Bad Shepherds (not together, that would be weird) a year or so before, the atmosphere in the Avalon when it gets going can veer between tears and extreme joy. A crowd that know what they like and aren't ashamed to show it.

I also like a bit of Will Young. <unashamed>

Would be my guess.

I love Avalon.  Just has a nice chilled out vibe to the place and the bars/café are great.  Not a huge fan of the massive stages to be fair and like the size of Avalon Stage as a venue.

Hopefully I can get to see KT Tunstall again.
