[Flysheet]

Tidy...

[6t6o6m]

Depends on clashes, but I may venture to the Avalon to grab on of the acts that interest me.

He said no on FBk yesterday when asked after putting his Summer dates up.

Nobody replied to his calls apparently

 

edit - Beaten to it by Stuwilky!

He'll have to write something similar to Bean on Toast's Glastonbury no-show song...

A bit meh for me tbh after last year, but still a number of performances I'll go to there at both the Cafe and the Stage. No Dreadzone! Where are they playing this year......

 

Funny isn't it - at this time of year when the line ups come out I always say "I'll go to this; I'll go to that". But when I'm finally there its clash city and its more like "I'll have to sacrifice this; I'll have to sack off that". Coupled with the disorganisation that alcohol brings, I'll be lucky to get in 20-22 performances across the whole site for the weekend.

That would be hugely optimistic for me! 12-15 tops.

This is amazing!

Very surprised some of the acts don't have a bigger stage!

I am lucky if I get 10 acts in over the weekend,

This is a good line up for me. Decided not to worry about clashes until the stage times for all venues are out. Just doing my harsh rating system of 1-5 and then hoping to see as many 5's as possible. 

At 1st glance there's no 5's at Avalon but some very high 4's.  

[danbailey80]

If KT Tunstall gets her new album out before then I'd say The Avalon is too small for her. Will be great but get their early if don't want to be standing outside.

[FuzzyDunlop]

I know very little on there, but after finding the Destroyers on youtube - they look like an act I will definitely try to catch.

What I like about the Avalon is there is generally nothing / very little I know, but I see something worth catching out of the blue.

[wozwebs]

Hobo Jones x 2 for me!! Shame about Gaz Brookfield. Was going to say perhaps its the no 3 years on the trot rule but Hobo have been. 

[Heather90]

This announcement is helping in my aim to venture away from the Pyramid more. Love KT Tunstall! That is today's afternoon listening sorted!

[FloorFiller]

Shame she'll probably be a headliner as id love to see Corinne Bailey Rae. Not much else for me there, although Will Young would be great...

[Gnomicide]

I don't think there's a headliner to entice me from that lineup, plenty of old favourites though and a few already mentioned that I didn't previously know but sound interesting.

I selfishly hope she isn't headlining to be honest, it's looking like clashes are already starting to pile up. One of my best memories of 2010 was seeing her on the pyramid in the afternoon sun. She just looked like she was having the best time. She also turned up at Croissant Neuf that year too so there is maybe a possibility of a repeat?

All in all, I'm pretty happy with that line up.

Shaun.

[pie_and_a_pint]

Lovely lineup for a lovely area  Can't wait for a lounge in the sunshine!

He confirmed on his facebook that he wont be there this year sadly.

Noooooooooooo!!!!

[stutheblue]

Between here and acoustic is where I seem to spend most of my time.

Not going this year but if I was then I would look to see

Beans on Toast

Hobo's

Destroyers

Show of Hands

Definites would be Edward II and Drystones (two lovely lads and great musicians)

Going to Bearded Theory so a lot of these will be there,

 

 

[John the Moth]

Great lineup for me, decent number of acts I'd be more than happy to see

[neil_d]

Great! Some old favourites and there's bound to be acts I'll fall in love with while there too.

See you at Hobo Jones with a cider in hand!

[Cian T]

Best announcement of the lot for me so far, very very happy!
