Williams Green

[Keithy]

So... who do we think the 'Live Bands' will be on Williams Green this Thursday?

I was planning to stick Hinds in for one but as they're playing Sunday, can't see them sticking around that long so guess it will be someone playing Friday or Saturday. Normally it's an act on the cusp of breaking through to the bigger stages but I've drawn a blank at the moment!

[Sidasta]

Radiohead.

[Calvin Klein]

no chance of Grimes right?

 

Is it usually bands playing on the Friday?

[woolley]

Blossoms 

[jparx]

Weezer

yeah usually the case, and occasionally a band who aren't on the lineup yet

personally hoping it's nobody of interest to me - don't fancy being horribly packed in to that tent for a couple of hours

[Calvin Klein]

We waited for an hour in 2014, super packed, only for the 1975 to show up...we left.

Daughter could be a solid shout.

[Homer]

It was Drenge last year - not exactly exciting either.

I've been thinking Slaves maybe?

[paulmuchmore]

I'm hoping one of them is Savages. Playing Park Friday evening, but there's no way I can run from Foals - Savages and back to Muse. Putting them on Williams Green would solve one of my problems!

[the wonderwhy]

Drenge and Wolf Alice were excellent last year. Great way to start the festival and sorted out a clash. 

Savages and Daughter would be perfect this year although I doubt we'll get that lucky.

Just noticed there is a 3 hour gap on Williams Green on Friday night too. 20:30 - 23:30

[Acid_Haze]

Glad to see Yak there! The new album is really great

This is common I think, it tends not to clash with any of the headliner times

Ah yeah. Just noticed it was the same for all 3 night's.

Moshi Moshi Records posted on Facebook that Nzca Lines, Wesley Gonzalez and Rozi Plain are playing secret sets over the weekend. Could be any of them.

Odd acts to be playing secretly.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra

What makes you so sure?  Any clue which one?

I know one of the bookers.

Not a clue which one just that they've been touted for it and it's most likely going to be them.
