Nope.

But three quarters of Talking Heads have now played Glastonbury, because Chris & Tina also did with Tom Tom Club a few years ago.

That was a good gig. Saw them in Dublin shortly after (or maybe before) and was also really good.

Glasto was the 4th time I'd seen them, I think - and was the best of the lot.

Rose Royce.

We've had Chic, Kool and the Gang, EW & F; surely its time for some car wash?

 

[Trout Mask Replica]

Watching The Temptations on Jools Holland just now. They've still got it.

Crossed my mind they'd make a great top bill on WH Sunday night.

[marcoolio]

I saw The Four Tops & The Temptations a few years aho. If I recall correctly, they each had only one original member left. Still a great show though.

 

ETA: This line-up is so much more complicated than I imagined, it has its own Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_Temptations_band_members

Could Hacienda Classical play West Holts or possibly headline, considered they have announced gigs in Glasgow, Albert Hall and Manchester tonight. Hearing an orchestra do some House and Hacienda classics would go down a treat

i saw, from a distance, the Irish equivalent at Electric Picnic this year.  Jenny Greene and the RTE orchestra.  i don't know how much local factors came into play, but it was heaving.

We need a West Holts legends slot for these guys.

Can you imagine Sunday afternoon with a pint of Brothers and The Temptations. Yay!

[CHRLY]

I'm off to see Matana Roberts on Thursday. Isn't is about time she was given a slot?

[nowyouregideon]

I've seen a few people put Justice at the top of WH in their predictions. Is that viable? With my Daft Punk dreams now squashed for the fifth year on the trot I'm hoping Justice will show up at some point over the weekend. I always assumed they would headline JP myself.

[CaledonianGonzo]

There's nothing to suggest that it won't happen, but unless I've missed it there's nothing particularly to suggest that it will.

Me and my friends have been struggling to place them. I have a tendency to think bands I like are more popular than they are! But I guess it kind of depends on who else is booked for other stages. 

 

Their new stuff sounds incredible!

Well, they have a new album out and I'd expect them to be at festivals next Summer, and WH/JP headliners seem like the sensible slots for them.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Yeah Justice aren't big enough for the Other, but I think West Holts would be a good fit and it isn't unlike their Hot Chip/Underworld bookings of the last two years. 

Only downside of that train of thought is that both of those acts headlined the Friday and Radiohead vs Justice would be a shiter of a clash. 

[BlackHole2006]

For some reason, I reckon (apart from Santana) the predictions of Justice and Kraftwerk at West Holts headliners are way off. 

[HoTWire]

I can see Justice doing a West Holts headline on the Hot Chip, Underworld logic.,.. but suspect they would be JP or even Park.

Not sure where I'd put Kraftwerk either.

[LondonTom]

The now annual West Holts Friday night party with Justice? Hell yes I am down for that   (JP would also indeed work for them, but I think WH as it often is on a friday night could be special)

[BlackHole2006]

I think both Justice and Kraftwerk are more suited to John Peel. I think that the more likely trio of headliners for West Holts would be Metronomy, Santana and The Jacksons.

I don't think Metronomy are doing new stuff properly yet /for a while are they?

Definitely weren't planning on touring the album they just released so unless they've got another one in the pipeline for next year it seems unlikely yeah

Metronomy can bog off to another stage.

That Sunday headline slot is Kraftwerks. It is time.

Metronomy would more 'saunter' off to another stage in a pressed shirt, I reckon.
