I'm sure we all remember the shameful pictures of LCD's crowd this year... True as far as it goes...but LCD also suffered from underwhelming crowds in a few other places.

I saw them at the Tate Modern and thought the 3D element would be crap, but it works surprisingly well. One issue is that it'd look odd on TV with all the 3D visuals behind the band, and all the crowd wearing daft glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Don't think I heard that at the time. My mate saw them at Primavera and said it was brilliant. But then again Primavera is a very "LCD crowd".

A nasty rumour started by people feeling regret at being attracted by the Coldplay shiney shiney wristbands. Best crowd of the weekend from where I was standing.

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) with Soulwax subbing?????????

Rumblestripe Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Just listening to Steve Van Zandt being interviewed on R6 and he is playing "Bluesfest" tonight with Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul and he just mentioned touring this summer. Now that band (assuming they've still got "it") would be great on West Holts... Get 'em booked WH team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyDunlop Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Whether its WH / JP or Sonic - there is no way Glastonbury will not have enquired on Kraftwerk seen as they are in the country at the time. I will be a little surprised if they are not on somewhere. I think they might be JP headliners.

Love Steve with the Boss, also love his radio show and Silvio Dante was an awesome character. Been listening to his stuff on Spotify and really enjoying it, was too young to see them in the 80s so would jump at the chance to see them. Shame you did enjoy though mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pastorofmuppets Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Having not listened to them at all for about 5 years, this past week I've been listening to pretty much nothing but !!!. I think they played one of the dance village stages last time, but they'd be great for a daytime WH slot, especially on a hot day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornelius_Fudge Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 I love the West Holts stage, it's been pretty much my favourite since the first time I went. I've seen the most headliners there and it's always been a blindingly fun shindig of a time. But please, can we not have any major clash with Radiohead. I'd like to see Jamiroquai, the Avalanches, maybe someone like the Commodores, unless they played there in the last couple of years and I missed it, a Tribe Called Quest, Roots Manuva, Jurassic 5, AIM... Ta. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
