Jamiroquai, The Jacksons and Kraftwerk, for me.

Damn when did that come about? I was gonna say I agree with Will's prediction but that but's the kibosh on that.

I think I'm making a mistake actually and it's someone else, but I'm sure I had reason to think it couldn't be the jacksons 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Nothing on their Facebook about it....

I see that Herbie Hancock is also at Love Supreme....

They're in America on the 18th but then in the UK on the 30th June/2nd July - nothing in between as far as I know.

Yeah was just that I double checked there 

I had ruled them out because of comments when their other UK show was announced that it was their only UK headline show of the year, but maybe I was taking that too seriously

ATCQ would actually be a decent fit on West Holts:

They'd kill it on WH, but I (and a few others) are hoping they're in the Friday Pyramid slot instead - much less chance of a horrible clash, plus I think they'd be ace up there.

Their gig on 18 June is in UK too, not America. It's at Blenheim Palace.

This - Link - says it's their only UK headline performance but a small number of festival appearances TBC.

Derp you're right - I saw 'Woodstock' and immediately assumed America.

This is the weekend after:

I'm not familiar with every single name on the RHS, but as a minimum I think this puts Shabaka Hutchings firmly in the frame in one guise or t'other.

[FrancisH]

Herbie Hancock is a great shout, similar slot to Roy Ayers in 2015 would be my guess?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Checking his website he's got a gig in the Ukraine the Monday after the G...doesn't rule him out exactly, but doesn't add fuel to the fire either.

But it would be a big yes from me.  Taps Aff for Watermelon Man.

 

[Winslow Leach]

Hot 8 Brass Band yaaaaaaas please.

[The Nal]

Ooh Herbie Hancock please!

Snarky Puppy also in the area in June.

Depends on the device etc I suppose. So thats a West Holts headliner in the bag then?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Glad tidings regardless of formatting.  Got my first headliner!
