Hoping for some decent afternoon reggae to enjoy my sausage and potatoes from Le Grande Bouffe with.

 

In 2015 this act was Steel Pulse.

I've found le grande bouffe to be getting progressively worse in the recent years and it pains me to say that as I've always been a massive fan.

Also the added addition of a bit of baguette is nice at face value but trying to naw on it after you've just smoked your weight in green is just awkward.

Sausage and potatoes - is that a refined way of saying Bangers and mash? :lol:;)

Ha... turned out Canalon de Timbiqui are playing, just not on West Holts.

And I'm pleased to see Shaggy at Silver Hayes, which means there's more reggae to come for West Holts.

And Damian Marley is still free on the Sunday if he doesn't mind a bit of air travel. Fingers crossed! :)

Fingers crossed!!! :)

@eFestivals How certain are you that A Tribe Called Quest are headlining the Friday?

I'm not certain at all, which is why they're only a rumour.

I got info for the act before them, which came with some attached but uncertain info they were before ATCQ. That's the only info i've had for them.

I tried asking Mr WH about them at the weekend, but he wan't playing (not that I expected he would). He wouldn't even say if the already-announced Shaggy was one of his acts or not.

I see, thanks for the reply.

Yeah I seem to remember you saying it was Anderson .Paak playing before them which would make sense, especially seeing as he's on the new Tribe album.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that a Radiohead/Tribe clash is avoided!

Think that's Paak isn't it?

Ah yes. 

Seems I'll be up in the Park watching Mark Lanegan or be wherever the Flaming Lips are. Anywhere but that 6 hour snoozefest on the Pyramid basically.

Yep I'm in the same boat. Headline either of the other two nights and I'm there. Be almost anywhere else on the lineup and I'm there. Just not at the same time as Radiohead! :(

The last EVER ATCQ tour v Radiohead headlining on the 20th anniversary of Ok Computer & one of the most iconic Glastonbury sets of all time... There is literally no room for compromise, it is evil in every sense of the word. All we can do is pray to the festival gods.

Sunday is surely Justice? They're confirmed for Sunday and we know they aren't headlining Other or JP (those are BBK and Metronomy). It's Friday that was the mystery on WH and unfortunately it looks like ATCQ may be the act to solve that mystery.

mm yeh I guess you're right. Oh well, that's a huge shame as ATCQ where the act I most wanted to be there, excluding Radiohead.

Is there substance to ATCQ? This would be great news.

Albeit without what's his name :( 

that's the one thing that is making me feel less bad about the clash. I've always preferred Phife's verses to Tip's, so for me personally it wont be the same without him there.

I'm sure it will still be a great set though.

      Latitude 2026

      By Riddler7 · Posted

      Been going for 10 years. Wasn't massively keen on the lineup beforehand - although as usual after some research I did start to really look forward to it. We had a brilliant time, felt more like old school Latitude, lovely vibe and we met some nice people. We saw loads but highlights for me -   Lime Garden Florence Road Jalen Ngonda David Byrne - Not a fan of him or TH really but we went out of interest and it was one of those festival shows that you'll never forget. The staging was off the scale. Eleni Drake - Up on BBC Introducing, what a haven that stage is.  Westside Cowboy Getdown Services - Probably highlight of the weekend for me. Absolutely brilliant and have booked tix for them in Bristol next year. Everything Everything - They're my favourite band so I loved it when they were added. A great start to Sunday and met loads of their fans up near the front. Alex James Britpop - We enjoyed it and Gary Stringer FFS! David O'Doherty - Saw him twice, brilliant as usual. Self Esteem - Adore Rebecca and the show was as live affirming as always.   Overall, it was such a brilliant weekend. Beforehand we said that we might give it a miss next year but I'm pretty sure that we'll be sucked right back in!

      Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
