West Holts 2017

[Harry49]

So Saturday is looking like a Pyramid v WH face off for me! Would happily stay at WH from Thundercat onwards but the rumoured KP - The National - Foos means I will probably miss most, particularly if Dave gets his 2.5 hr set. Going to need a lot of luck on timings and some running shoes! Still going to be a great day whatever!

[Icewulf]

Fantastic lineup. Sunday is looking like a great choice for us Sheeranphobes.

[6t6o6m]

There are going to be so many clashes. Glad Justice is playing on Sunday. 

[Wilfko]

West Holts Sunday eve/night for me!

[Spindles]

Shame Anderson .paak clashes with The XX for me.  That lineup is tip top though, you could easily not move. 

[The Nal]

Fantastic. Loads I've never seen before.

Anderson, Ata Kak, Solange, Avalanches, BadBad, Thundercat, Cinematic, Shaggy, Oumou

Toots unmissable obviously. He seems to have got his game face back in recent months!!

Fucking bring it!!

 

[Icewulf]

Justice couldn't be a better festival closer for me. So stoked.

[FuzzyDunlop]

 

Not that much I'll be seeing there as Hot 8 brass band will clash with hacienda, Anderson.Paak will clash with someone Shaggy will clash with Bazza.
I will try to watch the avalanches and I could be at Justice.

Most of the early stuff I don't know - will check it out online and see if anything grabs me. Dakkabrakkha last year was an unknown and loved it

It's very strong, but then so are the probable clashes.

Yeah it's a wonderful basket of names but I can't bring myself to get excited about this until the rest of the names are out. Thundercat on nice and early is good juju.

[faymondo]

Tempted by the Jacksons. Anybody tip me off as to how they perform minus MJ and any hints of what their setlist currently is ?

So does that tee up Paak to clash with Lorde and the Flaming Lips?

Most likely clashing with Lorde but I don't think there's any way he could be clashing with the Flips. They'll be 3rd Other or JP headliners.

I wonder if he's headlining The Park, I don't think that's out of the question 

Kano init.

And Afriquoi

Top notch all round.

I wouldn't count on that. Cancelled a whole tour, so I reckon it's unlikely the Glasto date remains.

This is going to cause a heated discussion

[Gucci Piggy]

Anyway, Justice confirmed as my Sunday headliner and Thundercat in a nice early slot are both good bits of news.

Kate Tempest I'd like to see but I feel like she's gonna lose out due to clashes.

Does all this put Damian out of the picture now do you know Neil?

The current line-up comprises one ghost, one hologram, one animation, another ghost, LaToyah and Joe Jackson in a bathchair cracking a whip behind them.

Think it's given me clashes where I didn't want 'em and an almighty gap where I was looking for a Friday Night Special.

Eurgh way to rain on my parade. Cant find any info on the cancellations though. And why would they still be included in the announcement if they had cancelled?

[Homer]

Justice on the West Holts stage as headliner has got Sunday night/Mon morning all-nighter written all over it!

[CaledonianGonzo]

I thought it was United Vibrations that had cancelled.

I think Paak and the first half of Radiohead is my first formal clash

I was worried about this but looking at the last 3 years the West Holts sub always ends at 9.30, leaving just enough time to get over to the Pyramid with a pit stop at the cider bus for one of them hot ciders.

I really cannot wait, what an evening that's gonna be

I saw them at Bestival two years ago. Went along for a bit of a laugh and my ex wanted to go. Were really good fun, enjoyed a lot.

Weirdly tossed out ABC and I Want you Back in a medley, but still had plenty of material, inc MJ covers (Do You Wanna Be Starting Something). Sat is headliner-less for me currently and would consider seeing them again. They did 90 mins there.

[42hamlet]

Now this really has gotten me all giddy excited as if I wasn't already!

My Sunday night all sorted, thank you very much Moderat/Justice

Not if Radiohead get the 2.5 hour slot they've got at other festivals.

[DropBeat]

There's my Sunday night headliner!

Yet another area poster that would keep me quite happy all weekend.
