Sod that  Get iCube.  

Not been a fan of bump us since Bowie pulled out of T in the Park the week beforehand and they bumped up The Darkness to replace him.

Ouch! That's like saying we've run out of fine mature cheddar so have some dairylea.

Saw happy Mondays headlining our local sportbeat festival last year, was good fun. Think they're doing let's rock bristol this year. I'd be happy with seeing them again as currently headlinerless for Fri.

Hmmmmm. ....thing with Black Grape is that the volume of pretty rubbish material far outweighs the 3 or 4 genuinely brilliant tracks.  The Mondays have a solid setlist of bangers.

Get Higher

Reverend Black Grape

Tramazi Party

Little Bob

In The Name of The Farther

Kelly's Hero's

Shake Well Before Opening

Tell Me Something

Daddie Was a Baddie

9 Lives (new)

Pop Voodoo (new)

 

Not enough for a headline set but more than enough for a sub position I reckon. Shame there seems to be no one who could be bumped up.

I don't think that will happen. He's already a small WH sub and he'd get an embarrassing crowd as a headliner.

Two of the three festivals ATCQ have pulled out of have already announced a replacement, and they're at just as short notice as Glasto.

There are potential WH headliners around at the time who aren't on the lineup. Grace Jones, Orbital, George Benson (big enough?), so I imagine they'll be properly replaced.

I really hope they don't do that. I'm already stressed enough about whether its worth risking getting a shit space for Radiohead to at least catch the first half of his set....if they bump him up I'm really fucked!

Plus he's awesome and I want him to get a good crowd

He was probably in my top 5 acts to see but I've written him off totally now due to Radiohead. Radiohead will get a 2.5 hour set and he probably won't even start until the gap between them and The xx. No chance of me seeing any of his set and getting a good spot for Radiohead.

***sigh***  Maybe I can send one of my Radiohead hating friends there so he can report back

Hopefully they can use the ATCQ money to book two acts and shove him down a slot so we can see him

Haha, yes!! This is exactly the kind of optimism and forward-thinking we need 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Guys - as much as I like 'em, good spots for Radiohead are gonna be ten a penny.

[Badlands]

If it's a Muse 16 sized crowd for Radiohead,  I don't think there'll be too much hassle getting a decent spot. Radiohead are my must see headliner but I aint missing Paak. If it means missing the end of one or the start of the other, so be it. 

[liamium]

would love to see this lad on WH. 

huuuuge gap between last US date and playing London & Manc 28th & 30th June. if he's not on the full poster i'm 100% on board for the latter

If they added Ice Cube to Friday night then I may well have an aneurysm trying to decide who Im gonna see that night.

Yeh, I'm really hoping this is possible. Are Radiohead definitely going to be getting 2.5 hours? Where can i find some old line up times????? I'd even be happy with first half of Paak and missing the first bit of Radiohead, especially if they do that thing when they start with three tunes from AMSP....

EDIT: Found it. If this is anything to go by, plus going by the idea that maybe Radiohead will   gather a Muse '16-esque crowd, we should be alright! Half of Paak at a bare minimum :-D

He played last year as part of Kamasi Washington's band, so I'd hope he liked it enough to come back. I'd say he's a pretty reasonable prospect, and I'd really like to see him.

Radiohead won't get 2.5 hours

I used to put stock in your tastes.

Ice Cube, DJ Shadow, Run The Jewels or Andy .P getting bumped up are all very attractive potential Friday nights for me. But please not Black Grape.

They've got 2.5 hours at other festivals around Glasto and Glasto are obviously happy to give slots of that length to headliners. Why won't Radiohead get it?

Even you must admit that Black Grape will hold 0 appeal to a 25 year old

Tom York told Emily that he wants to see at least half of Anderson .Paak.

I grew up in Salford, still live in Greater Manchester and work in the city centre. I don't think I know anybody who's at all interested in Black Grape. Happy Mondays, maybe as a novelty, but Black Grape don't have that funny homeless guy with the maracas, or the "yer twistin my melon, man" song from the indie discos, so nobody's bothered.

[Tommy Dickfingers]

Suppose you've got a point. Black Grape have tunes, I'm 26 and would deffo go and watch them clashes permitting. I think Happy Mondays get a bad rep unfairly they made some brilliant music.

Bez was in Black Grape. He would get up on stage with them if they played. 

I think they would pull a pretty decent crowd on West holts. Granted they are not headline material but a tea time slot would pull a fair few. Not everyone at Glatonbury is under 25.
