The Park 2017

[Tuna]

Always a few gems and a lovely atmosphere. Plus we all know that Emily reads the threads on her beloved Park stage with great intent - so, what's on your wishlist? 

 

Mine is the same as always: Yo La Tengo, Slowdive... and go on, throw in Local Natives for good measure.

Is it you or me that's going to have a word with  Uncle Basil about the cultural appropriation?

She was very good a Pussy Parlure, but I'd bagged a seat for the first time in two days and nothing but nothing could shift me out of it.....

Goat, Gladys Knight, The Decemberists, Johnny Marr, Terrorvision,

Gladys Knight is probably the wrong stage.

Sufjan is a very real possibility with his US festival dates. Would be beyond belief.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Bill Callaghan

Angel Olsen

The Jayhawks

Bill Ryder-Jones

Mudhoney

Billie Marten

And I'll certainly go along with Preoccupations and Television, although I suspect the latter may be more JP.

Sufjan's getting an hour in the sunshine on the Pyramid, it will be wonderful. The Park cannot contain his setup.

wouldn't bother me who was on, I love the park by far my favourite area of the festival! And I LOVE the rabbit hole

Got Young Fathers, Courtney Barnett and Future Islands down as headliners.

I haven't seen any pictures/video of his festival sets. I expected they'd be quite stripped back?

Did they do a secret set this year?  

They were on the same flight down with us from Edinburgh to Bristol on the Thursday morning, though I guess they could have just been coming down as punters.

Not at Coachella this year - not by a long chalk.

You couldn't be further from the truth, at least in terms of his current one. I saw him just before EotR last year, and it was a Carrie & Lowell show, but even that was a band of 6 and a stage full of instruments. The Coachella stream was full on pop extravaganza, complete with dancers and Subaru himself wearing an enormous suit made out of approximately 1 million balloons. Sort of thing that would make mardi gras blush.

I'd find it difficult not to fangirl. If they did do a secret set I'm going to be right annoyed.

Not that I know of, and I was subscribed to the SecretGlasto twitter account over the weekend.
