Who's Touring Around Glastonbury 2017?

[H.M.V]

I've never understood the point of booking Jake Bugg. He's the Keanu Reeves of the musical world. Buy a cardboard cutout and play tunes in the background. Job done.

I need to find a new message board to post on.

Aye, I'm all up for a bit of indie landfill nostalgia. It was those bands that got me into live music in the first place, and the festival itself has a really nice vibe.

If it weren't for going to see the likes of Reverend and the Makers with all my mates, I likely wouldn't have ended up at Glastonbury or going to gigs at all, let alone having bands like Sigur Ros being the highlight of my festival.

It's like a gateway drug, got me on the right road to discovering live music and 100s of other great acts across plenty of genres. Like dabbling with a bit of mephedrone then discovering the joy of pure MDMA later down the line. In this case the Mephedrone being bands such as The Rifles, and Radiohead, LCD Soundsystem etc and the like being the good shit.

I see Pendulum are headlining NASS festival at Bath and West a couple of weeks after Glastonbury

What age are you that you took Mephedrone before you took MDMA?

Pie chart for people from this board who would have enjoyed Cast on Radio 2 this morning:

Key
Black = not enjoyed
White = me

 

It's either that or a dead Pacman.

I think they're allright.

Just played an old Lorde tune on R1 & she's touring. Convinced she will be there this year

[The Nal]

Madeline Peyroux's euro tour (currently) finishing in Oxford in early June. Would be a nice afternoon Avalon type gig.

**Skin Tyson done some brilliant work as part of Robert Plant's band to be fair and was awesome on the lullaby and ceaseless roar tour. 

Skin was a member of the greatest unsigned Liverpool band of the 80's - Pyramid Dream. There are bits and bobs of their stuff in the darkest corners of the web. Power could never get his head round the fact that a totally wastedLee Mavers had 10X the talent and charisma he could ever have. Even Mavers match going Evertonian-ness was in total contrast to Power's armchair  Kopite wannabe persona. So yeah, fuck him.

*If you haven't guessed I have an irrational hatred of all things Cast. I don't really know why as I like a lot of shite 90s indie landfill as it was my student days. But I hated them then. I even occasionally still listen to Shed 7 and the seahorses and enjoy them. But Cast can rot in hell for me.**

Ha ha, I have similar feelings. Walkaway?  Please, never to return.

Firefly and New Orleans Jazzfest lineups are coming out today - One will be really good and Muse is headlining the other one

Surely we're getting Teenage Fanclub down on the farm. Surely. Can't believe I missed their tour...

I queried this with one of them this Xmas time and at that point nothing was confirmed.  It wasn't a firm 'No', and he said that they could be doing it but he didn't know about it - but he had no information that they were, either.

Last year there was around 10-12 acts that did Firefly and Glasto, so could be a decent amount who would still do both this year.

Hopefully The Shins and Miike Snow can make it to the farm this year.

Some climax to the festival - Dylan mumbling through a load of songs no one knows.

I seem to remember Weezer being ruled out or one reason or another, but still, Weezer!

I just had a look at their tour dates and can't see anything, this is their first gig in June as far as I can see.

plus Rivers mentioned playing Glastonbury last year, and he was hopefully just getting a year ahead of himself!

[thewayiam]

Weezer, AFI and Bleachers. Not arsed with the rest.

It's a massive fucking pile of rough though.

In the UK in June ... she's sneaked onto the Wild Life line-up since the other day.
