Who's Touring Around Glastonbury 2017?

[maarrkk]

Chaka Khan seems to be out of the country, playing Saratoga Jazz Festival in USA on Glastonbury Saturday.

hope she'll add a few shows when she's in the U.K. in early June as don't fancy going to park life/wildlife and would love to finally see her!

Didn't he write all of the Supremes biggest hits?

No, though he did co-write some of Diana Ross' biggest solo hits.

[kalifire]

The Roots are playing Lollapalooza in Paris in July. Nothing else announced before that except for a gig in the States in May.

It's long shot, but please let it happen.

EDIT: @MattDavies__ has already linked the festival poster.

Yes haha, story gone over many times. I logged in via Facebook not realising and tried changing password etc as chrome was being slow and shit.

They've announced a Manchester gig just before Glastonbury, so fingers crossed.

That jazz festival had Usher & The Roots on its lineup, I'd be all over that if they came across.

I met Preston after playing a gig in Sunderland , he was pissed but seemed a nice guy.

Blondie announce to support Phil Collins at BST Hyde Park. Where would you stick 'em though? They followed the Friday Other Stage Opener last time, and probably would be popular in that slot again.

That makes another one from the BST lineup I fancy at the Farm.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Catfish and the chaps announced for Isle of Wight. Can they secure the Other Stage Treble?

 Sunday night is party night

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'd be all over that.  A dream booking.

[Mezhyp1]

Young Fathers into The Jackson and a B Line straight into SE Corner would make me delighted

FTFY

[DownboundTrain52]

Would happily take Kool and the Gang for a Sunday night. Preferably into Chic. And then to this SE corner I'm yet to visit.

[CaledonianGonzo]

KATG headlined WH not that long ago - hence, of the two, The Jacksons are the logical one to try and bag.

[FloorFiller]

Saw The Jacksons at Bestival in '15 and they were ace. Knew it'd be a hoot 'cause they've got the tunes but they've still got the moves and their voices have held up surprisingly well. Doubt I'd go see them again but would make an ace way to end a night at Glastonbury for anybody who's yet to see them (and one less clash for me to worry about ).

[VolumetricFox]

Jacksons could still happen

Quote

Featuring brothers Jermaine, Tito, Jackie and Marlon, the show will see The Jacksons give their only UK headline performance this year. A small number of festival appearances are set to be announced but are yet to be confirmed.

Sounds very promising -  struggling to think what other festivals they'd be booked for around that time of year in the UK.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Would they have The Jacksons and Diana ross on on the same weekend, never mind the same day?
