For Parklife or Glastonbury? Sorry can't tell which you mean. 

Sorry, for Parklife yeah. 

Needless to say, it hasn't happened.

So the Legend Slot would be either one of Diana Ross or Barry Gibb?

No idea.

I have had new info overnight about Gibb tho, with someone else (with a proven history, tho not a big history) telling me he's definitely booked.

That new info has convinced me that it's correct that he's playing.

I can't quite believe that #rightbazza gets mentioned without being referred to as #rightbazza!

There's 2 special guest spots to be filled, unless I've missed the announcement. 

Chainsmokers have a Manchester gig on the 23rd Feb which is when the special guest is announced.

2+2 and all that.

Saturday #Right Fever

[big__phil]

Yussef Kamaal are in the the UK/Europe in June. A cross between Floating Points (live) and BadBadNotGood is my attempt at a description. Pretty jazzy. Good stuff.

[eFestivals]

Otway is touring. Otway is always touring.

But he didn't do last year and he doesn't think he'll get booked for Cabaret this year.

He might try and chase down another route, tho. Go on, John, it's not the same without you.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I saw him in the Acoustic a few years back, so he could wind up there.

[Mash011]

Dunno if they've been mentioned but Jonny Greenwood's Junun will probably be there - supporting Radiohead on a lot of their dates and at a bunch of festivals which they're headlining. Where would they slot in?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Possible Friday Pyramid opener...?

He might, tho having just exchanged mails with him it seems far from certain that he'll try to pursue anything - he says he might, but that also means he might not.

[Drinky]

Something for the Avalon?

it feels like they're this years Kamasi Washington, they're being booked to play everywhere in the summer which is great. I'll be very surprised if they're not at Glastonbury. 

 

Also if they are, it's likely Henry Wu will probably have DJ set somewhere.

Let's hope so.

I'm pretty new to Yussef Kamaal to be honest, so you'll have to enlighten me; is Henry Wu one of the band? What does he play in his DJ sets?

I'm the opposite, don't know much about yussef kamaal but heard a few Henry Wu mixes. Seem to remember this being nice (Henry Wu is on in the second hour) fairly varied housey, discoey stuff from all over  https://m.mixcloud.com/NTSRadio/alexander-nut-w-henry-wu-10th-january-2016/

Henry Wu is a producer and DJ, he's also one of the 2 members that make up Yussef Kamaal. He plays a range of stuff, usually a lot house and disco, everything in that area really. A lot of his own stuff produced under Henry Wu is house, heavily influenced by jazz

[big__phil]

Cheers both.

Henry Wu is also the name of the geneticist that recreates the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park.

The bottom's fallen out of the market for ironic bigotry.

He has said the last 18 months have pretty much killed his stand up persona.
