Singer Lias Saoudi and guitarist Saul Adamczewski are appearing as part of The Moonlandingz - I'd say it'd be unlikely to appear as part of both bands in one fest wouldn't it?

BTW the Moonz played Oxford this week and by all accounts (I wasn't there but my son was) they were incredible! Must see!!

Saul stopped playing with Moonlandingz about a year ago and stopped playing with Fat Whites after the Brixton gig in September. Fat Whites haven't done anything since Brixton if I'm right and its seems Lias is dedicating the whole summer to touring with the Moonlandingz so FWF are very unlikely imo. I wouldn't rule out more than 1 Moonlandingz show though.

Ah, interesting update, thanks Mr G! More than 1 Moonlandingz gig gets my hopes up too!

Nothing But Thieves posted about their festival dates on FB yesterday. I don't know if its worth reading into but they liked Glastonbury related comments. I missed them last year so i wouldn't mind if they were added.

Too soon for Fat White Family to be back? I saw them by accident on the hell stage a while back whilst the sun was rising, it was quite surreal. So much energy in the crowd for that time of night/morning. 

That was great, one of my highlights. If I remember Lias was only on stage for about 10 seconds and spent the entire gig on the barrier being held up by the crowd. Hoping for a similar Moonlandingz slot.

This has obviously passed me by.  We're talking about the same guy, right?

Richard Ashcroft is on tour at the moment as well.  Just saw him at Birmingham Barclaycard Arena last Thursday.  Good show but arena about 25% full.

He's playing Castlefield Bowl on 30th June and Brixton Academy on 1st July.  Quite possibly playing Glastonbury but announcement held back until after last week's arena tour.

I saw them at leeds on saturday, im a big fan but thought they were a bit all over the place and Shaun was carried by Kermit, still enjoyed them though, the new songs sounded really good and better than some of the old stuff.

The Hydro tweeted about some of his merch last week and I thought you especially would love a t shirt of Richard Ashcroft wearing a t shirt of himself wearing another t shirt of himself

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

A continuum of ever-decreasing Ashcrofts is a perfect metaphor for his career.

Good stuff. Can't wait to hear the new tunes.

Fuck knows how Shaun Ryder has ended up supporting Richard Ashcroft. It just does not seem right.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Shaun Ryder's supporting who?

[the wonderwhy]

Kano? 

[FrancisH]

Just a little 'who's touring' but no less great - Just spotted Son of Dave is playing Bristol on the Monday after Glasto, was good fun in the Rum Shack a few years back, probably in with a good shout.

Heh....that's a broad window of 'around Glastonbury', but otherwise I'd have to agree emphatically.

Mad Richard was brilliant, even some of the solo stuff I didnt know held their own among some of Verve stuff. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Hang on..... So we're talking about the guy from The Verve?

Well it is Black Grape who are supporting Richard Ashcroft. Still seems wrong.

[AdamWillingham]

Whitney playing in Birmingham 21st June, think that makes them dead cert to play 

[VolumetricFox]

Texas have a new album and are touring with nothing on Glastonbury weekend.  They're doing Carfest so are doing at least some festivals.

Wonder if they'll show up this time, can't remember what happened in 2015(?) when they were scheduled but didn't play.

Would certainly shift some tickets from their tour, if they were good.

Reasonably priced tickets too after that hilarious Bros fiasco. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

And unlike Bros they've got some jams that have withstood the vagaries of the years.  Love In The First Degree is a belter.
