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.

They were on site as they did a session for Chris Evans from Glastonbury and Sharleen made some Instagram posts.  I think one of them was ill.

I was hoping they would reappear this year to make up for it.  That was a wasted trek from John Peel to Acoustic when I could have watched Father John Misty or Jessie Ware instead.

Methyl Ethyl in Bristol on 21st June, surely a dead cert to turn up- http://methylethel.com/live/

Pure speculation as it comes from a taxi driver who told my aunty while she was being driven back to her B&B that day, but apparently when it came to light that they were playing a mid afternoon Acoustic slot they spat their dummy out.

Hope so....probably be a must see for me as I don't really want to pay for what I want to see.

I remember is coming through on Secretglasto and as much as I didn't to waste the journey it was still shit.

Bananarama have got half a dozen belters to knock out. Robert De Niro’s Waiting is a stone cold classic, no messing.

I picked up a decent copy of Deep Sea Skiving* a few years back for about 75p a few years back.  Might be time to dig it out.

It's worth pointing out that a guy on twitter under This Is Music however reliable that is doesn't believe Ashcroft is there.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Who?

Guy from The Verve.

Perhaps if I saw a picture of him it would ring a bell.

That's not Richard Ashcroft

[ogriff]

Is that Paul Warhurst??

[Gucci Piggy]

Yes

Richard Ashcroft.

So who's this then?

Has anyone wondered if Rudimental could return? They're in Brighton on the 9th June but not much else. 4th down Pyramid perhaps

I know people thought Shakespeare's Sister were a bit of a joke because it had "that girl from Bananarama" in it, but for me it went the other way - I thought Stay was a really interesting, powerful, slightly weird song, which made me take a second look at Bananarama.

we've got two ravey-types orchestras touring festivals this summer, one of the sex pistols has done punk with an orchestra, and now we have DJ Spoony doing UK Garage with an orchestra.

Does anyone think acts are running out of ideas?

And yet we still can't get Thom and the lads to do Burn the Witch with a fucking orchestra

the opposite if anything, they're thinking of more and more ideas to make money out of gigs/people.

new ideas for how to keep riding old ideas, rather than purely new ideas.

Apologies if this has been asked previously, but any chance of Leftfield being announced at SH today?
