West Holts 2019

[FuzzyDunlop]

Janelle Monae... not a name I knew anything about & did some digging.... wasnt too sure, but the live performances look great. If she's on Friday, I could definitely be tempted.

Orbital won’t be headlining Other in 2019, most people under 30 won’t have even heard of them.

Yeah I'm 22 and they're really not that well known  among people my age.

Don’t know any Orbital songs. And I’m not gonna.

Exactly the same. Enjoyed what I've heard so far, will be going along bar any clashes.

Gonna be my catchphrase for the next 6 months.

[dentalplan]

You’ll be fine. Can’t see there being any clashes at that time.

Unless Lorde plays...

I'm still hoping for Hop Chip elsewhere (sorry) as Orbital on West Holts would be insane. And no one can convince me otherwise!

I could easily see Orbital headlining WH and Hot Chip, say, subbing Other.

I don't see Glasto being in too much of a hurry to book them tbh. And I could easily see Orbital wanting to play the 50th anyway.

Considering Jon Hopkins is in The Netherlands on the Saturday and Italy on the Sunday of Glasto, i still reckon he's the most likely candidate for the Friday WH headline (putting Janelle on the Sunday)

Where did you see those Jon Hopkins dates? Can't find them anywhere.

On his website (http://mobile.jonhopkins.co.uk/live)

But now I've double checked and actually looked properly they appear to be 2018 dates...

It's Orbital's 30th anniversary this year though and they are planning lots of things to mark the occasion. I would be surprised if it didn't include Glastonbury taking into account their history with the festival. I don't agree with your quote about the festival not being in a hurry to book them, they're still an amazing live act and old electronic acts are always all over the festival.

They could play a "15 years since we announced our last Glasto gig" gig.

They'll have to save that for the 2025 festival (if they don't play this year).

I am still not talking to Orbital for saying it was their last gig , giving me amazing memories then coming back years later

I'm sure they announced they were playing in 2010 too.

Janelle Monae and Jain are probably 2 of my favourite gigs last year alongside NIN at the Royal Albert Hall, utterly incredible, thats why Prince's last recording was on Janelle Monae's album, she's a force of nature and anyone writing her off as 'pop' needs to do some home work, I'm slightly gutted she's only on West Holts, totally has the sass to give the Pyramid a wake up call

and having seen Orbital over 40+ times they are on fire at the moment, the most vital i think they've sounded since Middle of Nowhere miss them at your peril

[Tyonks]

Wu Tang Clan TBC for the West Holt's stage? That would be fucking sensational. Even more gutted I don't have tickets now!

Nal's point is that there was so much hoopla for that 2004 appearance as the absolute last chance to see a noted Glastonbury house act - "Last time for us at Glastonbury...Let's have it!" etc...as you can hear them say on the Glastonbury 1994-2004 compilation. When they came back in 2010 it was a bit of a joke in terms of how genuine these 'last ever' pronouncements are. 

Knowing that The Nal is a massive Muse fan (and eager Radiohead thread-starter) I'm sure he missed Orbital in '04

I had already seen Muse a few times on that tour. Dublin, Auckland, Tokyo, Manilla and then took the boat to Anchorage to see them so I got dragged along to Orbital.
