Tour Announcements & Upcoming Gigs

[Guest]

Atari Teenage Riot would be a lovely pick for Leftfield or Earache Express. Oh yes, I can see myself relaxing on a Sunday afternoon with a cup of green tea to a gentle, elegant performance from them.

I'm doing the Glastonbury / Boomtown double header, I'm happy with that line up

How much cross over do you reckon were getting? Chances of Lauryn Hill and Groove Armada? I know they've both been floated about for the G but not sure how likely

Lauryn Hill has got two UK shows either side of Glastonbury (albeit, a couple of weeks apart). Really not sure how likely that makes her, but there's got to be a good chance unless she's some kind of Boomtown exclusive.

Friday night WH headliner? 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fucking hope so.

I was thinking more the Friday hip-hop slot if that's still a thing (guessing RTJ did it on the Saturday last year due to schedule conflicts) although now that there's an official rock slot that day maybe they've decided to switch it around. Think it'll be the Pyramid for her, anywho.

Sure id seen Groove Armada say something along the lines of they would like to play but the bookers thought differently. Shame

At 2AM

Lauryn Hill is Pyramid or nothing I reckon. She's a recognised enough name, she's got the hits (albeit a long time back in the day), I reckon she ain't that cheap. Can't see her as a WH act, much more of a big name Pyramid afternoon act.

yeah, that's my thoughts too. I reckon Monae headlining WH pretty much says that Hill would be more money than it has to spend.

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but Nick Mason announced some European tour dates, starting the week after Glastonbury. On sale mobday

Does Ms Hill's legendary lateness rule her out of a spot where she can fuck up a running order and the stage times of anyone that follows her?

[kingcrawler]

Emily was at Lauryn Hill’s tour wasn’t she? Seems an obvious Pyramid act to me since she’s around.

But as has been mentioned, she’s not really one for a strict finish time so a daytime slot works badly. I am not sure she’s technically ‘around’ anyway, as her dates so far are spread thinly over two months.

[Sasperella]

Houghton and Boomtown clashing is exceptionally annoying!

[Gilgamesh69]

Just got tix to a pretty interesting sounding gig. Supergroup formed of Thurston Moore, John Paul Jones and Steve Noble. Playing The 100 Club in London

This is the weirdest tour of the year

Would love the hear Shaggy do The Fig On The Tyne tbh

[CaledonianGonzo]

I wouldn't give a fig for it.

Car Seat Headrest have announced a new North American tour which looks like they are ruled out, sadly.

They’ve got a free day on the Sunday but their schedule looks pretty tight. 5 days straight in different US states and then flying into the UK for the Sunday seems like quite an ask.

Just came here to post. No chance, unfortunately...

I'm pulling the same face as Seat atm.

Yeah, me too. Thought they were nailed on. Meant to be debuting new stuff in the Feb dates too...

I guess it’s not impossible, just very unlikely...

Then back to US for the 2nd? I'd let it go...

Don't know which festival this puts them in contention for, if any

That’s immediately after Glastonbury so I’d say that puts them right in the frame. Still going with them subbing The Cure, especially with that date.
