Two types of people. :lol:

Idk, it's a very different list depending on whether we have to be realistic or not. 

Being kinda realistic I'll go Yeah Yeahs Yeahs, Blur, Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes, The Black Keys, Caribou, Grimes, Gwen Stefani/No Doubt, The War On Drugs, Bon Iver.

That's 9 of the best acts I've never seen plus Arctics who I wanna see again but cba spending £60 or whatever on.

5. The Voidz

8. David Byrne

9. Anderson .Paak and the Free Nationals

as realistic as possible:

 

the killers

tears for fears

carly rae jepsen

pulp

caribou

hot chip

chance the rapper

japandroids

cut copy

foals (heard they can be a bit iffy but they looked dead good at reading the other year)

 

if they hadn't have played last year i'd also add justice, the avalanches, phoenix and radiohead but alas i was at home and i doubt any would be back again that soon :(

 

p.s. hi hi i finally joined after lurking for about 5 years

    • What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.
    • Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......
    • I would be all over Wolf Alice but may have outgrown this venue.    Also have to consider the schedule they have been on this year so may be on a break.  This last 10 days alone they did Tramlines, New York, Chicago and Kendal Calling.  Although make hay while the sun shines may come into play.
