Acts Touring Around Glastonbury 2019

[Badlands]

Very unlikely with the B52s based on those dates. Would mean playing 5 on the trot. Daaamn!

[CaledonianGonzo]

If you can think of a better way for the Other Stage to kick off on the Friday than with Rock Lobster then I'm all ears.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Was really hoping for B52s

[Madyaker]

Good chance you'd think looking at those dates. Glasto on the 28th would fit in nicely.

Looks like they're doing 2 days on the bounce with at least one day off before the next gig. No chance they're doing 5 in a row.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I see Roskilde's got Dylan.

[CJTM]

Just got through on a presser, Marti Pellow, Margate 27 June, Torquay 30 June. 

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Holding off for the big Wet Wet Wet reunion.

Marty’s not welcome at Glastonbury.

its going to be Dry Dry Dry

[FakeEmpire]

Wet Wet Wet are still touring but Marti Pellow has been replaced by Kevin from Liberty X.   This is a real thing.

He's an inspiration to so many junkies all around the world.

Just saw Middle Kids are playing London on Tue 25th June. They'd be a nice addition for me.

 

[Armourman]

Hipsway would be awesome @@

If this is The B-52s' last ever tour, and the UK shows are all seated, upwards of fifty sheets a head, and they don't play the big G despite being right there, I'll lose my cool. That kinda shit just ain't right.

 

Can any efesters think of another band with such a solid track record for bangers as The B-52s? No, that's right, you can't, because no other band can say that they have such an arsenal of songs that are as distinct and weird and charming and get your toes a-tappin.

Thought they were a one hit wonder with Love Shack. Are they not?

Weren’t a fan of the Flintsones movie then?

The B52's are a great band with some good stuff on their albums. But in terms of 'hits' you're not far off. There was only that, 'Rock Lobster' and 'Roam'. 

'Meet the Flintstones' doesn't really count as it as pointless and unnecessary as the associated movie.

[Gnomicide]

Yup. Love Shack, Roam, Rock Lobster. The rest is a mystery to 99% of the population. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Planet Claire, no?

[Wooderson]

Roam is fun. 

[Amy Lawn]

WHAT'S THAT ON YOUR HEAD!?

[CaledonianGonzo]

B-52s is more about a vibe than a specific song.

Except for Rock Lobster, which goddamn slaps.

I refer the honourable gentleman to the Duran Duran thread.
