Acts Touring Around Glastonbury 2019

[GMF]

Odds and sods still available for the two London dates, so hopeful they may be tempted to do some festivals, they would be a great Acoustic headliner, preferably Friday.

Don't know if this has already been mentioned but Snow Patrol are playing Eden Sessions on the 29th, so they must be at Glasto on the Friday or Sunday. Reckon that rules them out of a Pyramid slot (unless Bastille are 5th down on the Friday?)

Completely missed that! Thanks for flagging it up

Re: Snow patrol...

They're a funny one to judge - have a couple of household-name songs, but I'm not sure of their current standing. 

Saw them at Mad Cool last year, and the presence, production and attitude made them feel like less of a big deal as we might have expected.

Having said all that, I think Other opener would go down a storm.

Only band I put ear plugs in for at Mad Cool. 

They're AIDS for ears.

Surely not, John'll be turning in his grave.

Daytime Pyramid fodder I reckon.

why would it rule them out of a Pyramid slot?

Well Sunday is full unless they are taking sub or 6th down, both of which seem unlikely. Ditto for Friday unless they have had a sudden change of genre and are playing the metal slot

Inexplicably that gang of bedwetters were playing arenas earlier this year. Dunno if they sold them out though.

Can see them about 3rd on the Other one day.

surely they'll do the Travis slot in that tent somewhere midday?

Found myself pinned down by them in Madrid. One of the weaknesses of the dual main-stage approach. They were diabolical.

Really? Lineup page has only 3 names for the Pyramid Friday (4 if you include Crow) and 4 for Sunday. Who else is a cert for the 'Mid on those days?

Agree with this.  Its weird, as I kind of lump them in with The Killers, Kasabian & Kings of Leon from that mid-2000s set with a couple of massive albums and some absolute sing along anthems in their arsenal.  In my head, I can't rationalise The Killers headlining and Snow Patrol playing 5th down on the Pyramid lol.  I suppose the same could be said of the Kaiser Chiefs.  Weird how some acts keep on keeping on and other drop like a stone.

I had:

Stormzy // Moonface // Metal Slot // Bastille // Sheryl Crow // ??? // ??? // ???

I guess they could potentially slot in above Bastille (as could Ms Lauryn Hill?) but I dont see them taking any lower than 4th down considering they aint that small yet (still headlining Latitude etc.)

Posted track on the new music thread, but Brand New Heavies are back and have some dates in May and August. Got space, reckon they'd bring the groove to West Holts in the sunshine

[Justiceforcedave]

I see J Mascis is knocking about in Europe late June/Early July. Would love to see him knocking about on The Park.

Despite the fact they said they hadn’t been asked before Twilight Sad have tweeted to say gig news tomorrow I’m still clinging onto hope
