Curlygirl Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Hello there. This forum is quite quiet yet the festival is only 5 weeks away. What recommendations do you lot have for fun bands? I saw Dubioza Kolektiv at Bearded Theory... the whole field was bouncing! I’ll definately be seeing them again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tillyandthewall Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Confidence Man will be my no1 fun act, got a pub dancing last time I saw them so looking forward to seeing them on a much larger scale. Seconded for Chali2na, and Oh My God! It's The Church! will be silly stuff on the main stage. I'm presume we're betting without Grace Jones hulahooping on this thread.

I saw The Correspondents at SGP a few years ago, never heard of them before. Then all hell broke lose on stage and you couldn't take your eyes of the madness Bicep, Camelphat, Solardo are house music but every time I've seen them its always be brilliant. Just hope now i can actually make it to Bestival this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 I'd second The Correspondents, they are a great live show of man dancing his ass. Beans On Toast is a good for a sing along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another vote for Confidence Man (the most fun you can have with your clothes off - although expect some down to underwear stripping in stage from Sugar Bones of the band). And also another vote for Oh My God It's The Church - saw them for the first time at Bestival last year (and saw them again after in a club) and they are hilarious and will get you dancing with their 'Sexy Jesus' message.

Curlygirl Posted July 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Thanx Guys, all added to my notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Sir Robin Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Echo the above recommendations for Confidence Man, Oh My God! It's the Church and Beans. Also: - Shame are superb live, albeit a tad 'lad rock' - Songhoy Blues, increasingly funky desert blues/Afrobeat - Django Django are much more fun live than on record, really well constructed sets And really looking forward to Dubioza Kolektiv, only heard great things. Plus festival stalwarts Kitty, Daisy & Lewis certainly have a reputation for bringing the retro good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curlygirl Posted July 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Gonna stick all of these in my notes. Thanx Guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobie ninja Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 again, not a "band" as such but ive just noticed that Craig Charles is doing a DJ set. Depending on the stage / setting i think that could be amazing fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much looking forward to Stacey's, hard to beat a good bit of disco! On a similar vibe, Mr Good Times himself, Norman Jay MBE is also playing there.

I've 2 playlists going, a short compilation style one (to which I've just added Sundara, following our discussion elsewhere!), and a much longer one with tracks from setlists of various people that I've thought worth a listen. Here's the shorter one: And the longer one: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
