Can't really see where Arcadia could go north of the railway line unless it ate into some of the camping up by John Peel.

Well it ate up camping the last time it moved, so space would be freed up there.

TAKE IT TO THE ARCADIA THREAD

[shuttlep]

went to the park stage once and saw some guy beat boxing , that was 2016 

 

never made it back to watch anyone

Slayer would play the Truth stage surely? Made for them and the dates work.

Far away from main stages and BBC cameras though. Which is just as well because they're a fucking terrible band. 

[mario man]

Villagers

Kurt Vile

Teleman 

Rolling Blackouts CF

Public Service Broadcasting (though not sure they’ll still be touring next year?)

Oh Sees... although I did suggest them in the JP thread where they may be a better fit...however they’d be a bloody good headliner for The Park!

Yeah who even listens to that noise, have they even won two grammy awards. Doubt it. I just don't understand the youth of today.

Having thought about it they would definitely deserve a higher slot than a Park headliner.

King Gizzard could headline the Park for me. The YYYs too.

Hopkins would be good.

The oh seas, The War on Drugs. Both suited.

Seen SFA & The Flaming Lips headline there in the last few years. A great stage at that time of night.

I say it every year and it never happens but Julia Holter please please please. 

Also Mazzy Star, Kelly Lee Owens, Nilüfer Yanya, Tirzah, Yellow Days, Beach House, Snail Mail, Washed Out, Hookworms, Wye Oak, Goat Girl and Soccer Mommy.

She's got a serious case of being ungood live by the looks of things.

Cobblers - Julia and band are normally on point. 

Just tends to stick to 1 UK festival date every year ?

[FuzzyDunlop]

Are GOAT active? They'd be great park headliners

[Woffy]

For reasons of personal bias, I’m hoping Ulrika Spacek get a slot early doors one day. 

[eastynh]

Little Boots please.

I left her Shepherd’s Bush gig after about half an hour. Was not good at all.

PSB & OS would be good.

Saw Rolling Blackouts CF recently and I was very disappointed, sadly. Not often I get bored at a gig, but it was pretty uninspiring middle-of-the-road stuff.

Yes please!

Mazzy Star, Kelly Lee Owens & Goat Girl are good shouts - haven't heard the rest (apart from Hookworms who have also bored my socks off recently ?), so I've got some new listening to do, thanks!

If daphni is around could he play late in the park? Saw him during the summer and he was excellent as usual, considering he subbed wh as caribou last time park could be right size wise.

PSB might be too big, but there's nobody Parkier than Kurt Vile.

He played the Park a couple of years ago. Was rather packed, lost the crowd somewhat, all-in-all not one for the ages. It’s always a terrible place to be around teatime though.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Played WH last time, but...

Dakhabrakha.

Get them back! I think they'd be great on the park stage

[Mardy]

Funny old stage, The Park. I’ve seen some of my favourite ever performances there, but i’ve also seen some of my most beloved acts crash and burn there. It’s a stage that responds to big communal gestures and acts, and a stage where smaller, more intimate performances can really get lost and just float away over the crowd. I think it’s a pretty terrible stage for soppy-arse fey singer songwriters (which is very much brand Mardy)

Teleman!

You’ve nailed it there. 

Karen O thrashing about in something sparkly would be top drawer.

I'm just excited at the prospect of the Park stage staying open later at night, maybe getting some nerdy electronic acts on the go like Kelly Lee Owens, Four Tet, Mount Kimbie.

James Holden would also fit the bill nicely there I reckon.

Perhaps Maribou State as well.

Tour will be well done by then, but what about Gruff Rhys doing a solo set? He's about as Park as they come, second only to Jarvis
