West Holts Announced

[basynthnd]

Was hoping for Khruangbin but looks unlikely now 

[kalifire]

Thought I'd check out Jeff Goldblum on YT to see what I'd be missing, and it's thrown Miley into serious doubt.

What a wonderfully weird, expressive man.

Couldn't have imagined anything worse than a Tame Impala/Jon Hopkins clash ?

[Watergirl]

B C U C are not to be missed.

Not well known. They blew everyone away at Womad last year.

Can’t help but feel disappointed that I will spend very little time at West Holts this year. Everyone else seems happy so I’m not complaining at the line-up just the stars haven’t aligned for me.

Hopkins I just can’t get into, I fear the soundscape parts are lost on me a bit. I would have loved Hot Chip or Orbital.

Wu Tang are a decent booking but, having seen them last time, no competition for the Chems or Hot Chip for me. I want to see Janelle but my other half is desperate to see The Cure.

Lower down I’m just not feeling it. May see Jungle but Saturday is clash central. Will try and get into Jorja as my Friday is barren.Will make the most of Lizzo though.

That's me told. Did they ever announce him as such i before the 2017 festival?

Who’s Roy Ayers clashing with?

Highly recommend trying The Comet is Coming and BCUC. Both sound awesome on record.

[Avalon_Fields]

My Glastonbury will involve manic back & forward between West Holts and The Avalon. With a quick dash to see Kylie.

One of my gigs of the year so far was Fatoumata Diawara:

I was about to say that looks like I'll be staying put from This Is The Kit onwards, but then I remembered Miley and Kylie! ???

Going to see Kamasi here in a few weeks

New show is fantastic, caught him in Dublin earlier this year. He certainly brought life to a damp early Sunday at WH on his last appearance at the festival!

I'm sure they did because when Chic were announced I remember thinking that would be the real legend slot and I was right. Barry was alright but Chic were awesome. Had everyone smiling, singing and dancing.

Was thinking more of artists on West Holts but yes (are they Park?).

Park on Saturday I believe; annoyingly clashing with Ezra Collective according to Clashfinder.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Hadn’t heard of Grupo Magnetico before, but they’re now on my must see list:

Thanks - enjoyed BCUC they’ll probably be enough to entice me away from Craig Charles for one of his four hours. I should add The Comet and a few others I’m catching at Green Man or Latitude. 

I’ll also go there for food a few times and see if anyone drags me in and probably see the start of Hopkins before giving an early SE corner night a go. I really can’t complain!

 

[kalifire]

Just listening to The Comet is Coming for the first time - what a sound! That'll be immense.

[Xeph1995]

Just listened to some the comet is coming too. Damn son got a new must see!! Dutty jazz fusion ticks all my boxes.

I'd happily sit and watch them for like 2 hours haha will try catch a gig of theirs.

Saw MYD do a 2am set at Latitude a few years ago (for Late Junction). Was mental (in an entirely brilliant way...!).

The most recent record is absolutely staggering. The dream is that Kate Tempest is making a weekend of Glastonbury 2019 and is around to come on stage on the Friday to join them for Blood Of the Past.

They are awesome. Their 2014 set on West Holts got me down the front and dancing despite Sunday exhaustion!

I would say that Kate Tempest is making a weekend of it is a certainty. She goes every year.
