MEGABOWL Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 I know it tends to be older acts but I have a hunch (and saw an unsubstantiated social media post suggesting) it could be Chvrches. Would give them plenty of time to get to Colorado for their Saturday night gig and given their recent battle with Chris Brown fans I reckon Emily would love to get them on the bill somewhere.

MEGABOWL Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 The Specials is a good shout as well I reckon. Though it could be their Abbey gig points towards a big slot next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow just been reading up on that forced to leave her house because she spoke the truth. Living in dark times. Maybe if it's them Lizzo will join them. I know they had a ball touring together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had an inkling it might be The Lighting Seeds but they're playing Northampton on the Friday, could still crop up elsewhere though I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Specials playing the Abbey, combined with them confirming that they're playing loads of festivals next year leads me to believe they'll be nailed on for next year. West Holts headliners? I'd thought their best days were behind them following the loss of half the core band, but the album isn't bad at all. They'll always miss Nev mind.

This would be great, was pretty surprised not to see them on the main poster to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With you now. So anyway back on topic, yeah The Specials would be great as opener. Would kick things off nicely for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bands usually seem to get a boost when they reform - LCD jumped up a spot - but Doves don't seem to have generated the same for some reason, as far as I can fathom anyway! Would be great in that Other opener spot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would throw most people, to be fair! Crazy, horrendous story. I thought Terry seemed to have handled it as well as possible though.

I thought Terry seemed to have handled it as well as possible though. Certainly a tough one to deal with but basically ignoring the fact that he said it seemed like the wrong response. Hall had obviously decided he wanted to open up about it. I like Rich and think he handles RHLSTP very well letting the conversation go wherever it wants and not always demanding a laugh a minute but thought he dropped the ball here.
