Missing acts you would've liked in 2019

I put Professor Elemental on my playlist based on someone on here saying he was playing. I'd never heard of him. I really liked him. Became an act I was definitely going to see and now the line up is out I can't find him on it??  Sad times!

I made my peace with YYY's not playing a while ago. Figured that if the Eavii were making a conscious push on diversity then why book Karen O and keep it quiet?

Still hurts man. Its the hope that kills ya.

Dreadzone and alabama 3, they're usually there so not devastating but a shame nevertheless. 

Michael franti & spearhead (although his albums have been getting worse and worse for years) hasn't been since 2004, I keep hoping they'll return one day. 

To be fair, I've been lucky to have seen/heard nearly everyone I like since I started going in 2003 so I can't really complain! Even bands like the family Stone, funkadelic, EWF and Kool and the gang who I never thought would get round to playing.

Beirut

illumanti hotties

Chromeo (I swear they self-confirmed???)

Kacey Musgraves

St Vincent

La Bouquet

No Rome

Busted

Mark Ronson

ALASKALASKA

Bradley Cooper

and all sorts of 'discussed' potential headliners like Elton John and Lady Gaga

but James Blake and Lily Allen are probably the most glaring absentees who you'd have put the mortgage on appearing in big slots

Would make my decade, tbh.  I'd loved disposable heroes and the spoken word stuff I'd heard from him years earlier and randomly arriving just as they came on stage not realising what I was about to see was one of the happiest festival luck-outs I have ever had.

While my initial impressions are that I'm quite pleased with the lineup, there are just a few acts that I would've expected this year that aren't on the bill:

Khruangbin

The Amazons

The Twilight Sad

Weezer

Tool ?

Is there anyone you were hoping for that won't be at the Farm this year?

Defo the amazons and also rat boy

The Specials, the latest album has some excellent tracks.

The Doves, after headlining Bearded Theory last week, still thinking that may headline JP on Saturday

Thought when I heard Sophie Ellis Bextor was touring with an orchestra, thought it had early afternoon Pyramid slot written all over it.

Mark Ronson is playing Stonebridge isn’t he? And I thought Chromeo were TBC as well. Strange.

Orbital for me too - on the back of a new album and generally actively touring it just seemed obvious they’d rock up.  I can only guess they’re pencilled in for the 50th anniversary as they’re huge part of what made the dance/electronica scene at the festival

Gang of Youths, Xavier Rudd, Khruangbin, Ashcroft, Strands of Oak, the Twilight Sad, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Manics Phosphorescent and I'm probably missing a few more.

    • UK to strip back procurement rules to focus on job creation, says Louise Haigh https://www.ft.com/content/9878a2e4-3ac5-43b0-b2c9-b1fe1a4b65e7?syn-25a6b1a6=1   Burnham is not serious about tackling climate change. Having conditions on govt contractors is one of the easiest ways to drive standards and behaviour.

    • What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.
    • Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......
    • I would be all over Wolf Alice but may have outgrown this venue.    Also have to consider the schedule they have been on this year so may be on a break.  This last 10 days alone they did Tramlines, New York, Chicago and Kendal Calling.  Although make hay while the sun shines may come into play.
