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.

    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
    • Wow just got myself some Megadeth tickets and not sure I can afford another set of tickets for another gig so soon but we'll see. Fingers crossed
    • Can't speak for Dua Lipa's, but Coldplay's was vastly scaled down compared to their stadium production staging though, and tracks were adapted to reflect that. MOTS tour had a full walkway 30m out to the B-Stage in the middle of the crowd, and two C-Stages. Glastonbury didn't accommodate that at all and just had a very small walkway in front of the Pyramid stage, and (IIRC) a disconnected B-Stage.   Which re-enforces my point. Acts can adapt their stage shows if they really want. Most do, some don't want to. Glastonbury might miss out on the odd act that doesn't want to slightly adapt, but so will most festivals.
