Dont know why but always though Heavenly had an influence on Williams Green.Could well have just made that up myself !

Not sure about who pulls the strings at WG - either way would be curious to know - but I know from a pal who has crewed at the Park that they have a hand in hosting the Crows Nest and there's the link too to the Stonebridge Bar (via the Social), meaning a lot of Heavenly bands tend to appear up there somewhere.

Nick Cave - still thinking he might appear during Kylie's set (which I will likely miss anyway) as he is in the country (or is in the country very close to the weekend as Im going to see him in Edinburgh on the 22nd)

[mazola]

Not seen them for years and to be honest they might be a bit shit now, but I was hoping Goldie Lookin Chain would show up. They are playing Boomtown, so thought there might be a chance.

Im sure Stealing Sheep & Confidence Man have played in The Crows Nest in past years. One of my fave places so fingers crossed.

Some acts around at the moment that I hoped would sneak onto the lineup but didn't:

 

Alaskalaska

Cigarettes After Sex

Metric

Little Cub

You Drive

Slow Readers Club

Keep Shelly In Athens

Chromatics

 

[betharm]

Stealing Sheep (crows nest would be amazing!!), Robyn, Kali Uchis, The Internet, Django Django, Jarvis, Hinds, Mabel (her Mam is on..surely she'd tag along?) 

[Acid Loafers]

Giorgio Moroder, really thought he'd come through.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Lack of Kali Uchis is definitely a bummer, but the way they do in 2019 they'd have just scheduled her to clash with 3 other badass women.

True. That Christine/Janelle clash is heartbreaking. 

[Chazwozza]

Die Antwoord would be good - they’re at Download this year.

[Gabi_says]

The Beastie Boys/Spike Jonze show, and a screening of the new Ill communication documentary. 

Kraftwerk

Edited June 4, 2019 by Gabi_says

[GWR]

Richard Hawley, khruangbin, olafur arnaulds

[ivan]

Slowdive 

Who I don’t think have ever played ?

[Gabi_says]

+1 Richard Hawley

[Matt42]

I was hoping Cardi would be booked but after the shit she’s pulling at the moment it looks like even if they did book her she wouldn’t have played anyway.

She’s pulled her entire European show and only doing shows in America because she thinks planes are bad for her.

[D-Low]

Bloc Party. They're playing in Bristol the Friday of the festival too to add salt in the wound. Missed out on tickets to their 10 year Silent Alarm tour. Thought they would be pretty much nailed on to play  

[MrHew]

I thought Spiritualized were bound to be playing and I'm gutted they're not. 

Was also hoping for Mogwai, Orbital, Doves, Dreadzone and Specials.

[finefield]

some great suggestions would have loved manics, specials bunnymen also Hawley  but he played park not long ago and suede played peel couple yrs back, Nick Cave prob not suitable slot left? but as others have said def a few surprising omissions currently touring and with gaps in schedule???
