Nice to see someone else mention Beans, it’s become a sort of tradition of ours to seek out where he is playing, last year greenpeace was rammed for him on Thursday. 

[The Spandex Warrior]

1) 35

2) Orbital, Confidence Man, Sam Fender, Elbow, Noel Gallagher, Beans on Toast (expect all except Orbital and Elbow to change once the lineup is announced).

3) Fleetwood Mac / RATM

Definitely. First saw him at a Secret Garden Party in 2006 and always make sure I see him at every festival I go to when he's on the bill. Although as you say, I saw Lekkido on Thursday last year, and by the time I got to the Greenpeace stage it was already too full to get in

Will have to rectify that by seeing him twice this year.

This may well be common knowledge, but did you know he's namechecked in an early Frank Turner song?

Jay is our St George, and he's standing on a wooden chair,
And he sings songs and he slays dragons, and he's losing all his hair.

and there's a Justin from The Vaccines reference in there too!

"Justin is the last
Of the great romantic poets,
And he's the only one among us
Who is ever going to make it."

Kid Harpoon too. I was really into his EPs when they came out. I believe he writes tune for the likes of Flo and Harry Styles nowadays:

Zo and Harps will skamper up to victory in the city we call home.

 

[pahqman]

1) 39, 40 during the fest

 

2) Dianna Ross, Pet Shop Boys and Aerosmith for the confirmed/TBC/SRs

 

3) Alive: Pearl Jam ( ), Depeche Mode, Daft Punk, RATM, NIN, Tool

Not so alive: Bowie/Prince teamup or one leading into the other, Beastie Boys, Pink Floyd

 

Side note - It's so damn weird that my high school days are potentially of being replayed in huge concerts, and not even as 'classic' acts yet...

Beans and Frank Turner are mates from before either of them were famous - Beans talks about him a little bit in his "Drunk Folk Stories" book, which I'd highly recommend. There's quite a bit in it about Glastonbury - it's a great read.

I was introduced to him at (I think) Glastonbury 2015 when he played the Hell Stage on Thursday afternoon - think I've seen him at nearly every festival (Glasto or otherwise) I've been to since, plus quite a few of his own gigs - he's ace!

I asked for that for Christmas! Santa didn't deliver though so I'll have to treat myself.

I remember seeing Beans on an afternoon at an early SGP, him and Frank were both due on at the same time the next day, in between songs he mentioned he was a bit gutted cos they were mates and he'd liked to have watched him. I remember he said:

"If you want to see a proper good show, go and see Frank tomorrow. If you want to see a man who's stayed up all night doing everything he can get his hands on, come and see me."
