Levs nostalgia? Still current and producing new albums and touring regularly.

We get used to it mate, most people think they stopped doing anything after Beautiful Day :lol:

I do get it from a Glastonbury perspective though, peak early/mid 90s traveller festival scene, and they don't pop up at Glastonbury that often.

I mean. I’d say 90s acts are very much nostalgia acts nowadays. 20 year olds attending the festival this year would have missed the 90s completely!

It's a weird one in a way. As a fan I do kind of resent them getting lumped in as a nostalgia act because like @Pinhead I know they've been pretty consistent with touring and releasing all the way through, but then I do have to accept that their mainstream popularity was limited to the 90s. If you didn't know them then, chances are you won't be following them now.

For a bit of nostalgia plus a helping of cheese, how about The Wurzels?

If I remember right didn't they cancel late one year because they thought The Bandstand venue was beneath them (just gossip?)

Then I think they may have played since but I definitely missed them.

Bloody Hell, imagine them playing on a makeshift stage out of a tractor trailer at the Cider Bus!

"I am a ciderr drinkerr, I drink it for most of the day - ohh R ooh R aye!

No? maybe not then ;)

Wurzles closed the Avalon Field with a packed out, sweatbox of a tent in 2010.

That would be really cool. They could even get some former headliners that now aren't so big. The Psychedelic Furs have got a show in May, so they could potentially show up I think

Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott from former headliners The Beautiful South too. Played early Other last time, they deserve a return to the Pyramid this year.

The Beautiful South have headlined Glasto?

 

By the way, has anyone got a good playlist for Heaton & Abbot? They seem to be quite active this year so maybe I should start listening....

Levs seem to have picked up a lot of younger fans these days though if the gigs i've been to recently is anything representative.

Jusr pre-ordered new album today as well.

Al Stewart, for very good reasons: firstly he performed at the first one in 1970, and he's still active and touring (In the USA up until late May), I can't see how they would omit him!

That would make my Glastonbury, Al with a full band and the great soaring saxophone and guitar arrangements in Year of the Cat.
