Acts Touring around Glastonbury 2023

Yo, Seal is the artist I forgot I wanted until now. 

[The Nal]

Father John Misty playing Dublin July 15th

Circa Waves tour rescheduled for June. Already thought they’d be likely but surely makes them even more likely now.

That's the Chase & Status Arcardia slot sorted! Hoping they do a live set on WH too.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Hope we get Shy FX.

The Mars Volta are on tour in Europe at the start of June. Likely for Glastonbury or would they want too much money?

Stunning. 
Would’ve loved C&S to have a night dedicated to their first album at Glasto.

Levellers playing Bristol Harbourside Festival on the Saturday of Glastonbury - when was the last time they played?  Felt like they used to play every year...

2010. Headlined Glade I think? @Quarkwent, he could confirm.

They did, I did, and I can.

And they were fantastic.

But I doubt we'll see them again unless it's something special. 2010 only happened as a big festival anniversary I think.

Is that because they're focused on Beautiful Days or some other disagreements with the festival?  They have released albums since then - if they were there for the 40th maybe they would have been booked for the 50th - but presumably lots of other stuff I know nothing of!

As far as I know it's not a complete falling out as such (hence the 2010 appearance) although it's probably fair to say there was a parting of the ways, but they are more focused on BDs and performing at smaller festivals.  They're still on the circuit, but doing the big ones doesn't appear to be on their radar anymore.

They've said previously that one of the points of BDs was to recapture some of that spirit of the old free festivals a bit more.  With Glastonbury becoming bigger and arguably more commercial over the last decade I don't see their attitude to it changing.

If the festival were to ask them then maybe they'd cook something up between them, but I don't either party's beating down the other's door to make it happen.

Still fantastic live though. Going to get a ticket for their acoustic tour this year.

James are in Bristol on the 23rd, maybe a Saturday or Sunday appearance?

Would love to see Anna Calvi make an appearance.

Worth flagging that Pavement are a UK exclusive, as mentioned in another thread. Guess I’ll be getting a day ticket for the Saturday then!

Awakenings seems to have permanently moved from on or near Glastonbury weekend now, so it's got to improve the chances of many similar artists playing. Not that it did last year! 😂

A Villalobos set on IICON would be something.

There goes my JP prediction - any idea how much day tickets for Bluedot are? 

I'm was born in Macc and my mum still loves in Congleton so it's the absolute closest a festival's ever been to free beds and I've still never gone.

Real shame that takes Pavement out of Glastonbury, hopefully they do some other UK dates again.
