West Holts 2022

[CaledonianGonzo]

Are we expecting a mix of old and new acts - or largely a rebooking of the 2020 vintage?

Who could be a new addition to the line-up?

Inspired by Postman Plod handing this haul of goodies over to me:

 

[Hugh Jass]

Aren’t the Isley Bros still doing gigs over here this summer? If so does that make them less like for 22?

[CaledonianGonzo]

On paper aye. I think in reality the gigs will shift forward a year (again).

Hope Kool and the Gang return or Hall and Oats 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fun as they are, if the Isleys are back then I'd doubt that Kool and the lads will also be in the mix.

[Brave Sir Robin]

They should get these cats on there:

And give Floating Points a good spot.

Ronald Bell died last year - would they even keep going?

[dentalplan]

Catfish and the Bottlemen

[dentalplan]

Would take a bunch of last year's lot but Run the Jewels headlining would be a treat. Also, Altin Gun can't really be ignored by WH bookers anymore as it stands.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Aye. Altin Gun have WH written through em like a stick of rock.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Tuareg blues is generally well represented one way or another. 

But even so would love to see Les Filles de Illighahad.

I guess Thom Yorke probably won’t be back given he’s cancelled all his other dates, Bicep seem like a pretty good replacement for the electronic headliner. 

Sons of Kemet would be pretty good on West Holts, seem like an obvious booking with new material out this year. Genesis Owusu would be a good booking too. 

[Ayrshire Chris]

Losing Toots Hubert last  year was sad. Had hoped they would have been in the frame for a return.

Saw them a few years ago on tour. Superb! Would be delighted to see em at Glasto.

 

Myself I’d like to see more Mongolian throat singing! - Kusughtun, Altai Hangai, Huun Huur Tu.

Its astonishing to see live. Something else

Would love to see these guys live. Odugen Taiga is one of my favourite ever songs. Astonishingly beautiful!

Recently I've been enjoying the Georgian polyphonic singing stylings of this lot:

I am quite enjoying this. I am always a little unsure about such incredibly white people playing afrobeat, but I think this is

Only if the mules came too!!

Actually, other than Wayne Coyne's unicorn, have there been any other animal appearances at Glastonbury...?
