Ms Hill always had the potential to be a train crash, but everyone didn't schlep up to John Peel for Rosalia, good times were being had at the Holts.

 

 

expect to see them with a prime spot in silver hayes.

Silver Hayes? Does that mean something of a change in booking style for them?

a big change with the booking team its now Team Love who books it, Malcolm who used to do it is busy with his pub.

Rosalia 2023 is a massive massive stick. Has to be happening. Would be bizarre if it wasn’t (wherever she plays).

Rosalia last album is the most embarrasing thing I've listed in a while. She took a very dark path and it's a pity as El Mal Querer was a masterpiece.

This one's Album of the Year territory too.

It's not unheard of for bands like that to play the Hayes.  I saw the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble in the Sonic a few years back.

Were they massively late? I vaguely remember mooching about Sonic waiting for something then after a while just giving up and the vibe was shite.

Really? Unmissable for me. My favourite act in 2019.

Rings a bell, but tbh I think I just happened to be wandering by when they were on.

Posted elsewhere but will repeat here - according to somebody on here, Bonobo is only subbing WH so still a possibility that Simz is on the Friday like a few people were hoping. Also means the hunt for the third WH headliner is still on.

Think it’s Mr Bridges then

Yeah certainly makes the most sense out of who we currently have.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Could Khruangbin have made the leap?

They're playing Friday. I don't think they'd be above Bonobo so maybe more likely to play another stage, I reckon Park headliner.

Yeah given they were down for The Park last time I’d say it’s the Khurangbin, Arlo Parks 1/2 on that stage Friday night

Someone's got to be above Bonobo though - so why not them?

Are they bigger than Bonobo? Wouldn't have thought so. Makes more sense for Little Simz or Leon Bridges to headline that night.

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

Yeah Khruangbin above Bonobo sounds mad.

Either top 2 Park or the Pymild for them, and they were on Park in 2020 so probs the former.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fair dos. Seem more realistic to me than Leon Bridges, but hey ho.

[FloorFiller]

Yeah could easily see Khruangbin on early-ish doors Pyramid.

Why not both? 

[Bradders]

Leon Bridges feels like an odd choice for a headliner. He’s fine, perfectly enjoyable for an afternoon, but would many people choose him as a headliner?

Yeah kinda how I feel about him too. Makes the most sense out of everybody on the poster, but still doesn’t feel quite right.

Could still be Four Tet, no?

Bonobo into Four Tet works.
