Act missing from poster

It's entirely logistically possible, but probably not entirely logical for Sylvan Esso to pop over the pond for a few late June/July festivals.

Do bands ever do that? There's a gap of just over a month, which seems too long to rule it out, but still a little on the short side. But surely no act is going to take July off the year everything opens up?

I’m sure they were originally announced for Mad Cool in early July but they dropped out for some reason. I was hoping for them at Glastonbury or even some UK dates around then but seems like they won’t be around unfortunately.

Oh, so perhaps the gap was originally for European festivals, but that plan has fallen through? Possibly due to COVID/travel concerns?

I suspect, like Rina, she has been bumped from Silver Hayes onto one of the 'classic' stages. Can see both of them early on in the JPT.

Was kind of hoping for an out of leftfield surprise like Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight or RightBazza II who're all in the mix in the UK over G Weekend.

Yeah in Plymouth the day before. Would mean 3 gigs in a row but shes doing that on this tour. And its en route back up to Cardiff for her next gig on the 28th.

Sunday then. The Mavis Staples slot. Determined to make that a thing.

Are we expecting Michael Kiwanuka to be added?

I expect him to be early Pyramid. Seeing him on Sunday night this week though and so hyped!

Would be a surprise at this stage. He feels like an act that if he were playing he'd be on the first poster.

Surprisingly still no pinkpatheress - maybe it clashes with her exams?

We have tickets for his gig in Plymouth on the 21st but think we're going to have to offload them as Mrs B won't want to leave Baby B for the night, as she's off to Madrid for a long weekend a few days later.

I'm sure this has been done before, but here are the acts listed on the initial 2019 poster and where they ended up playing on the festival. You can see that pretty much all the top positions were accounted for on the first announcement, but there was plenty to come for the daytime spots and Other/Park stage acts.
