Totally. Really hope I can see them.

Does anyone know K.O.G Trying to update my playlist but there seems to be a few with that name or variations on it and don't want to add the wrong one.

Im assuming it’s K.O.G. of K.O.G. & The Zongo Brigade, who have played Glastonbury before

Mine is a big overall playlist for the whole festival and on Deezer rather than Spotify and will be tailored to my tastes (more and more as we get closer to the festival 😄) but I did make it public if anyone does want to listen to it. My user name is Ruwise.

That's my assumption. Saw them on WH the year he was a runner up in the ETC, great fun!

Update @gigpusher - latest album came out this year, called "Zone 6, Agege"

Dunno if you're on Deezer but it's here https://deezer.page.link/S9AQUWBEzgDns7Ww6

It is - but sadly we don't know what The Zongo Brigade did wrong to all get sacked.

[Quark]

Zongo wanted them back.

Assuming the vibe and sound will be similar I'll be all over this either in CN or in Shangri La. Should be a hoot.

EDIT: new album is great fun. This'll be a blast, definitely added to the list of ones to catch

Was there lots of the Zongo Brigade it might just be economics at work or that old chestnut 'musical differences'?

K.O.G. is yer creative driving force. He's part of the Zongo Brigade alongside other stuff (at least based on his Bandcamp bio) so I wouldn't read a huge amount into it tbh. Probably one he's done on his own. Zongo Brigade is described as an afro-fusion collective, so probably a shifting number of names rather than a fixed backing band or summat.

I always have to remind myself that Croissant Neuf isn't just the outside bandstand but there's the tent as well.

[giantkatestacks]

Seen Seth Lakeman in the CN before,  it always goes off in such a small tent.

First time I saw The Staves was in CN and for that alone it will always have a special place in my heart.

Saw them supporting First Aid Kit. What a gig that was.

I couldn't get to that particular tour but have seen both of them individually several times. 

I would also like to thank The Milk for turning up late at Leftfield which is why I found myself wandering into CN on that delightful afternoon to hear The Staves do a blinding set. Ended up watching them very early on The Other Stage as well I think that year. 

We will be watching First Aid Kit this year. As I have mentioned in another thread Mr Gigpusher tends to get obsessions with certain albums that last a long time and Ruins was one such album.

Cut Capers are tops. be trying me hardest to catch there. cool spot

Remember seeing The Lancashire Hotpots headline in there when U2 were on the Pyramid. Ed Sheeran had played CN earlier on in the day when he was just starting out.
