Sleaford Mods seem so out of place on West Holts.

Glad to have confirmation of Simz on Friday. My headliners are now locked in.

My suggestion of the Music on West Holts maybe not so weird after all! 😃

No DJ set next to Bonobo. I’m sure he said that’s what he’s doing this year. Could he be doing a secret DJ set somewhere else? 

He's listed to DJ down Shangri-La. 

I hope to be at both hut his live set in particular is going to go off! 

[Clarence Clemons]

oh fucking hell!

[rgill3]

Don't know if I'll actually go when I'm there but the idea of Leon at that time sounds absolutely lovely

[Tommy Dickfingers]

Shame I won’t get to see Rosin Murphy but made up I can see Little Simz

There’s now a lengthy discussion going on within our group around whether it will be possible to see Caribou and Macca… 

Come on here to ask exactly this... If I didn't want to get anywhere near the front for Macca, and just mooch about the back having a singalong, surely doable right?

Snarky Puppy means I’ll sacrifice DiRo this year. Shame, but you can’t see ‘em all. 

This is foolhardy. Sacrificing DiRo this year? For ever, most likely. See SP elsewhere, surely?

Leon Bridges, Caribou, Bonobo, Bicep, Roisin.... This is easily the strongest GF line up in the 6 times I've been. Clashes are gonna be horrendous. Rather have that problem than not, though!

Looking forward to Greentea Peng. If the weather's right, could be a great 45 mins

Depends how long he gets. If he just gets 2 hours then yeah you should be able to catch him all. If he does longer, you might have to sacrifice the end of Caribou or start of Macca.

Kikagaku Moyo. Fantastic addition

[The Nal]

Clashes starting to come into focus now

Some acts on there that I didn't expect on West Holts. I thought Sleaford Mods would be John Peel and I thought Angelique Kidjo would be Pyramid so could mean more surprises for those stages.

Never heard of them, but the name stood out. Gunna listen later. Waited for this line up to discover something new

That does feel a bit like the inside of my head right now 😄

I’m fine with that. Different strokes, etc.

There is a few of these acts that I feel are made for sunshine so weather will possibly figure into my clashes as well. 

[FloorFiller]

Much like the Park lineup I’m looking at this thinking ‘this could easily be the main stage lineup at a smaller festival’. The full timetable is gonna be an absolute stinker for clashes.

Just wait until the full lineup rolls around.

Definition of bittersweet as realization hits of the acts you have to sacrifice in order to see others.

Yeah she’s on my list after the initial poster drop. 

Sun, cider, good times….

[Metal Monkey]

Ishmael Ensemble - Emma Jean Thackray then Nightmares on Wax is a great way to start Sunday.

The Music still exist?! That seems weird to me in itself!

[The Nal]

So with Kikagaku Moyo added and after Acid Mothers Temple having played, it seems the "Lunchtime Japanese Psychedelic Rock Slot" is a thing now. 

Kikagaku are breaking up after this tour btw so get em while theyre hot!

 

[Badlands]

Attended Caribou, Bonobo and Simz recently so that’s freed up plenty of potential clashes for me. Still be a few acts on there to see still.

Mods/Midi does feel like a slight dilute to the ethos of the stage mind which is a shame for me

[Metal Monkey]

I really hope Brass Against isn't a clash with Skunk Anansie.
