This is very true.

First proper meal of the day is always at West Holts! 

Convenient to start the day with a Brothers too.

Tell you who I think would do a banging WH Headline Set - Nicholas Jaars Darkside

Back releasing music after a hiatus too

Moody electronic beats to see us into the night, could be fantastic 

Would be great. Good news on new music

It’s about time they had Manu Chao back. He’d be great on WH. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Does he still do the one about the monkey?

Kraftwerk - about time they made an appearance.

Any reasoning behind this? Or just hope?

I'd be there 100% if they were about somewhere

[rgill3]

Loyle Carner probably high up here

 

I'd say Steve Lacy but he seems to have blown up lately. Is he more of an Other Stage level act à la Olivia Rodrigo was this year maybe?

Just hope.

IMO an appearance is well overdue.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I seem to recall that they've previously been ruled out of playing West Holts for financial reasons.

I wouldn't have said so necessarily. Probably more at the level of the likes of Paak / RTJ / Vince Staples / Lizzo etc when they were booked to play.

Unfortunately after Gift of Gab's dialysis assisted appearance in 2016 he has sadly passed.

Damn, he died a year a go! Hadn't seen that. Sad times. He was a massive highlight for me at Reading 2003, but never got to seem him again. 

RIP Gift of Gab.

Aw wow! Sad news and I hadn’t seen it anywhere. Would love to have seen them live.

Loyle Carner would be a vibe

I reckon they will be a good shout.

Manu isn't a fan of glasto it reminds him of palastine. It's the big fence.

Best festival food bar none

Yeah I think Loyle is very likely to headline with the new album, secret set last year and the banging Other Stage performance in 2019. Would love to see it, seen him maybe 3 times now from a tiny venue to Glasto so would be great to see him headline.

Etykah Badu would be brilliant but no tour announced yet.

I personally don't think Fred Again is likely to headline West Holts on his first Glasto - more likely to headline Park and Jamie XX will headline West Holts (and absolutely stink up the place as he continues to do every festival he's played over the past 18 months).

[MaxPower]

I'm also expecting Tom Misch so play West Holts (provided he is no longer dealing with the issues that made him cancel part of his tour this Summer) - he came on with Loyle in 2019 too so that link up would be great to see again.

Speaking of those two, it will be interesting to see if Jorja Smith turns up and if so, on which stage. If she had of released a new album in 2021 or 2022 instead of a three track EP I'd have fancied her as a West Holts headliner, but hard to see it with very little new work since 2019.

And all the cameras monitoring people, he didn't like those. 

I suppose it does look like a big 'fun' prison 😃

[CaledonianGonzo]

I still wanna see The Isleys.
