I'm still gutted to have missed out on A Tribe Called Quest in 2017. Q-Tip returning would be fantastic, no idea if he's about. Wiki says he's still active so who knows.

Busta Rhymes, De La Soul, Ice Cube would all be welcome as a Fri night headliner

De La Soul are fantastic live.

Would love a Q-Tip set. Saw De La Soul a couple times this year and they were good fun both times, i dont think id be fussed with them being one of my headliners though. Mid-afternoon Pyramid or Other however would be great.

I saw busta headline tokyo world last month and i had very very low expectations going in but he was great fun, played his hits, got the crowd going, played all of his big feature verses (including scenario by ATCQ). Good stuff, would be a good booking

Wonder if we’ll get Thundercat.

He was on the 2020 posted so was really disappointed he wasn’t there in 2022 given he was literally in England that weekend (supporting RHCP) - which is the same as Anderson Paak.

Hoping they both turn up on West Holts in 2023, but worried Thundercat might be going back into studio as has no tour dates that I can see for 2023.

I caught the end of Q-Tip in 2009, after I'd left Neil Young, but I'd love to see a full set of his back at the Farm. 

Busta Rhymes has got some massive tunes, it'd be a motoring 90 mins, would love that. I'm holding out for someone decent on WH versus Arctic Monkeys, at least.

I like AM however I've seen them a few times and they're not unmissable for me (Unless the new album is stellar) so an excellent WH alternative would be welcome here too.

That's a benefit of already seeing one of the main headliners. I'll see EJ in May so if he's excellent then (and booked for Glasto) it would allow me to skip him on the Pyramid, leaving me to find someone else. 

WH is good for filling those gaps usually.

Maybe not ice cube, didn't he post a bunch of weird anti semitic tweets during lockdown?

Just Googled it now, trying to work out if he's just trying to be an activist or he's just a bit foolish. Either way, not sure if it would be enough to stop him playing Glastonbury. Several artists have got a lot of skeletons in their closets.

Add Pusha T to that list.

It's one of those ones where I feel he could probably do either and not look out of place, but feels more like a Park headliner in terms of previous bookings? IMO at least.

Would be all over it, the live show just keeps getting better every time I see him.

Totally agree.

There were a few similar acts we couldn’t place this year, inc Four Tet.

I see FA as a smallish WH act or big Park, but he’d rock either.

John Peel would also be a huge vibe (headliner or lower down)

He could just feasibly play so many stages!?

Everyone bigs up his Boiler Room set but are there key tracks or an essential album for the lad Again..... He seems pretty prolific.

Marea is his biggest track by far, was absolutely everywhere last year. 

All his albums are great, but the two from last year are best.

Just listen to his two albums, After Life 1 and After Life 2, you’ll get the gist very quickly whether you like or not - they’re very accessible and not very long.

His best track (by a country mile, imo) is the one he produced with HAAi that features vocals from Romy - Lights Out. An absolute big room heater.

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
