Loyle Carner and Young Fathers must be in the running.  I'd also be surprised if Rosalia and Sudan Archives don't feature given they're active and around.  I know they usually try to get a legendary funk/soul/disco act in the running but I'm at a loss to think who may be eligible this year.  Smokey Robinson maybe?

Why mess around, just get Chic back!

Thoughts on Gipsy Kings cracking out Bomboleo on a hot summer's day, goan curry in one hand and toffee brother's in another? 

Looks like they might be touring around a similar time - http://www.gipsykings.com/

that was the opening ceremony to the crisp world cup aye

remarkable what happens when you get all the youthful vigour in one place and avoid banging heads over Guns N Roses every day

Yet here you are 

[Punisher]

Has anyone thought about Jacob Collier playing West Holts?

Think he’s playing in Bristol that week and he’d fit the bill.

Jazz and Rhythm and Blues - could suit an early slot on WH, but headliner no.

WH headliners are generally/usually "party bands"

the discord has known one WH headliner for weeks. which day, too.

Thought the Loyle Carner/Sat WH headliner was only a rumour?

More of a Parma Violet man when it comes to a cool Brothers?

I don't really consider Brothers as cider tbh. 

It's a sugary pick-me-up which takes me from hungover to happy. 

Coupled with the vibe of the WH and some decent food, no better way to start the day!

Last year I seem to recall a Marshmallow flavour.  And maybe also a Rhubarb and Custard.

They’re doing an AV show in Bristol in April, at the venue run by the Shangri La people. 

Tempting.

When Jungle Brothers said they were coming to the UK I was hoping for them to be on West Holts but they've since announced for Readipop in August so it's probably unlikely - shame.

I made my first trip to the Brothers Bar on Thursday last year. Strawberry cider was the nicest beverage I've ever had. Or at least it felt like it at the time. I've been longing for it ever since, might be a daily hangover cure this year

Holy shit. I feel like my expectations are too high now you say that. I'm afraid, it's too sacred

Just got a ticket

[Drinky]

The Brothers Bar has one very specific function: to get me and others drunk enough on Thursday afternoon to sing along to Purple Rain as loudly as possible when they test the WH sound system

Mrs Q just reminded me we are away with Friends then 😔

had a look at Easy Star All-stars tour and looks like they are over here in August so a slim hope there sadly. A man can dream though. Saw them do Dub side of the Moon at The Big Chill which was fantastic.

Yea I saw. Not one I go to and can't really afford it this year. Would like to see them again.
