If you think SH is poor then you don’t follow those genres.  Avalon was always going to be lower key after the problems of previous years and the council warning.

I was gonna say, I think Silver Hayes is stellar this year! I think they've paid attention to names on the up in the industry and a good diverse range of acts. But I digress! Not a huge amount on Avalon for me but there often isn't...band recs welcome for listening this rainy Friday!

Jake shears what’s his solo stuff about … does he do scissor sisters stuff ? 

Saw him at a pride event last year, he does both. I didn’t even realise he was the Scissor Sisters guy until he broke out into I Don’t Feel Like Dancing lol 

[fightoffyour]

That is so Avalon

[Wherethewildthingsare]

Love a bit of Elvana 🕺

[Nestacres]

Would say I saw Mclfy at trhe Avalon last year, but it was more hearing them form a fair distance. Probably best they havent put anyone too big aloth Mel C did nearly cause a crush at Willaims Green last year aswell

People seemed awful keen to write to the festival and the council last year about certain acts being over-crowded.

Along with Williams Green seemingly being iced, this is the find out stage of fuck around and find out.

Nice to see Avalon continue their long term tradition of being the worst bookers on site.

Surely you’d think they’d drop some decent names before the resale but with this and Silver Hayes, it’s been a let down.

Silver Hayes line up across the board is massive, not sure what you're on about.

 

Camelphat, Dennis Sulta, Dimension, Sub Focus, Kemnny Beats, Eli Brown, Michael Bibi, Salute, Hedex, Earl Sweatshirt...

Sold  🙂 thanks

It’s a bit disappointing for me as is the whole line up so far (excluding parts of SH but I only know limited amounts about that scene) but it’s Glastonbury so who cares I’ll be having a great one

Mostly yes - a bit of solo stuff, but mostly Scissor Sisters stuff.

Is that true about WG? That’s a shame as it’s been one of my fave areas - although it was an absolute sh*tshow at times last year

[Jacksamthompson]

Not much there for me but happy for others. Have heard that Lottery Winners are class live. Theres ya lottery numbers

Agree - given the usual Avalon lineups, plus the need to avoid a Sugababes-type crowd this time (although I think people like Mel C might have the potential to draw a big crowd) - it's pretty much as expected.

For comparison, last year's lineup on that stage:

[chazwwe]

Lottery Winners are great live and just lovely people, a few on there I want to see as always. Nothing stand out, nothing awful.

Yup, doesn't look too dissimilar. Will Young/Mel C will be fairly popular with people that like that stuff. Outside of a McFly/Sugababes booking, which as we've spoken about to death, is understandable why  that size of act are not there.

[Dan :D]

What sort of slot are Elvana likely to command? was hoping they’d have been a Thursday option but obviously not if Avalon only runs Friday to Sunday

Changed or gone.  Rumours there won't be a stage but we'll have to wait and see. 

[Metal Monkey]

I quite like this. Happy to see Zavier Rudd again.

The fact Sugababes and McFly weren’t headlining is wild to me lol
