Vintage Trouble though! That will be grand.

Yep - great live act.  As are Lottery Winners.  Elvana are cracking fun too (seeing them tonight).  I'd also be intrigued by Jake Shears, Mica Paris and Far From Saints.  Pretty decent line up I reckon that.

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:

Webster at 3.40 Friday

Shears at 8pm Saturday

Doubt I’ll be attending anything here tbh, Mel C and Jake Shears could be fun but I can’t be doing with the crowds the former will attract.

[sisco]

Btw I think that’s a great little Avalon lineup

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

They probably wouldn't have drawn in the same crowds if they'd headlined. I saw Scouting For Girls (I think it was in Avalon) a few years back at the same time Ed Sheeran was headlining the Pyramid and it was dead.

In contrast I saw Scouting For Girls again last year on the Acoustic Stage in the middle of the day and it was PACKED.

[BambooShanks]

It's a pretty standard Avalon line up.  Hardly surprising that they're being a bit cautious following the Sugababes.  

While there's no "must sees" on there for me, Avalon is always a lovely place to chill out for a little bit so will no doubt be there at some point, even if it's to see Beans on Toast for the 4th time that weekend.

Jamie Webster will be rammed (depending on clashes)

Hi crowd at Leftfield last year was huge

[Tranquility of Solitude]

Laura Mvula on Avalon? Yes please.

[TomViolence]

This is actually stronger than previous years for my own taste. Will try and catch Vintage Trouble and Laura Mvula.

[The Nal]

JST bringing the honky blues

Mel C and Jake Shears have to be headlining surely? was hoping Mel C would be on a bigger stage but I doubt I'll bother trying to squeeze into the Avalon field for her.  

Will try to catch Gabrielle Aplin and Far From Saints (Kelly Jones' side project)

Shears isn’t 3rd down Saturday

Lovely line up! Jake Shears will be a brilliant dance and  singalong!

Interesting - Lizzo ish time? Might head over and watch!

[Punisher]

Surprised not to see Fenne Lily here. Thought she’d be a shoe-in for a slot at Avalon given she’s touring in June.

Very much an Avalon line up and a few on there for me. Not that I have a ticket 

[Justcalledtosay]

Freya Ridings, Mel C and Gabrielle Aplin headlining?

plenty of time to get there after Capaldi and plenty of time before Guns N Roses start. Definitely going to consider that. Makes sense opposite Lizzo so its not too busy 

[pootle77]

I'm quite liking this line up. Whilst not everything is for me, Laura Mvula and Freya Ridings are my bag, and I would probably stop for a nosy at some of the others if passing.

The Damned perhaps headlining? I'm sure they puled out of that slot last year?

Not sure how big Gabrielle Aplin is nowadays. Can see her a bit earlier maybe

Mel C is playing in Romania on the Friday so guessing Sunday is most likely for her

opposite or around Elton John time is the only hope of it not being the sort of safety issue they got a slapped wrist for last year...
