Anyone have any recommendations for indie pop? Thinking along the lines of Tame Impala, Metronomy, Glass Animals etc.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Not sure if they’ve been mentioned but The Last Dinner Party are gonna be very big. 
Their one song has nearly 3 million streams on Spotify in just over a month and they’re supporting Florence and First Aid Kit.

Seems they’re getting a big industry push and fair fucks cos their music seems really good. 
Reckon they’ll be a good one to see at Woodsies

I'm looking forward to seeing Crawlers on left field - they've got a fun rock-indie vibe going on. Saw them at radio one big weekend last year and they were great!

Came across The Sixters on the Woodsie line up. Ukrainian rock band look pretty good!

Olivia Dean on Jools Holland last night was very good.

Playing both Silver Hayes and Strummerville 👍

Silver Hayes - Lonely Hearts and  Strummerville

[circus92]

You figured it out by the time I had answered 👍 ... and, yes she is really good.  Definitely someone I am going to try and see

Hahaha the two posters I hadn’t checked!

I’ll definitely have to catch her at one of her other shows seen as I’m missing Glasto

Interested for reports back on this one as judging by their position on the poster it seems like they’re gonna be first on one day, but they’re very much having a Wet Leg-esque industry push right now so I expect the tent to be pretty damn busy for an 11am show.

The Lottery Winners are very melodic indie pop. New album is fucking class too.

They are my must see of the festival. Just got tickets to see them in Manchester at the end of the year also

I would recomend Callum Easter who is on the Saturday Strummerville lineup, brilliant live,

If you can imagine a cartoon James Bond villain playing a set this is as close as you would get. Can be quite dark but loaded with humour.

 

 

He'll most likely be on stage with Young Fathers as well. Share the same studio in Leith and was their support on the recent tour (as well as part of their band). Nice lad as well. See ya there!

Not too far away. I now live in Heywood, but I am from Norden originally.

Playing 4 times so harder to avoid them!

Sometimes thats a trick and you end up missing all of them. So I know of Avalon and Strummerville. Where else?

On a very small stage, The Hive? Sunday night, DJ dudes go by the name of TIBASKO. Found them through a playlist. 

Ooo thanks for this recommendation. Fans of Bicep should check them out….

Second Working Man's Club. They are brilliant live. Full on synths/industrial/new wave. New Order/Joy Division feel, great frontman.

Also would add Wunderhorse, Murder Capital, Panic Shack.

 

Seen WMC twice and will be making it a hat-trick at GF. 
 

Also saw Panick Shack last week and can highly recommend. Very fun.

Really hoping their Leftfield set gets a kind slot for me, clash-wise. They're gonna be a LOT of fun in there.

Absolutely stonking band. Should go off on truth stage, really interested to see what day and time they get for this.

they should be on a main stage really, no one deserves it more

[Memory Man]

Echo all of the following:

panic shack (girl power punk) viagra boys, working mens club, say she she, los bitchos (really fun danceable pop/rock not many lyrics!) tinariwen (african rock) Scalping (noise/techno rock) Kanda bongo man

add:

charlotte adigery & boils pupul - for fans of soulwax maybe? Funky danceable bangers

Billy nomates - solo alt pop, hard to describe in words!

Ezra collective - latin jazz bangers!

Showhawk Duo - speed guitar covers

Big comedy names but low on the overall lineup - phil wang and maisie adam, both will pack cabaret out. Jamali maddix is a great laugh too

Not low as such but jake shears original scissor sister will be brilliant on avalon

Side note - this has made me really hyped for the festival!
