Peter_Quaife Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 As the title suggests, do bands often play 2 years in a row (Bragg, Asterix, BoT aside) ? Is it a rarity? From last year I'd love to see Viagra Boys and the Lathums back. For some unknown reason I think the Lathums could well be back in '24 🤘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Happens a lot in the lower half of the bill or with acts who's careers are accelerating. Happens less regularly the higher you go up the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty rare for anyone on the main stages (Woodsies/Park/Pyramid/Other/Acoustic/West Holts) unless they've had a significant career bump and playing a bigger stage.

Drinky Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) The View did it twice in one festival in 2007 (Pyramid Friday, Other on Sunday - the line-up really was absolutely rotten that year, The Twang headlining John Peel feels unbelievable even now) Edited September 12, 2023 by Drinky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Seems to be the case that for bigger acts on the five main stages, if you release a new album between festivals then you have a chance of being rebooked, but it’s very rare that they rebook anybody on the same album/tour unless they absolutely blow up between festivals (Amy Winehouse going from middle of the day West Holts ‘07 to subbing the Pyramid ‘08 an example I can think of). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinky Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Sigrid did three in a row thanks to the fallow year and Covid (2017 Park, 2019 Other, 2022 John Peel)Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Of the bigger acts, Van Morrison is right up there, playing 1992, 1993, and 1994 amongst his many appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mario man Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Supergrass played the same spot on Pyramid (3rd down) 03 & 04 - however the second year was standing in for the Libs I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newer acts of this level could do, but TWOD and Manics won't be back for probably 3-4 fests minimum. Manics last played about a decade ago IIRC before this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
