would love to see The Waterboys back there, but they only played a couple years back so doubt it.

and looks like they could only do the sunday... but maybe!

One of them passed away just recently so i think that's probably unlikely.

Karl Wallinger left the band nearly 40 years ago so won't be a factor in current plans.

Realistically, The Waterboys is Mike Scott and whichever group of musicians he wants to play with. None of the other current members have been around long term.

Rodrigo y Gabriela got to be a good shout for Acoustic tent.

playing Bristol on 23rd June

I hope so.

The Bluetones are doing an acoustic tour bizarrely enough so could be there. Haven't seen them since the early Supergrass tour in 1994. Was a big fan back in the day

I saw them both on that tour too. At the Astoria 2, with Ash coming on as a secret support - it was right around the time Kung Fu came out. My mates met Jarvis at the bar, I was busy watching Ash.

Nice, Ash were such a good band in their prime. I seen them at Southampton Joiners Arms, 3 quid on the door I seem to remember.

I was probably at that gig. Definitely saw Ash at the Joiners in the 90's. I was too young to be there I seem to remember.

The Astoria was such a good venue.

Richard Ashcroft for the Acoustic? His acoustic set at Latitude a few years ago was epic

That would be excellent. The Verve at the Pyramid is still one of my all-time best Glastonbury memories.

It would be at the top of my must see list

Travis? Just listened to the new single. Album out July. Supporting The Killers on uk dates around G

[dockyjunior]

Troye Sivan has a Glastonbury hole in his UK tour so was expecting to see him on the line up. Sunday Avalon headliner maybe?

Just to double check, did a search for Fatboy Heaton Abbott acoustic and it didn't turn up, if I take the stage name off it just seems to be their individual names listed in actual or potential line ups

Fatboy in the acoustic? Nah

Way too big when it comes to Glastonbury I imagine and just don't think it would be great. The Acoustic tent isn't a great place to see someone.

By far the best smaller/academy venue I've beeb too.

[Metal Monkey]

Bellowhead would be good for either. They’ve played Avalon before. Probably unlikely though, they’re touring at the end of the year but I expect they are on their own individual tours in June. 

[chris_nre]

 Can’t be bothered!

If you’re wondering what will be on the acoustic I’d look at the last 2/ 3 years and most will be there. They can be rather loyal to a fair few acts. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Unless there's a new booker you're right. Likely to be very familiar.

Avalon 2019 and 2022. So, Oh My God.. seem to be playing Glastonbury, so quite likely I imagine. Dead South could easily slot into their tour. Also Magic Numbers and a few others.

...also makes you realise they're quite lazy with their poster artwork!

[BlueDaze]

John Bramwell (he of I am Kloot) is touring his new album sporadically throughout the year and I imagine he will pop up at a few festivals…

would be a great addition to The Acoustic bill..
