“put all the black artists” 

 

 

I know people love jumping on anything Supre says, but in their defence sometimes it has felt like some black artists who are popular/mainstream enough to be on the Pyramid have been shoved on West Holts (or Jazzworld as it was). Whether this is just because the stage booker is a big fan of theirs or because there has been an undertone of "non-white acts = world music" at the fest probably isn't a question that can be answered (at least not by wild speculation on an internet forum), but there definitely has been a bit of a "put all the black artists on WH" vibe some years.

You get black artists all over, Truth Stage and multiple venues in Silver Hayes. How about Stormzy and Little Simz? Run the Jewels, De La Soul, Wu Tang Clan, Stevie Wonder to name but a few that have been on the Pyramid

Well yes, I don't think Supre is saying literally every black artist is on WH. And of course some might choose a later slot on WH over an earlier one on Pyramid or Other. But sometimes it has been like "why is [popular mainstream black artist] on Jazzworld when there's nothing 'jazz' or 'world' about their music? 🤔"

I know they dont fit the ''these are where we put all the black artists'' stage vibe.

Last year all the West Holts headliners were white?

 

I think it's not as simple as saying West Holts is a stage where they put black artists. It's more the fact that it tends to book a lot of acts within the hip hop, soul, R&B, jazz, world, electronic, reggae, funk and disco genres. Genres which tend to have a lot of black representation, but I could list quite few white artists that have been booked for the stage within those genres too.

Does anyone have any idea where Joe Goddard will be playing and in what guise? 

 

Was on the way to the Park to see him a few years ago and got caught up in Goldie doing a Rave & Jungle set on Arcadia.

Apologies if this has been covered with knowledge/intel, but are we sure that Noah Kahan is a sub? Given the alphabetical nature of the poster below each day's top two lines, it seems odd to have a sub on the top line, though I realise that Raye seems locked in as a sub...

 

My question arises from my typical position of being relatively uninterested in many of the definite/likely headliners for the Big Five™️, not that's too big an issue - I always find a brilliant set at headliner time, even if not on Pointy to Park. But, after last year's personal paucity of Fri-Sun headliners, I'd really like to see Noah Kahan close one of the biggies.

I hope so, I really want to see Prodigy too. If he clashes with them I'll be gutted.

Just had a look at Friday trying to work out who might headline WH. Seen a few suggestions for Busta Rhymes. He kinda past me by, just had a listen, okay but not convinced, bit of a “pound shop Snoop”. 
 

Any chance it may be Burning Spear? If not either of these then who?

I've heard people say they did, but I listened back and didn't hear it.

 

I went back and listened to the episode on the lineup announcement, and I didn’t hear them mention it either—unless It was on a podcast after that one.

Did he not mention it on his breakfast show? Hoping he’s not to be honest, defo see him through the day but not sure I’d commit to a headliner if there’s other options.

 

Checking out his recent set lists and he’s been opening with the Ante Up remix which is exactly the sort of thing I want to be hearing at a festival! What a banger.

I think Goldie playing The Glade is the only thing that came out of the breakfast show.

 

The placements on the podcast were just the ones on the press release on the official site.

Beth Gibbons told me the other night that she thinks she's playing on the Park Stage.  

This surprised me because I'd thought she'd be on Woodsies.  Didn't feel appropriate to push for more information, sorry. She's keen to watch Neil Young though, so she's either unaware that she's conflicting with him or there's no clash.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
