[Music] Glastonbury - June 2019

[Machiavelli]

Likely highlights for me;

The Cure - dependent on set
Tame Impala - new album
Jon Hopkins
Idles
Kurt Vile
Interpol
Aurora
Fat White Family
Maribou State
Shura

A fair few or those are playing at End of the Road, alongside plenty of other goodies. And I strongly suspect that the festival experience will be a lot better too. Certainly a lot easier to get around.

 

[Machiavelli]

I’d add TGTBTQ, Jon Hopkins, Hot Chip, Sons of Kemet and The Comet is Coming. Oh, and don’t forget the rain.

Glad to hear that you've discovered Shabaka. Next for you is Binker & Moses, Nubiya Garcia (both part of the 'happening' London jazz scene) and Black Flower.

 

[Machiavelli]

Ah okay, I thought this was the final list. The Cure definitely. Kamasi Washington, Idles and Lauren Hill would be my priorities but The Killers? Headlining? Really?

I'd go along with your evaluation, and think that The Killers are probably for children*

Pretty sure Lauren Hill and Kamasi Washington are playing Love Supreme this year. Local and cheap.

Lauren Hill is. I’m considering a day ticket (my kids would hate it). Kamasi Washington is playing a different one on the seafront

I've camped the last three years but my little crew has disbanded to pastures new this time around so will be getting a day ticket. Trying to decide which day now. Snarky Puppy on the Saturday is the big draw at the moment for me.

Let’s face it, this year looks a bit gash by Glastonbury standards

This literaly gets said every single year. And every single year its amazing. In fact the headline music is just a distraction from all the good stuff at Glastonbury.

I’m quite familiar with Moses Boyd now. I’ll give the others a spin.

True, but when I look at the Glastonbury’s I did the big headliners I saw (Radiohead, The Prodigy, Roni Size...) we’re still absolutely banging and created some of my fondest memories

This. I’ve said before, if you struggle to amuse yourself at Glastonbury you can’t be into music. There is always something interesting going on...and I have lost count of the amount of times my plans have gone out the window due to stumbling across something else.

I’m with you on this. Stones, u2 and Blur were three headliners which delivered and provided magic on the Pyramid. But some of my other fondest memories are from things during years where the headliners weren’t as big...or of much interest to me.

The line-up is very Isle of Wight with four half-pints of Carling in a cardboard egg tray and a meal deal on the way home

I’d be elated with; The Forest, Play For Today, Lovesong, Boys Don’t Cry and In Between Days. That last song would be great played to 100,000 punters.

A Forest.
Sorry pendant alert, but it's my favourite by The Cure.

Sorry, what came over me? A brilliant, timeless song.

 

[Wozza]

Way, way more! Springsteen played for nearly 3 hours in 2009.

... to a dwindling crowd.

I'll be there, glamping this time [emoji57]

Theon Cross' new album FYAH is great too (the tuba player from Kemet).


PS the Black Flower album I know is called Artifacts. Stunning.

Looks like it could be a muddy one! Last time I went it was horrendous, some decent wellies are in order

Mavis Staples and Roy Ayers two I would have to go and see.
I saw Roy Ayers at Ronnie Scott's a few years ago, great funky xylophone jazz.
Mavis Staples is a legend.
