knew bugger all about them until recently but they defo are not quite at that level yet.

They make me want to puke cheesy copper face jack's muck. She said was torture to ears when it came out nearly 20yrs ago and still is. Same year atomic kitten, sclub 7, Westlife etc were around sad days for chart music.

You do know that no one's forcing you to listen to them?

Have you ever thought about hang-gliding into the festival site.

Yeah WTF! have they got to do with Atomic Kitten, Westlife and SClub7, they couldn't be any more different.

Honestly might have to at this stage. People are selling tickets at the same cost you'd get a mortgage on a house at these days.

Nice announcement today.

Delighted with Richie Hawtin as I've yet to see him live. Richard Ashcroft will be perfect for pints in the sun and wailing along to the tunes. Charli XCX is a guilty pleasure of mine so will pop along for a pop bop. And Johnny Marr: nuff said.

Look forward to trying out The Viagara Boys and Gerry Cinnamon from the recommendations from previous posters on here. Fjaak are also worth a listen for any dance music fans.

Getting giddy now!

Very happy with that so far, would want to see all of the below & that's without the usual extras Mother Djs, Attention Bebe, Electric Ireland tent;

Are Attention Bebe playing again this year? They were great last year.

Do Mother DJs play the picnic often?
I was only on the tent for a while last year, but it sounded great.

Don’t they always have an end of picnic party? Think that’s the one I always try to make, but never do.

Every year I've been going, they are basically part of the Earthship stage furniture (Body&Soul Village) and same for Attention Bebe too although they didn't do Body&Soul Village last year, I think they did play Trailer Park though.

They close out body and soul every Sunday night on the earthship stage. Last year they played Jerry fish tent for the first time on the sat night

My best memories of ep have been at mother tbh

Homework done... Was starting to panic a bit as I was working my way through the new additions alphabetically a la the earlier announcement as I wasn’t feeling a lot of it. Until I got to White Reaper. Oh yes...a beefed-up Cheap Trick / Lemon Twigs, quite reminiscent of Redd Kross. Lovely, lovely ripe bit of cheese.

Wow, I see what you mean. Cleverly throwing people off the scent with the death metal moniker. Very enjoyable stuff. That'll be a fun tent. The Cheap trick Lemon Twigs analogy is spot on. Ta for the tip.

Just listened to Gerry cinnamon for the first time

Think my ears started to bleed

drunkmonkey

That's Friday night pub stuff and not even an Irish pub. I worry about the younger generation. First Ed now this.

Fingers crossed he's not clashing with the Strokes, eh?

Would absolutely love Beak> to be added. Saw them at Glastonbury 2016 in William's Green, where they announced themselves by saying, "Hello, we're the Inspiral Carpets!", and a lengthy comedy rant about the inaccuracies in the blurb in the festival guidebook. Fantastic tunes to back it all up. Would be perfect for Cosby/Rankin's Wood.

Saw them at primavera in June, great stuff indeed. Had a ticket for Whelans gig but couldn't make it.

Cinnamon sounds terrible all right but you have to agree his success in a short period of time has been phenomenal.

Talos is a decent addition and also Otherkin were great in 2017, lead singer loves a bit of stage diving. Saw Jonny Marrs Glastonbury set on BBC and it was good, well able to sing a few Smiths classics too.

It’s a fantastic line up now, best in years I think.

drunkmonkey

He'll be a big comedown from Therapy the week before.

Otherkin live are brilliant. Had a good mosh with the lead singer at ep a few years ago. Met them a few months later at their album launch in tower records, went in by chance and they were belting it out. Sounded like they kept up the madness after their gig. Defo worth seeing.

He wrote the songs,recorded his own music ,released it without a record company and no airplay from radio stations. Done it all through social media. Seen him at Glastonbury and he was brilliant.
