Just looking through the line-up. Anyone got any 'must-see' recommendations?

Looking forward to seeing Fat White Family, myself. Anyone any other suggestions for lesser-known acts (eg. ones playing Williams Green, etc).

Unfortunatley- for the fourth time in a row my Glastonbury viewing will be from the comfort of an armchair. Thank god for the BBC.

With my BBC hat on reminding Glastonbury viewers that it will again be live streaming online and on apps 6 of the main stages (other, peel, west holts, pyramid, introducing) from about 1pm every day as well as the normal TV/radio coverage.


Also 120+ sets are available on iplayer once it's over. / plug over


I'd be seeing Dexys ...

One of the most incongruous experiences I've had at Glastonbury was seeing Seasick Steve on the Pyramid all on his lonesome. He looked somewhat bemused, as did most of his audience. Mind you, he was great on one of the smaller stages the following day.

I'd be gravitating toward West Holts personally, there is anamazing array of brilliant music on that stage this year

Jurassic 5
Tune-Yards - Seen her twice and she is one of the best live performers out there. 3 albums in and she has quite a back catalogue now. VOICE FROM HEAVEN
Sun Ra Arkestra - Legendary Jazz Collective (12-13 piece band) who were the best thing I saw at Primavera the other week.
London Sinfomnietta and Johnny Greenwood - you may or may not know the Radiohead multi instrumentalist has been turning his hand to some classical music of late. Should be a really chilled start to the first day
John Wizards - Outrageous South African mix of house, R&B, shangaan, reggae, afro pop. Shouldn't work but is spellbinding live
Sean Kuti & Egypt 80 - Son of the legendary Fela Kuti with Fela's old band - another highlight of Primavera, I didn't stop dancing for their whole set. Listen to the track IMF.
Melt Yourself Down - Outrageously catchy double sax fronted punky jazz.

Park Stage
Four Tet - The man who got me into electronic music.
Parquet Courts - Pavement esque alt-rock types
ESG - Legendary American post-punk outfit who merged hip hop,disco and punk
Connan Mockasin - Beautiful psychedelic pop/rock
St. Vincent

Elsewhere
Jungle
Wild Beasts
Fat White Family
Royal Blood
Brian Jonestown Massacre
Tinariwen
Mad Professor
Jon Hopkins
Machinedrum
DJ Spinn & Taso
Adrian Sherwood
Richie Hawtin
Charli XCX
Annie Mac followed by Fatboy Slim should be fun,fun,fun
East India Youth
Psychemagik
Jamie XX
Marcel Dettman

My tip is to sack an entire evening off and go lose yourself up in the Shangri-la, Block 9 etc area.
