Aloe Blacc is a superb singer. Real quality.

Check out 'Loving you is killing me' on youtube

I need a dollar is all over the radio at the moment in the UK.

Correction "I need a dollar has been over the radio for at least 1 year .... check out jools holland ...aloe blacc is a group /band and they a the dog B**** for no UK readers of the org that means they a really really really good!

I'm now pleased because both Aloe Blacc and Hot Chip both playing ...Tinie will get the crowd going and Lab will do his thing...not bad at all really!

I think I'm right in saying Aloe Blacc is the 'man', not the band?

Either way, very good

I'm going

On one of their TV performances I recall the lead singer was wearing a Prince symbol.

Yes, Alexis is quite a Prince fan I'm told..

Do you know what their DJ set consists of? Do the whole band participate with live music or do they just go behind a turntable and spin discs? Would be disappointing for you as a fan I'd have thought.

Depends who's DJ-ing really.. It will be a straight DJ set I assume, no live stuff. http://www.freshdjsets.co...#more-8086 Not disappointed at all as I think they are more than capable of getting a party started with some nice tracks. I have seen them many times live

This seems like SUCH a long time ago..! Love this

HOT CHIP in the DJ tent....that's good news!! Sods law, they'll be spinning at the same time Prince is funking it up.

Not a bad line-up at short notice considering. Overall, I think its an amazing weekend line up for an up-coming festival, so close to where I live. Shame Brandon Flowers isnt on the Sunday to...

thing is he's doing this is a solo gig but other festivals with the killers. i'd much rather see the killers again. i just never got into his solo album, it was like they kept all the good stuff for the killers and his album was the stuff no-one wanted

the time

maceo parker

larry graham

sheila e

weny and lisa

vanity/appolonia six (both of them)

the family

madhouse

jill jones

ingrid chavez

mavis staples

in that kinda order with mavis first, so there is a bit of a change in vibe between sets

The bold Mavis on b4 jill jones n ingrid chavez??? No way man, she should be on after lisa and wendy 4 sure:D

very disapointed with the line up...tinnie tempah.. imeda may and havent heard of the other acts and larry f**kin graham... ... he is like the uncle you cant get rid of.?....i cant stand larry graham...yes i know he is a great bass player but has soon as he starts singing ... ..i just dont feel well...i had the displeasure of being in his company for a couple of hours in 2001 and had to listen to his jehovah bullshit which went on forever....i dont like the influence he has on prince at all...

.

anyway ...enough of the rant...i suppose its no surprise he is following him around the globe again...

.

surely they could have got some decent bands...?

.

.

.

oh and he should have been strung up for what larry did to one of my favourite prince tracks 'the cross'...i loved that track then larry appears on the scene and suddenly its ' the christ' with him singing on it...f **kin ruined...

Killers are the one band that I haven't seen that a really want to (well, discounting a full Guns 'n' Roses reunion!)...so totally with you on that. Agree with you on Flowers album to, definately felt like Killers leftovers, apart from Crossfire which I thought was good....but I imagine he might sing a Killers song or two during his set.

Does anybody know what the schedule is? Times?

And any rumours about how many tickets have been sold? Thanks

Just looked on Twitter - @hopfarmfestival says "Band and stage times will be released on the day. The headliners will finish at 11pm each night."

But, more importantly, in response to "So why are there so many less bands playing on the Sunday?!?!?" @hopfarmfestival replies "its because Prince is doing one hell of a set!"

Other than the headliners on the big stage Friday has 7 acts and Saturday has 8 acts. Sunday only has 5.. I think anybody who doesn't go is gonna regret this!

Thanks for the info!

Sounds great to me, but I'm still gonna wait and see what time he actually takes to the stage! I just hope this isn't just marketing hype.....

After much deliberation - I'll be there!..............

There is another "rumour" on Twitter that he has a 2.5 hour timeslot... Bear in mind I have used rumour and Twitter in the same sentence
