Max did his AV set at Latitude in the Film tent a couple ofyears ago and it was stunning (to an embarrassingly small crowd of us) even in there, so anything bigger should be immense. Far Out screen and visuals actually looked quality last year for Slowdive's set up so for one I'm pretty optimistic. And it helps that I adore Max's tunes.
Talented individual, but proper 'marmite'!
Rightly or wrongly, a significant cohort of EOTR regular attendees are still scarred by her last attendance there, mainly 'cos she pretty much insisted that every other stage / act was quiet at the time of her performance. No option, watch her with no alternative. For that reason alone, I personally hope she is nowhere near a GM line up.
Maybe like a few others on here, looking forward to Allo Darlin tomorrow - has to be a decent chance that if they are proper alive again they'd choose, and be chosen, by EOTR. Remember them camping in among us mortals 'back in the day' at Larmer Tree.
Late to this party, sorry, can't wait for next weekend after the high of Green Man - F@@k the Bank Hol eh?
No order top ten (not there Thursday):
Ezra, Geese, Angel, Caroline, Sylvie, Sculpture, Divorce, Panic Shack, Horse Lords, TMC.
Unfortunately, although doing Settlers may have to join online meetings on the Wednesday.
Any advice welcome on coffee shops, hotels etc that could be a place to go with half decent wifi, and also that wouldn't mind me doing it (I'd buy coffees, sandwich etc through the day so not total freeloading).
Just to tilt the axis, check out Squid, deathcrash, Butch Kassidy, Anna B and from a very retro perspective The Walkmen. All wonderful live.
It is looking pretty amazing tbh.
Lots of interesting input from Simon to this article: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/mar/06/why-are-there-so-few-women-headlining-music-festivals
undercard looks pretty decent, clearly a challenge this year to be 'distinctive' with headliners at many festivals. not bad (but boygenius would have transformed it [#imho], hats off to connect festival)
