chatty Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 What clashes are you most worried about? Friday night looks like a bit of a disaster. Could see Radiohead, The Flaming Lips, A Tribe Called Quest and Mark Lanegan all perceivably hit the stage around the same time or without much time to switch, going by some of the predicted stage/times. Whats your nightnare scenario? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titters Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 My only 2 confirmed must-sees are The National and Radiohead, so looks like that'll be OK... But I'm also awaiting the Bonobo confirmation, and expect that's when the clash glumness will kick in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Radiohead and A Tribe Called Quest here. I can't even be mad and say 'thats a silly clash for them to do' cause they're nothing alike, but it'll still infuriate and upset me greatly if that turns out to be a thing. There are probably others but that one has gone right to the top so much so that I'd allow a lot of other clashes to make this one not happen.

Whats your nightnare scenario? Currently don't have anywhere to be on Friday, apart from as far from Radiohead as possible. Think for me its going to be lower down acts clashing - can't wait to be put out of misery and let the planning commence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcade fireman Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Anyone clashing with Radiohead doesn't even count as a clash for me, they might as well not be playing the festival as there's no chance I'll see them. A proper clash in my eyes is when there's some possibility of regret and some thought into who I might see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untz Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I have accepted my fate of having all the small number of acts I want to see clash. I'm just going to spend all my time chatting bullshit in the Spike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watergirl Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) I thought U2 versus Primal Scream playing 'Screamadelica' was the worst ever. Love both bands. There was even one of those Hitler videos about it. I don't think I have agonized over clashes since. Not enough on this year's line up that I really like to get worried at this stage...

nikkic Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 An alarming amount of things I'd like to see on The Pyramid this year. Think some of my clash decisions may be swayed by location and getting away from the old girl though, can't be spending half my weekend avoiding blankets and camping chairs.

verrymerry Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Something like Radiohead and the National but looks like they're not going to (I'm basing this purely on Titters post above!) I'd really like to see Flaming Lips because their set in 2010 (?) looked brilliant. If it's anything like last year EVERYONE I want to see will be on Friday or Sunday with mahoosive gaps on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merago Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) I am bracing myself for an absolutely awful set of clashes. I counted a frankly ludicrous amount of acts I'm keen on seeing from that first poster, so, other than The National (where I'll be if I have to crawl all the way to wherever they're playing from my tent), I'm currently not assuming I'm 100% definitely seeing anyone until the set times are out. I did have Radiohead up there as one of my assumed certainties, but A Tribe Called Quest potentially being up against them has put a hold on that. I'd have a tricky decision to make if that did come to pass... I keep trying to tell myself that all these potential clashes are a good thing really as they just emphasise how strong the lineup is, but in reality I don't feel that it's anything other than some form of cruel psychological torture.

OneLittleFish Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 My issue is that there's nobody yet for the Sunday closing slot I want to see. An anti-clash, if you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash011 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 National vs Avalanches currently one I'm worrying about most - National are a band I'm more keen to see generally but also their chances of success in a Foos sub slot are questionable whereas Avalanches will be a huge party.

SwedgeAntilles Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 My three "must sees" when the poster dropped were Radiohead, The Avalanches and The National. I've now added Laura Marling to that list. Radiohead are the only ones safe from clashes. Shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
