Bosslar Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Is it just me? Or were they genuinely woeful. Had misgivings, obviously, but sounded like the vocals had deliberately been turned down? Terrible disappointment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzim Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Me too, the sound was terrible. Had to leave, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjsell Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I had a great time, I was about 10 rows from the front though. I got everything I hoped for with their set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milly16 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Just awful so we left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthwindandfire2205 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I was right at the front and it was brilliant fun. Had a great group round me who danced and sang for the whole set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJL Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Yeah the sound was terrible where we were but no doubt it was great down the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 We weren't that far back but even there the sound was fuzzy and too quiet, we didn't last the full set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterfalls212434 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Fucking bollocks it was how they could have the sound that bad and not do anything about it was beyond me did they have no sound guy near the back or? Piss poor for a headline set volume wise. I won't lie it just made the night get off to a crap start we were really looking forward to a bit of a boogie before heading out for the night but it was just a muffled mess. Wish I'd gone to see foos at least pyramid sound guys seem to know their stuff this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonodillieono Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Liam G and the avalanches where the same where we stood. Unlistenable with the sound issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 The vocals were a bit quiet but it sounded mostly OK at the front. Really enjoyed it, barring Tito's solo album spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeble Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I was near the front and the atmosphere was fantastic, I had high hopes and low expectations but the were bloody fantastic, I had a shitty day, really low so decided the jacksons were a better bet than the foos, I was absolutely buzzing afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatyeti24 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 same thing with the avalanches. Id waited a lot of years to see them, and I could see the band doing the business, but the sound, for whatever reason, was awful. Left halfway through, disappointed.

garc1a Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) It was terrible and it couldnt have anything to do with the time of performance as dizzee was excellent the night before on the same stage. They just won my worst show ive seen at glasto award. I left after a few songs and thier jive bunny style mix of hits. There was zero atmosphere in the field, only a few cheers from the front rest of the field was like a grave yard.

kalifire Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Brutal. I passed by the back side of it and heard 'Can You Feel It' but decided not to indulge them and headed onward. Sounds like I missed a bullet. At WH now waiting for an overdue Shaggy. Sound does seem to be a little inconsistent. Starting to re-think Justice now.

Fork_UK Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) Didn't see the Jacksons, but the sound for The Avalanches was terrible too. It was because the wind was blowing from behind the audience towards the stage, carrying the sound away from the audience. Not a lot the sound crew can do about it. It's just a hazard of having outdoor stages. Edited June 26, 2017 by Fork_UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcatraz Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I was near the front so unaware of the sound issues bar some low vocals that tbh at the time I put down to being 4 old boys I had a great time though. Tito's songs were hilariously bad though. Down with the kids yo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricci's Special Kebabs Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I had a wonderful time, ended up at Greenpeace afterwards where Jarvis Cocker was DJ. Up there with one of the best nights I've had there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
