My daughter is so excited Baby Queen is playing - I think she’ll gat a surprisingly large crowd. I’ve seen her live a few times, and she’s very good.
-
I love The National, and I would hope they'll do some of their more immediate songs to hook the casual listeners. Some of the earlier classics took a while to land for me, requiring repeat hearings to engage, while a number off the last couple of records have more linear structures with quite hooky choruses, so I'd expect a sprinkling of those. So long as the brilliant Weird Goodbyes is one, I'll be happy.

The difference may be that they and their mates are not deeply into music (though they know their stuff). So they’re looking forward to Coldplay, Dua Lipa, Little Simz, Olivia Dean, Anne-Marie, Avril Lavigne, Arlo Parks, etc

My two 20-year old daughters are very excited by this line-up.
-
Does Topshop still exist? 😁
-
To my mind, the best rock drummer around, and so distinctive.
-
Ah, fair enough. Thanks.
-
I thought I'd join Discord to see what was said on there, but found the process incomprehensible. I'm supposed to request a server or something. What is that all about, and how do I know what server to request? Thanks

Well happy with this - their remixes are excellent and old-school, like me (old-school, not excellent).
-
Pretty sure they were asked about this somewhere (NME perhaps) and said they hadn't been asked.
-
Based on previous years' posters, ABC seem a shoo-in.
-
Oh I don’t doubt that - they’re good. But I know a lot of people here who like Blur and who might be challenged by some of Jockstrap’s more esoteric material. If they only went because they liked the “woo-hoo” song… 🙂
-
I'd love to be there, if only to see the American Blur fans' reaction to Jockstrap.
-
REM were hardly known in the UK at the time (hence the bottles), although I was there as one of their tiny band of devotees. They were specifically requested by U2, so this may have been the start of the bands' friendship.
-
Late to the "Headliners supported by headliners " chat, but am surprised that no-one mentioned U2's Longest Day MK gig, where the main support was REM (who spent a good deal of their set dodging bottles, chucked by U2 fans who had no idea who they were). Also on the bill were Spear Of Destiny, Billy Bragg, and The Ramones. A good day.
-
That's two of us then. 🙂
-
And the fact he’s never taken more than 30 minutes to write a song. I’m assuming that meets the “music pours out” criterion.
-
Bang in the middle of the continent, with the infrastructure to put on something like this, and fantastic beer. Seems a no-brainer to me. 😁
-
Depends how you define edgy. REM were cutting edge in the 80s, Radiohead in the 90s and again with Kid A/Amnesiac. Both brought the mainstream to them. Oasis were edgy in that you never knew when they would start a fight.
-
Ooooh - Babymetal. That would be good.

The National have announced European festivals with a Glastonbury-shaped hole in the schedule.

Thanks!
-
I can’t see it on the map and none of the information crew I’ve talked to seem to know. Thanks!

I might be the only one headed to The Rum Shack for Alyona Alyona, then? 🙂
