New FEELS and Julia Jacklin albums both doing it for me at the moment. Good stuff.

Ezra is just a placeholder for when Sheeran doesn’t have any new material. Really don’t see him getting the headliner gig, much like people thought Sam Smith was gonna do it after Adele. Smith and Ezra haven’t had quite the same world dominating effect as the other two.

Whenever there’s a secret set it’s always pretty easy to find out who it is on the day by coming on here. Anybody who did a bit of sleuthing knew it was The Killers in 2017, and likewise for most of the others from previous years.

They had money left over from the three headliners as they all only cost a fiver each.

George Ezra is in about the same position as Ed Sheeran was when he played third down in 2014 so I imagine he’d get similar treatment if he played. Really doesn’t seem like a sub to me and a post-Kylie spot would be perfect really, as we’ve all been predicting for a year now. But hopefully he just steers clear entirely and sticks to his boreathon headline sets.

Wait what?

Blue Album and Pinkerton. Patchy as hell from there.

Yeah not bad at all that. And by some miracle, I’m quite liking this other song they just released. Not the classic Weezer sound by any means but tons better than the previous two singles. Getting Phoenix vibes.

I’ve been thinking the same but hadn’t really considered them below Stormzy - moreso The Cure (although not sure where that’d leave Vampire Weekend). Surprise set is always a possibility I guess but I’m sure another sub slot would be much preferable, and I’m sure the festival would be more than willing to give it to em.

Not a whole lot to get sad about but we can count all of this lot out: https://solidsoundfestival.com/lineup/

Was that not last year/year before?

Could just be promoting his new makeup line.

Saw them being talked about on here, listened to a few of their songs and then noticed they’re playing right round the corner from me so bought a ticket (last one seemingly). Should be good. Williams Green or low John Peel I imagine?

But again, only in a year like this would they seem like a good booking coming out of nowhere. Any other year it would be a bit of a ‘The Cure???’ reaction, pretty much like it was when Neil first told us his info (or maybe that was just me...)
