    Might be a bit presumptuous of me, but I don't think they'll need generate big clashes on Thursday (Pulp x Vampire Weekend x Deftones x Beth Gibbons ), mainly because it's usually the day with the fewest people at the festival. They usually don't have big crowd controls that day. Another thing is that someone might have a very diverse taste or want to see artists from very different genres... (Freddie Gibbs & Madlib x Deftones for example) 

     

    Similarly, I don't think artists like Kim Petras, Peggy Gou, and A.G Cook (for example), who cater to a specific audience, will clash that day. However, I do believe that on Friday and Saturday there will be deliberate big overlaps due to the bigger crowds 

     

    Yeah, the Thursday was practically empty in the first weekend in 2022 ; )

    (kidding, I know what you mean)

    and what performances or artists do you think will be in Mordor, apart from the obvious ones? 

    I'd say it's not really possible to make an educated guess as to who will be on Mordor early,. Just too many possible candidates.

    Yeah at least for me the run is pretty clear on Thursday... Minor act 1 > Minor act 2 > Beth Gibbons > Deftones > Vampire Weekend > Pulp > Justice 

    .

    I would be astonished if Beth Gibbons isn't on much later and clashing with one of those names. I know they won't but if only they could put her on in Auditori and early on, it would have been perfect.

    Of EOTR size? Not a lot that have been announced and aren't already there. Goat Girl, maybe. John Grant's got a new one coming but he'd likely have been added by now. Cassandra Jenkins was a big fan of EOTR and just announced a new record this week. Les Savy Fav would be quite something for late night Big Top (though I'm leaning towards English Teacher taking that slot, both because the festival evidently loves them and they're now a top ten album act)

    Sorry, I meant who is already down as playing.

     

    Who has a new album from the current lineup due soon?

    The long lead time until tickets coming on sale is giving me anxiety!

     

    It's a long time since The National have played a circa 2,000 capacity venue and I'm in Barcelona for Primavera (then going to Italy to see them).

    I don't have VIP ticket just regular, and there doesn't seem to be an upgrade option (nor does Cherry Tree National fan club seem to be offering a priority window) so in the lottery with the masses and praying seems to be the only way to get tickets. 

    How much in demand are these shows? Exceptionally a suppose. 

    Won't be anywhere near as bad as you fear

    - tickets aren't available to day ticket holders

    - lot of tourists don't arrive til Thurs or later on the Weds night

    - some locals will still be working at that early time/Spanish tend to prefer to go out later

    - The National have played a million times and are playing 2 days later

    - Lots of people are disorganised/don't care enough and won't access the tickets when they go on sale

    - Some will want to see Phoenix and is a bit of a pain to see both

     

    Just some of the reasons...

    National starts at 19:00, Phoenix at 21:50. assuming 1:45 long set from National gives us an hour for the trip. sounds doable, maybe miss the first few songs of Phoenix.

     

    In a taxi is 10 mins max!
