  1. Signed up for Amazon Prime this month for all of the football they are showing. Only realised last night that Rip up the Road was on it. What a brilliant watch. So interesting to see behind the scenes, especially immediately before and after gig/festival shows seeing the effect different crowds can have on the band.

    Really well filmed and edited - would love more bands to do something like this.

  2. Haim is a weak headliner for a festival of this size. At over £200 a ticket you'd be hoping for more established acts at the top of the bill. I could understand Haim as a decent sub or headlining the second stage at Latitude, or could see them headlining a mid size festival charging around the £150-170 mark for the weekend such as Boardmasters. This looks like they may have spent a bit too much elsewhere (on Chems and LG?) so saving a bit on the third headliner.

    Jesus! When did it become four days?! 

    I still don't think they'll ever top 2018, and what is that Friday all about?! 

    Looks like they’ve left a gap for headliner and sub for Friday. Wouldn’t surprise me if kendrick headlines, he’s doing Bilbao BBK that weekend and good genre coverage for Mad Cool in their headliners. Strong line up!

  4. Safe but strong booking in my opinion. LG appeals to a massive range of ages and even when his voice isn’t spot on, his sets are filled with quality and usually end with some big sing alongs. He subbed before having released his first solo album in 2017 so makes sense to me to be headlining

  5. I usually like to listen to an album at least 5 times before commenting as sometimes it takes a few plays to get it. Listened to it quietly over breakfast and it didn’t really jump out at me, then listened again on way to work turned right up and absolutely love it. 
    As some have said i think it was right to have it as a separate album, the runner, black bull, wash off and 10,000 feet are the stand outs for me. Can already see some of these being incredible live. Perfect Friday night headliner material ??

  6. Franc Moody are planning a UK tour in Spring:

    26/2 - Dublin, 28/2 - Glasgow, 29/2 - Manchester, 2/3 - Bristol, 3/3 - Brighton, 4/3 - Nottingham, 5/3 - London, 7/3 Leeds.

    One of my favourite gigs of this year seeing them at Thekla after only discovering them a week before the gig. Highly recommend!

    I don't think Foals are big enough to headline Glastonbury at the moment. They were meant to play Boardmasters this year which is a considerably smaller festival. 1975 are a good shout though, think they are in with a good chance.

    Disagree with this, Foals did headline a few smaller festivals this year but were booked before the latest album which is widely seen as their best and goes down incredibly live. Also Stormzy went from subbing Boardmasters to headlining Glastonbury with just one album and a few singles. Foals have another album out this Autumn, and their secret set went down really well at glastonbury this year, if they’re ever going to headline I think 2020 will be the year

  8. Haven’t seen it mentioned yet but Serge from Kasabians solo project The SLP debut album came out. Pretty solid effort on first listen. On the last 2 Kasabian albums there tasters of a more electronic direction with Treat and Are You Looking for Action? - this project has more of that. Would be interested to see how it goes down live

  9. New release is decent, however I think it’s one of those songs that is actually better live than on record. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the album now and seeing what size venues they tour the new album at

  10. Also had to leave this morning, tent was starting to give up and had a few leaks, all my clothes were drenched and I’m not usually one to give in to the weather but that was relentless. Really gutted as a run of sunflower bean, Miles Kane, beans on toast, Wolf Alice and then foals is incredible with no clashes, knew it was too good to be true. Hope everyone who braved it has a good final day!

  11. Heard some horror stories from Thursday which isn’t ideal on hottest day of the year. Got to car park at 8.30 and tent was set up by 9.30 and felt quite organised this morning. Hoping the thunderstorms either hold off or aren’t too bad and have a good weekend all ??
