they're irish also they did ally pally last time (like november 2022) they have a pretty big R&L slot this year - any old act can do academies nowadays, they are a step above your circa waves etc
-
Usually in the Electronica & Dance thread someone makes a spreadsheet that says what genre each artist is, provides a link to a good example of one of their dj sets and says whether they are any good etc 🙂
-
If Nikki is solo would be great to pair you up so we can try together 🙂 upon reply from Nikki i can set us up a mini sheet
-
Fontaines arena tour £51 for ally pally
-
Even then it would be carnage. That's what it was last year in the Temple and it was complete roadblock at 11pm
-
There's no way what your insinuating is happening
-
Guessing you've not been to IOW lol. very similar audiences despite the quite different booking policies
-
Clearly these companies pay loads per ticket over face value - yet most aren't even getting a retail opportunity at the festival while its a shame to see tickets out the pool - for now, they are just subsidising the rest of us
-
Welcome to the forum!
-
Great to see it go to someone who's invested enough to be on glasto boards etc 🙂
-
I really don't think his fanbase attend R&L - would get absolutely clowned upon in the comments etc. Far more likely to do an APE day or play say IOW / Latitude I think. He has no precedent for playing fests like R&L (except in ireland)
-
Probably other - which is to be expected. good mix of pop and indie
-
@Fishman needs help tonight - PM him if you can help
-
Hozier would be an absolute joke like getting george ezra to do it. Just seen he's had a new song hit no.1 but otherwise theres been nothing for 10 years of note Hardly going to sell tickets to the gcse/uni crowd nor will it sell tickets to rock fans
-
No idea if this is aimed at me but plenty of people do care and are not going to see them due to this despite liking them - myself included (well i wouldn't pay £110 but would definitely for a normal price) I didn't even know about Ezra Koenig until just now - its clearly less widely known or people would be talking about it here , you'd definitely see at least one mention. Classic whataboutism though... I can't even seem to figure out the full story from a quick google, would be interested if someone can explain as theres a few reddit posts and poorly written articles but nothing apparent of much substance.
-
Some people clearly have more money than sense - and whatever sense is left over isn't enough to care. grim
-
I don't think they meant for free - just to take a smaller slot as a secret set which is paid a fair bit less than Pyramid Sub / Other Headliner (which is probably around where they are now)
-
Win trying to raise his bail money 😂
-
quite a cool idea this!
-
Festivals every year still manage to get mega stacked lineups - Reading early 00s looks insane for instance because loads of the acts on like the 4th stage are headliners now The struggle really is being so multi genre - its happened in the USA too. If your covering pop, rap and rock then there's a low chance of someone liking all 3/4 headliners
-
No promoter wants to be the first to book them. They could definitely do APE for example, but it seems they aren't interested in booking them at present. They are doing big shows abroad still - a market that is really not that different to the UK (just with promoters who don't seem to care)
-
If they were going to end it, that would have already been decided. It won't make a difference. If they were doing glasto it would already be agreed
-
The first paragraph is still the case However this is one of the UK's premier music festivals, not Q Club (other shite clubs are available) I think you misjudge how a lot of people react to fred again, i've caught him a few times and people will be doing all of the things you described for him AND all of the things described for Lana. Sure Fred Again has Rumble or whatever but he also has we've lost dancing, delilah etc. He makes whats branded 'emotional dance music' - heck he often closes with Billie (loving arms) where everyone ends up just hugging their mates (a phenomenon i've noticed multiple times when i've seen him).
-
It doesn't run every year anyway - they only bother if they have space left i think they can't fill with anything else (hence its often announced super late) mind you it would probably sell better than that irish finsbury park day lol
-
Going to be mega this currently listening to the 2017 glasto set at work 🙂 yet to see them, probably the act i'm most excited for this year!
