    Onthe bright side: Loved The Armed & Pavement are putting on an extremely tight greatest hits show (with a deep cut here and there)

    My partner is in the pit for Pavement right now (I went to see Gecs) so I'm really glad! Exactly what she was hoping for!

    Having really enjoyed the Friday of this, the Saturday turned out to be a bit of a let down. They still hadn't built the second outdoor stage so some acts from that got shunted onto other stages and they had to redo the set times at short notice for the others. In fairness they communicated this as well as they could and reasonably promptly, but not in time for the first bands on the Bad Vibrations stage. Feel like they need to tighten things up next year as the Friday also had issues with set times being moved and stages and tents not being open when they were supposed to be.

    The sound on the main stage for Amy and The Sniffers and then Primal Scream was really poor and made the latter particularly difficult to enjoy. Really enjoyed Katy J Pearson who was on earlier, and Comet is Coming who played some new stuff. Nation of Language in the tent were probably my highlight. Faye Webster was let down by poor sound and a lot of people talking. I also saw Sorry, Fat White Family and Kevin Morby who were all decent. 

    Felt this, the sound on the main stage certainly got worse the further the day went on? Which I found odd.

    TCIC and Special Interest (honestly one of the best live acts around atm) were certainly the highlights of the day. Yard Act were fine but I feel I'm at a point with them where I've gotten everything I could get out of them.

    Saw Modern Woman in the tent and have to say I was very disappointed with the way they were treated by the festival. Massive soundbleed from the imo pointless gazebo that was at one point just playing slowed down versions of generic cheese and had their set almost slashed in half. 

    The Bad Vibrations stage not being open was a pisser and meant we had to miss Tropical Fuck Storm who tbh were one of the acts we were most excited to see. 

    For the price I think last year's edition was more than worth it. This time round probably not. 

    Hopefully they sort out the problems for next year.

    Ah so they didn't listen to the complaints about Moth Club/Bad Vibrations sound bleed at all then? That's good. 

    I thought this as well, very dissapointing. Had to leave Porridge Radio and Dry Cleaning because I couldn't hear a thing.

    I've never really listened to them before, but had already come to the conclusion that they are the sort of band I should go and see having heard as little as possible. The above only makes me even surer that that is the right approach - looking forward to the gig!

    Honestly pal I'd say the opposite.

     

    When I saw King Gizzard in the past I was fairly new to the band and really didn't enjoy it, I found a lot of songs blended into one another and it just felt repetitive. 


    However, I then got really into them last year and listened to the Ally Pally live they released (the show I went to) and honestly appreciated it a lot more.

    New additions to Saturday.  Not heard of any of them before apart from Amyl & The Sniffers (don’t like them much).

    I've been trying to convince myself to leave this what with Primavera literally the opposite side of the weekend but between Floating Points, Amyl, TCIC, Yard Act, Boy Harsher, Billy No Mates, Chubby, Dream Wife, Faye Webster, Special Interest and Trpoical F*ck storm I cant say no. That's a decent day in itself.

    It's really frustrating, isn't it?  That looked like such a great party day.  I suppose it still is, but Grace Jones was a major part of the attraction for me.  What I don't want to see is Grace added to the line-up on a different day as I'm not really interested in any of the others so far.  🤞

    Just imagining the bizzare world where she's the support for the second Pearl Jam date. (tbh that'd probably increase my chances of going)

    You realize Elton has 9 dates at The O2 in november?

    And they'll more than likely be pushed back till 2022 as well. Certainly cant see him playing London in the summer if that's the case.
