Looks like Fantano's review is going to be brutal. He needs to go into some kind of witness protection early before he drops the 2/10 😄 https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5_xeASPYX5/?igsh=MXd1ZWhjamx1bjNiMQ==

Florence Welch coming in with that clutch-save! She really does show-up Taylor on that song in terms of vocal ability.

Its really boring and repetitive. She needs to sack Jack Antonoff and inject some creativity into the next one. Also, majority of it is about her relationship with Matt Healy from 1975? And she outed ex Joe Alwyn's clinical depression in the lyrics? Gross.

Ive been to a few dozen festivals in Denmark and i've rarely seen designated drinking areas; people drink wherever. Only exception is if its the occasional fancier festival bar where they serve wine and cocktails in glasses.

A week between shows and 90% likely he would have to fly via London to get there anyway. 😄

Overall, im content for my tastes. Some acts I haven't seen before but have been wanting to see for a while (Heilung, Better Lovers, Skrillex, Myrkur), a bunch that have seen before and will reliably put on amazing shows (Foos, Jane's Addiction, PJ Harvey, The Armed, Frank Carter, Kvelertak, While She Sleeps) and some im curious to check out (Doja Cat, Khrungabin, Gel, Belle and Sebastian, Kim Gordon, Julie Christmas, Lankum etc). I usually don't like the rush of sprinting between stages at fests so have breathing room to check out the smaller stages and more niche acts. 🙂 Its clear they have struggled with larger-name headliners; Foos being the only main heavy-hitter. Thursday top slots look like a scrambling mess, Doja is definetly weaker/risky booking and no idea of SZA's size in Denmark as AFAIK she has never played here before. Surprised they didn't draft in a large Danish pop name (Lukas Graham, MO, Jada, Minds of 99) for one of the Orange headliner positions. I do understand why people are saying its massively weaker than previous years; because overall it is. Especially if you go back 5 or 6 years and compare it to 2019 and 2018 lineups.

Full Lineup announced:

I don't drink alcohol so not sure of the exact bar prices. But id perhaps say it would between 60 and 80. Im going to some danish fests in June so will report bar prices then; itll likely be very similar. 🙂

Expensive; as is the case for everything in Copenhagen. 😄 Last year for the Aphex Twin day there was alot of people chilling in the park outside the fest with cheap supermarket alcohol before heading in to the site. 🙂 but festival/event security is notoriously very lax in every event in Denmark so quite easy to sneak stuff in. I even got caught sneaking a bottle of spirits into Roskilde Fest and the teenage security guard shrugged then let me keep it. 😂 The location this year is different and a bit further out of the city centre so not as many supermarkets nearby.

Olivia Rodrigo, Foo Fighters, Taylor Swift Legend: Robbie Williams Rayes subbing any of the days Im doubtful on Gaga for 2025, seems more like 2026; when she spins up her next album era likely own shows first before festivals the year after. 2025 might be too soon as she is going to be focusing on promoting Joker 2 later this year. It still baffles me that she hasnt done it yet. Could have easily done the top slot around Born This Way over 10 years ago.

SZA headlining the Saturday. Also added: Tems (NG) Tyla (ZA) Bad Gyal (ES) Ida Laurberg (DK) Jessie Ware (UK) Kim Gordon (US) 47Soul (PS) Les Amazones d'Afrique (ML) Angel Du$t (US) Gel (US) HAEPAARY (KR) HHY & The Kampala Unit (UG) The Last Dinner Party (UK) Lorenzo Senni (IT) Lovebites (JP) LSDXOXO (US) Majur (BR) ML Buch (DK) Myrkur (DK) Nick Shoulders (US) Sofia Kourtesis (PE) Titi Bakorta (CD) SZA, Myrkur, Kim Gordon, Angel Dust and Gel are great additions for me! 😁

Could see Kings Of Leon being added as a headliner on Saturday; they are about next summer. Their last 5 or so albums are utterly forgettable but they had some amazing early songs on those first few albums. Haven't seen them since about 2009 so not sure what their current sets are like.

MCR are far from a new headliner though. 😄 they headlined nearly 20 years ago!

Ok Boomer

Doh! Or maybe I read that there was some variation of that theory where she showed up very publicly to when they played the Jets? 🤣
