I saw !!! in Cambridge on Saturday. So much fun and he was in the audience dancing with people probably as much as he was on stage 😁 We also went to the ABBA Voyage thing yesterday too. Went in not really knowing what to expect and it was genuinely excellent. Yes the avatars looked a bit odd on occasions but the sound and visuals that filled the room were flipping great.

A few signed copies of their new album available from Banquet records after their instore yesterday here https://www.banquetrecords.com/october-drift/i-don't-belong-anywhere/PER004CD

Probably although 11" x 11" according to the site.

Was rather hoping they would mix it up a bit more on this tour but its basically the same list as they have done for years with a couple of new ones added. Don't get me wrong it will still be great, but hoping for a few different ones as the tour progresses.

From £77.35 Level 4 to £132.85 Floor Seated for London, and looks like £75 - £125 for Birmingham.

At £37 inc postage i'm not surprised 😲😄

Very much depends on the artist but a bit of acknowledgement that the audience is there with the occasional interaction is all good. If they go on it can very much suck the life out of the gig and also means fewer songs if they go on too much.

Ticket bought for Cambridge. Back to the Portland Arms we go 🙂

The Cure / Taylor Swift / David Bowie would do me nicely 👍

Ohhhhhhh THAT'S what those discs I saw some people carrying were! Nice! 🙂

Fri - Wet Leg, Confidence Man, Wolf Alice, Sigrid, Phoebe Bridgers, St Vincent, Sugababes, FOALS. Sat - Skunk Anansie, Self Esteem, Porridge Radio, Jane Weaver, Mitski, Roisin Murphy, Hobo Jones and the Junkyard Dogs, Beans on Toast. Sun - Fontaines DC, Amyl and the Sniffers, McFly, Orla Gartland, Pet Shop Boys. Planned to see Beabadoobee after Self Esteem on the Saturday but couldn't be doing with the crowd any longer in there. Missed Just Mustard on Sunday morning which was a shame but Saturday night ended that one 😄 Only one Pyramid set all weekend which I think is the lowest ever for me.

My top three is likely to be: Pet Shop Boys Confidence Man Sugababes (completely unexpectedly!) With Orla Gartland, Sigrid, Phoebe Bridgers and Wolf Alice following very closely behind.

McFLy was the busiest I have ever seen that field! I thought the crowd for Sugababes was busy on Friday but the entire field was standing room only for McFly unless you managed to get around to the right hand side of the Avalon bar. The place was rammed!

Friday - No idea as not really interested in any of them 😁 Saturday - Probably Roisin Murphy after seeing Mitski. Sunday - Probably Suzanne Vega (as saw Pet Shop Boys a couple of weeks ago)

Without doubt it's Friday first.

😁 Finally back home after seeing this tonight too. I thought she and the crowd were excellent but Jesus H the 2 or 3 talking bobbins bits were tedious in the extreme 😁

Well Friday is a fricking nightmare clashwise for me! 😮

^This. Why sit through stuff you don't like? You'll hate it and the others you are with know that you aren't enjoying it so what's the point? Just meet up again later.

On the barrier for their Roadmender Northampton gig early April and then saw Gaz Coombes at the Lexington in London a couple of weeks later. Both awesome gigs and will definitely be seeing them at Glastonbury too.

Damn you! Earworm!! 😄

Grr! Suzanne Vega on at the same time as the Pet Shop Boys 😞

Based on amount of listening to them i'd have to go with.. 1. Let's Eat Grandma - Two Ribbons 2. Fontaines DC - Skinty Fia 3. Wet Leg - Wet Leg

Yep, this or Plastic Fox 😁

We really enjoyed it last year and it was great that all of the stages were all close together. Just a shame they reduced it to a one day festival this year as it isn't really worth going up from Cambridge for the day.

Simon Pegg was there with Edgar Wright and posted a couple of videos to his instagram stories last night and the place seemed quite bouncy for Chaise Longue 🙂
