Overall, I really enjoyed them last night. I was worried some of the new stuff wouldn’t translate very well in a stadium but Bodypaint was next level. I honestly don’t hate the ‘can’t be bothered attitude’. I don’t really see it as that, I just think it’s Alex’s persona.
My only negatives were Cornerstone as an opener. It’s my favourite song but it’s too slow and almost feels wasted as an opener. Also why do they need to slow down parts of songs?! View from the Afternoon is a prime example. Slowing down the chorus just puts the whole crowd out of time, I even think Matt Helders struggles with it.
I’m not at glasto this year but if I was, I’d probably give them a miss as I struggle to see how different it would be but overall it was a solid set and I don’t think people will be disappointed!
