Is anyone going to the gig in Birmingham tomorrow?

Anyone know anywhere decent near the venue to go after?

I got the tickets for myself and my brother in law who is at Uni there but I'm beginning to think it would have been better to see them in Manchester tonight!

Can't wait to see these at Glastonbury though...a great festival band.

While I can understand why a lot of you guys missed them for Buddy Guy last time round, seriously, DO NOT MISS THEM AGAIN. Easily my highlight of that year from the brass band medley intro to Wylie to the almost too perfect Nothing Compares To You seguing into The Privacy Of Our Love as the sun set. Fantastic. Can't see them being below where they were last time although not entirely sure that a step up to Pyramid would have the same magic.

Saw them at Newcastle last night and they were amazing. We found them out the back of the Newcastle Academy a few hours later and they didn't know where the club they were DJ'ing at was so we kindly took them there :P

Gave us a great chance to ask about Glastonbury (which they definitely are playing), but even they don't know what slot they've got yet. They said they just turn up and play at wherever they're booked.

Alexis told us to ask his manager about where they would be playing, but he was tight-lipped about it, wouldn't confirm anything :P but at least we know they're def gonna be there now even though the unsubtle hint was already confirmation enough.

Cool! One week today!!

I hope they don't play Pyramid, the atmosphere would be lost on such a big stage I reckon. Headlining JP would be best or same slot as 08 on t'Other.

Here is the first ten minutes or so from their 2007 appearance at the JP tent. Really memorable times for me. I must have watched this video more times that anything else over the past three years. I have the whole thing but am having trouble uploading the later bits to YouTube. I'll let you know if I manage to get the rest up.

      Primavera Sound 2026

      By joozy · Posted

      After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.

      You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
