thetime Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Cant see it being bjork with playing london on the 3rd, I very much doubt she would stick around a couple of weeks to play in wales. If she was going to do this fest you would of though the london dated would be around the same time. Xx no chance, to big. Portishead, that could be a good shout.

thetime Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Are they still not doing day tickets? Anyone know if organisers have said no day tickets? Would like to just go for the manics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Great move getting MBV, although not to hot on the rest of the line-up. Not as good as last year, looks even worse given the considerable price hike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XX could explain the price hike & the delay in getting the last headliner announced. Plus they seem to have chosen to play unusual places this year rather than commercial festivals who have the most money to throw around, so Fest no. 6 would fit in with that. But you're probably right. Where does Bjork live these days? I thought she was a UK resident anyway?

She's not lived in the uk for a long time, I think she lives in New York at the minute with Mathew barney who she did drawing restraint with.

Completely forgot about her hooking up with Barney. Oh to be a fly on the wall for a day in that household Are you going to her London date by the way?

The manchester dates were around 50 quid if I remember correctly, you went to the manc gigs didnt you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manchester dates were around 50 quid if I remember correctly, you went to the manc gigs didnt you? I did indeed, one of the best gigs I've been to. I considered the London date, but due to the cost of getting there & back, plus the pricey ticket I decided to give it a miss. Had she been mixing the set list up a lot more over the past two years I'd certainly have forked out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetime Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Well they do day tickets, so think I will get a sneaky one for manics when I know which day it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was strongly thinking of not going to this one myself with the 80 quid ticket, hotel, travel and beer I'm looking at we'll over 200 quid. It's going to be her last show here for 2 or 3 years so thought might aswel...weekend after end of the road aswel ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Well they do day tickets, so think I will get a sneaky one for manics when I know which day it is. I think them being announced as a festival exclusive might mean they're doing their own dates in the autumn/winter.

dentalplan Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 It said that the Q thing is an announcement for something in the town hall so it won't be the full thing sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Well that's annoying. I'm waiting for them to convince me to part with my money. Not going to happen at this rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) According to their official social media, Friday is the day they release the full line up with day splits, as long as everything goes without a hitch. The Q announcement was that they're curating the town hall events and there are a few things on, details here.

5co77ie Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 What's going on with this festival? It's getting closer & closer to the date & still no final headliner? Chic, Manics, and MBV are headlining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Chic are listed on the second line of the line-up poster after James Blake, if they're headlining that's an odd place to put them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Never announced as headliner either. I guess they may have been holding out for someone else, they have said that they were waiting on a few bands which delayed the full lineup announcement.

dentalplan Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Full line up's been announced via a series of Facebook images here. James Blake is headlining then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) They surely could have gotten a headliner above James Blake. I mean The Pixies, Phoenix, Sigur Ros, Flaming Lips, etc are all in the UK around Sep, surely they could have tempted one of those. Sunday looks decent, so I might get a day ticket for the Manics closer to the time. £170 is slightly too high for a weekend ticket me feels, especially when compared with the value for money Latitude offers for a similar price.

frostypaw Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Gah.... there is enough. It's so tempting just for the place.... but it is that shade too expensive to be sensible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gucci Piggy Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Are Chic bigger than the Manics? I would have thought MBV were probably bigger, too. I do agree that Chic are bigger than James Blake, however it would probably work better with James Blake playing last, in the dark, and Chic playing an earlier slot.
