they're not that similar but if you like the feel good hip-hop vibe of J5 I suspect you'll like The Roots. More instrument orientated with a jazz & soul influence but a great blend none the less

I stupidly missed them at Bestival last year and i'm beginning to think i'll regret that for a long time

In all seriousness I'm glad they still sound so enthusiastic on the latest track. It sounds like it could've been released at any point of there career and not sound too out of place, also the live footage shows them as the fun playful group they are sound like on record.

I just came in from work, stumbled across the video and posted it. I didn't have time to look through the rest of the thread. Please don't be so condescending and demand that I keep up with some sort of made up standard of the discussion board.

I remember having to scarper from the end of Snoop to catch 2na with Breakestra in 2009 (or was it 10?).

I know I'm in the minority but Elbow and J5 is a killer clash for me. Never seen J5 before but Elbow are one of my favourites and I've not heard any of the new album live yet.

I'm hoping Deltron 3030 and De La Soul don't clash either. Deltron all the way if I've got to choose that one.

Ended up leaving leaving early to go meet people before getting a place for arcade fire but they were pretty awesome! Definitely the best hip-hop group I've seen live.

An interesting contrast to Deltron 3030 earlier in the day. I enjoyed J5, but felt it a bit overlong and they peaked a little early. Some of the gimmickry was fun and they drew a huge crowd, but that wasn't the best hip hop on that stage that afternoon.

The setlist wasnt the best and the best songs in their set (imo Improvise and Concrete Schoolyard) were on early leaving the end to be a bit flat. I really enjoyed the bit with Cut Chemist and Nu-Mark in the middle. Cant believe they didnt play Whats Golden

Agree about Deltron though, thought he was great.

What's Golden was the final track of the set!

Personally thought the setlist was perfect. Their best songs were well spread out through the set. Quality Control, What's Golden, Way We Do It, Concrete Schoolyard, Improvise, the Cut-Chemist/Mu Mark bit, Jayou, In The House all made an appearance.

Incredible atmosphere down the front made it one of my highlights of all the Glastonbury's I've been to!

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
