Florence + the Machine

Folks, wondering what you think about Florence at this years Glasto?

She was originally on a break this year. However she has now been confirmed to be playing Coke Live Music Festival in Poland in August. I'm a huge Flo fan and from the videos on youtube she seemed to go down well in 2010. But with no album to promote, do you think she will wait until 2014?

god i hope not, because if she is there, then it will no doubt mean she'll do vocals on Gimme Shelter so it won't be a 'go and see somebody else' affair - i'll have to see her scream her way through one song. one of my favourite songs in fact

but as you said, no new album to promote so hopefully they'll give her a miss until next year...

flying half way around the world, fair enough then! i dunno if she'll be there, but she has had a habit of cropping up over the years, so i wouldn't be too surprised if she was there in some capacity.

she's been quoted in saying that one of her career ambitions is to play the pyramid stage. even though she's not really touring, i bet she would take a sub-headlining slot on the pyramid this year. my bet is she'll be below rolling stones and she will indeed come out for Gimme Shelter.

unless of course she is one of the 3 headliners that have apparently been booked for 2014

Yet another private school toff who got given her big break through familiy connections, despite the music being absolutely dreadful.

"It's not what you sing, it's who you know".

The list of recent current music on that list is really quite lengthy.

And she went to that fecking Brit school so she had a helping hand from that.

less dissing of the Brit School :P, I have three family members who are graduates, one of which probably appears in your front room on a regular basis. :D

(none from a rich family, before russy starts :P).

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • 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
