The Chic - Portishead clash is tearing me apart!

I ended 2011 with Kool and the Gang and it was without a doubt the most fun I've ever had at a gig, and Chic look like they're gonna hit the same level...

...but I have wanted to see Portishead for donkey's years...

Ahhhhhhhh, FREAK OUT!

I must be the only person on here who felt let down by Kool and the Gang. Maybe it was that they didn't play much early stuff, or they were just a little bit too cheesy for me, even though I was expecting that to be the case. I went to see QOTSA instead

Yeah the situation might have had something to do with it. I was on my own as half my mates were at Beyonce and the rest at QOTSA.

Plus I wasn't nearly pissed enough. Can't wait for Chic though!

the way I am looking at is this - it's Friday night, the start of the big weekend. Do I want dour Portishead (whom I love) to kick my weekend off, or do I want some disco and pop classics from the legendary Nile Rogers and Chic to get me moving and start the weekend off with a great vibe, good crowd and good old sing song?

No contest

Getting pretty obsessed with Nile Rodgers now, yesterday night I sat all my friends down and told him how much I was looking forward to his set at Glastonbury and how he literally owned half the 80's and sparked a whole new genre of music (Hip Hop).

I'm not missing this set for anything in the world baby.

this is pretty much how i made my mind up. i'm gonna have more energy on the Friday night (out of the music days, anyway) and i will definitely want to end it in the best of moods, jumping around and dancing my arse off, screaming along to songs and leaving with a giant smile on my face, probably still singing along with the crowd as we leave the stage. Chic will deliver this tenfold

      Primavera refunding day tickets which are probably a negligible percentage of attendees yesterday.

      Thursday day tickets being refunded. Fair play.

      I’ve had a good sleep and I feel weirdly zen about the whole thing.   My first Primavera, so not the greatest first impression. I guess today couldn’t be any worse, right?   Thoroughly enjoyed Men I Trust and Geese. Cupra is a beautiful stage and the crowd seemed fun, friendly and engaged.   I think it probably could have gone even worse, considering how dangerous the crowding felt at times.   Anyway, we go again.

      Brighton centre is a weird old venue for the Mary Wallopers - a great band, a really good live spectacle, and its a saturday night as well which sets it all up - but its at the bloody Centre? a charmless nonsense of a conference centre? Brighton dome is a ten min walk away and is so much nicer a place to see bands its ridiculous!    ah well, i'll probably mosy along anyways . . .

      So bad honestly. I get that bad weather happens but their communication was non existent. When you're managing crowds of tens of thousands of people, it's just not good enough. I left when Massive Attack was cancelled (the first time) and it genuinely did feel unsafe trying to get out. No one knew what was going on, people still sitting in the ground when there were hoards of people trying to leave, no crowd management at all...   I've been to PS enough times to know sometimes you need to just roll with it but this was way worse than "the bar queue was 30 minutes long".    Today will be better but still feel super disappointed.
