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

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
