Wish I'd have been old enough to appreciate this fully at the time.

You dont mean that. I am old enough - and remember watching them in 1984. Feeling they were OK no more when I was expecting something magical. Didnt recognise them for the genius they were. Do now and regret not seeing them more often.

It was announced yesterday that Mr Marr is klaying in Southampton next month, so I have just bought a ticket.

One less clash to worry about!!

(must listen to the new album now, I'm really only in it for the Smiths covers)

I managed to get the last ticket for that gig at The Brook, and like yourself need to get round to listening to his new stuff before the event

Last setlist had 4 Smiths tunes - Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before, There is a Light, Bigmouth and How Soon is Now.

Get in.

He's been playing London at the majority of shows, I found it one of the highlights of the show, truth is that Moz is always going to deliver better versions of Stop Me, There Is A Light and Bigmouth, but London is one that only Marr can really lick. I'm surprised his never pulled out This Charming Man, I know he's not got Morrissey's voice by any stretch of the imagination, but Moz has never really be able to full deliver on Charming Man because he's never had a guitarist that can properly pull off the riff, I would have assumed that would be Marr's trump card, let the audience carry the vocals.

Ohhhh, that riff! Finally going to get to see it performed live by those masterful hands on Saturday, hopefully.

Parklife? See you there. Makes me laugh how people complain about G not giving out set times yet considering we won't get them at all without paying at Parklife.

Haven't given his solo record a go yet, but was impressed by the track he performed from it last night.

No, supporting the Roses at Finsbury Park, he must be playing the Sunday at Parklife.

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
