Is Nick Cave as a sub the wrong choice?

[Zoo Music Girl]

It has to be Nick Cave over Pumpkins. I dithered for a day or two but I have seen the error of my ways. Check out some of the Coachella set for confirmation of your choice.

Still hoping against hope that the clash won't happen. The line-up poster certainly seems quite flexible on positioning in that everyone assumed The Weeknd was headlining and isn't. I would love to see Pumpkins. But it has to be Nick Cave for me (NFC NFC).

I did see it actually , with the kids choir for Jubilee street it looked brilliant and him looming over the barrier for stagger lee , yeah I think if it's come to it will be NC unless that is he is announced for Bestival

[Zoo Music Girl]

Have you ever seen him before?

[monkey1989]

Nope but I have seen the pumpkins and they were very very good

[Zoo Music Girl]

I think you have your answer. Seeing Nick Cave for the first time at Glastonbury? It will be awesome.

I know, I know, I'm just keeping the dream alive until the very last minute.

PS. It will be the wrong decision

[russycarps]

A consistently brilliant and innovative artist versus a band who put out a couple of ok albums in the 90s

It's not even a difficult decision.

But you have seen them before as you say. Nick Cave's autumn tour must be sold out by now so could be your last chance for a bit.

Stagger Lee live = life-affirming.

I've been listening to PTSA a lot this week. A tad obsessed by Higgs Boson Blues.

[russycarps]

Maybe not for you ... great

[monkey1989]

Yes I'm set to see nick cave unless as I said he is appearing at Bestival as Friday night headliner , it's more the fact the people I'm going with have there heart set on smashing pumpkins and il have to go alone ( apart from the thousands around me haha)

[Zoo Music Girl]

Is there really a chance he'll play Bestival? Or is that wishful thinking?

All my friends will be going to Pumpkins too. My only worry is that I'll be poised by the Other stage after PiL so would be convenient. But I'll regret it hugely if I miss Cave.

Nick Cave as a sub is definitely the wrong choice. A man like him would have to be the Dom wouldn't he?

[Justiceforcedave]

Ok, so I get this is almost certainly not going to happen and I'm clutching at straws but may present to you exhibit A! The 2009 Clashfinder! Granted both Springsteen and Neil Young had exceptionally longer set times but I'm just pointing out there have been times when subs from both stages haven't clashed....

http:///s/g2009/

...again I say, I do understand the likelyhood of this happening is slim to none.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Justiceforcedave, you have made my day!

[russycarps]

dont get your hopes up rebecca.....there is not a chance in hell mumfords will get a 2hr+set, they barely have enough material for an hour and a half!!

[Zoo Music Girl]

Damn it! This is also a good point.

[ninetyeightytwo]

It shouldnt be difficult for anyone who has looked at recent setlists for the 2 bands.

[Justiceforcedave]

Damn it! This is also a good point.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Yes, this is what I was hoping. If I saw one or two songs (and they were good ones!) I'd be happy with that.

[caroldecker]

Yay for a nick cave thread! Let me just roll around in all the compliments *rolls around*

It would be brilliant if he had a headline slot on another stage but, he is my headline slot for the Sunday as ill be walking away after him and maybe having to go home early.... In my head he will be the headline act. He's pretty much the only person I'm penning in to watch all weekend. Last time he played my head was elsewhere, I was present, but not in mind.... I don't remember his set, and when I think back to it, I can see myself slumped in a heap with my hat on my face. Bad times.

I don't like the fact that the Shartic Monkeys have dared cover one of his songs (did you notice how I compared them to a wet fart???)

For those dudes who havnt heard of him let me get you a selection! Ill post some in another post. You'll all be fans by the time I've finished with you!

As the title says ....

I've spent the evening acquainting myself with bands and artists that I'm not familiar with ... Judging by the line up poster Nick Cave is subbing Mumford and the biggest artist that I don't know much about. So have spent some good time listening over alot of his work ... Which I must say I have telly enjoyed.

My point is this ... Is he not a bit lacking in the big numbers needed to be a sub I.e. 2011 Morrissey, Elbow and Pendulum or will his style suit the final night crowd who will be gathering for Mumfords????

In my humble, very new to his music opinion the Other or a tented stage would suit his music far more??

Awaits the music police to tell me I'm a heritic !!

[Zoo Music Girl]

Welcome to the thread for people with superior musical taste!

I agree with you about Arctics, they are poor. A lot of people were saying it would be better if Nick Cave played before them since they are fans but I think it would be almost an insult for that reason. At least he and Mumford are probably indifferent to each other.
