the wonderwhy Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I'd thought the Cure were a European exclusive? Nothing about worldwide festivals? Don't have post count snobbery. Seriously, it doesn't help anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaosmark2 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Yup, it just turned out their festival exclusivity happened to stretch around the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey1989 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 It's been confirmed its going to be the Flaming Lips followed by Fatboy that's a pretty feel Good Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I'm not sure how deliberate the European exclusive was though- its was probably a bit of a fluke Still an awesome booking though, and I'm convinced it played a part in them headlining R&L last year... I'm surprised the likes of Dinosaur Jr, Eels, Warpaint etc. aren't there yet considering their at EOTR the week before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justiceforcedave Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Eels would have been aaaaamaaaaazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 What's going on with the Knife's live performances? They're one of the acts I'm most looking forward too but from the videos on YouTube it looks like a load of drama students dancing around badly to a backing track? No live vocals or anything? Have I missed the concept? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Sounds pretentious & looks shit judging by the videos on youtube. I'm going to go with an open mind on the day though.

jadel74 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 I hear the closer you are to the stage and the drunker you are, the better the show is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul ™ Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Fire this through your Smart TV on 5.1 surround sound and it's a pretty decent set.. I'll be at 3 festivals this year he is playing at (Rockness, Exit and Bestival) so will probably just see him the once as it will be the same set but I bet people have a right party during his set..

rexclark Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Watched the UltraSonic video last week when he was announced and it put me right in the mood. If I can pick up some party favours whilst on the island it could make it even more excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zacko Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 That Lionel head will either be absolutely hilarious or absolutely terrifying depending on sobriety levels... Are we expecting any more announcements between now and the festival? Perhaps just a few names added now and again like Wiley last year?

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Yeah I'd suspect a few more decent sized names to trickle out over the coming months... I'm genuinely excited for the Lionel head, I hope they pull it off. Imagine wondering through a field at 2 in the morning pissed & randomly bumping into that ahah.

monkey1989 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hopefully bestival make a decent sized pledge for the Lionel head nearly 2 grand in 3 days is good going , if only the real thing was playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisque Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I like the idea of kick start for uber fans of stuff but I'm just thinking, surely my money would be better donating to charity if I'm going to get no foreseeable benefit from this??? (tbh it just looks like a bunch of hipsters wanting to do something daft, get some attention for their work & to further their careers) I don't get it.
