Lineup 2015

What about drug use in non-electronic dance music? I heard that ballroom show on the telly is rife with the contestants getting mashed before the performances.

It's different drugs tho, for EDM you're taking E pills and E cigs where as everyone else just does coke and speed.

Download will have Foo Fighters next year so will be fine.

Why would the first festival they play off a new album be Download? They've never bothered with it before.

Probably IOW and V or Glastonbury.

Foals said Bestival will be their last for a while; if they don't play this year then their next R+L show is headlining.

Probably for that exact reason. They've never done it before & next year will be the perfect opportunity.

You can have four naked pints if they do Download, as well as your one for Metallica doing R+L.

It's the same as Muse doing Download off a new album instead of the other festivals available. There are much more appropriate festivals for their fanbase that pay more and can get their album a lot more promotion.

Like dental said Metallica will probably be at Download and if not do R&L want an act that played Soni the year before and will do Download in 2016 (if they didn't play Download next year).

I highly doubt they'll care about where Metallica are gonna play the year after...

pop colours init

I'm joking, but Foos are definitely more Download than they are V. I guess they could do Soni.

Musically they are and probably with regards to fanbase too, but I'd have them as more likely to play V any time soon.

mrtourette explained it very well at one point but I have no idea which board to even begin looking in.

I think now the 'five year rule' is out of the window then Muse are probably fair candidates; less so Foos and Kasabian but who knows?

I think The Black Keys or The Vaccines will step up next year. Mumfords probably won't have an album out by next year's fest. Florence - if she does Glastonbury this year then I can see her being in demand everywhere next year; if she doesn't then I think R+L might bump her up.

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
