Lineup 2015

[Gucci Piggy]

It's not A OF, it's A

Haha I actually thought this when I was typing it

[giantwagon]

ignore me

no

[DomDom1984]

That new Mumfords song sounds EXACTLY like Coldplay.

[rawaudioinput]

It doesn't even sound like Coldplay, it's more like one of those awful Kodaline rip-off acts that fester at the bottom of Isle of Wight line ups

[Hawky]

I think PTV were originally down to headline but when Metallica became available, they were budged.

So the new Mumford sounds like a generic Folk Rock song?... How strange.

Kodaline in turn sound exactly like Coldplay

[Hawky]

Kodaline's bassist self confirmed to me, that they don't sound like Coldplay.

[Hawky]

I suppose it was only the bassist.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I thought the most recent Kodaline song was Coldplay for quite a while.

[sjseabass]

I like that nobody took the Biffy bait there. Nice restraint

[Mouseboy11]

I kind of liked a few of Kodaline's singles

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Me too

It sounded exactly like them

[DGrant261]

I also think Panic! couls easily play a slow lower.

Should play a slot lower - Yes, I'd put them as a 6/7th band

Could play a slot lower - Doubt it, fifth downwards band are often poorly placed

I expect PTV to play 5th as they're the same band, err I mean size,as Sleeping with Sirens who played 5th last year and I'm sure the organisers will ignore how pitifully small their crowd was.

FR Crowds have been bigger than that!

sounds embarrassingly like Coldplay / every other MOR band going at the moment. could be by literally anybody. i hate Mumford & Sons but at least you could tell it was them before when that same banjo line kicked in. people will eat it up though. song will be huge

I like both Mumfers and Coldplay and think this is a boring monotone record. Not even Coldplay wannabe's I'd say just generic record label desired indistinguishable pop music. Yeah love them or loath them at least Mumfers first 2 albums were different to what other people were doing, that new song is just dreaful. Can you imagine it being played out to headline crowd for pete's sake, I'd rather go and see Limp!

Two friends of mine saw Mumfords at Oslo Hackey tonight and said they were really impressed. They also mentioned that Believe is one of the weaker tracks by some margin, people were apparently gasping at how good some of the other new songs were

They're playing the same venue again tomorrow night

[samfeeley]

I was there at SWS and the crowd was quite small tbh

[samfeeley]

Also yeah I really don't think AOF reunion was planned for too long before it was announced they were gonna make a comeback

[justanothername]

Doubt it, fifth downwards band are often poorly placed

Explain

[Gucci Piggy]

Also yeah I really don't think AOF reunion was planned for too long before it was announced they were gonna make a comeback

R&L's mid-main bookings will have been made for a while I'd have thought.

[giantwagon]

people were apparently gasping at how good some of the other new songs were

This is worst sentence I have ever read

[Gucci Piggy]

If a song is really good when abouts do you gasp lmao? Unless there's some crazy falsetto or something else where there's a sudden brilliant moment I'm struggling to picture it.

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Picturing a crowd of Simpsons characters all gasping at the same time

Mumfords covered Shrinking Universe tonight

[Yellow_Fellow]

Also yeah I really don't think AOF reunion was planned for too long before it was announced they were gonna make a comeback

Yeah I'm sure you can book 7 festivals in pretty short notice tbh Edited March 10, 2015 by Yellow_Fellow

I am one of the two, to my surprise the album was brilliant. It wasn't so much gasps, my phone was running out of battery so I rushed for verbs n shit. More general astonishment (there really is no good verb) mid song and such when they would pick up the pace. If you don't like Mumfords because of Mumfords then you obviously won't like any of it but it is sounding very very solid actually.

Think The Joy Formidable meets a bit of The National meets Manchester Orchestra.
