Lineup 2015

[seanz25]

Did they smash up their banjos once the set was over? #truerocknroll

[Matt42]

This is pretty lifeless if i'm honest - I remember enjoying this much more at Glastonbury

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Are you supposed to not sing along to lyrics if they aren't deep and meaningful?

You've read that wrong, silly billy.

[the wonderwhy]

The best bit of their show so far has been the lights the crowd have produced, which has actually worked really well. 

[Matt42]

It's probably very different live - but it just feels very disconnected. Very slow and strange alternation in the setlist between slow and fast songs.

 

I'd probably be checking my watch often if I was there.

[the wonderwhy]

Its because the new stuff is so bland and boring. Obviously they were going to play a lot of it because they're promoting the album and stuff, but it doesn't appear to go down well with the crowd at all. 

 

Complete contrast to the older stuff like I Will Wait which seemingly went down really well. 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Marcus is a better drummer than their actual drummer, he should do the whole set from up there.

[Yellow_Fellow]

I'm in the coverage of American Football, post Never Meant crying

[thewayiam]

Mumfords tour dates

 

Will, this is an arena tour, not that poxy attempt Alt-J have. Just saying!

[VCK]

I think they actually do look pretty good, do Mumfords. The crowd seem to be into it too. That's why they're headlining, because they're popular.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

First Kanye, now Mumfords, maybe ahead of next year the "give us a rock band" brigade will learn that protesting about an act being "unsuitable" ends up looking foolish when said act go out and smash it in front of a great crowd.

I mean, the first one's definitely up for debate and the second one... aren't you at Leeds right now?

 

edit: oh just realised you'd commented on their performance on last page. Thought you were just going off of what VCK said.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Nah had to go home from Leeds for reasons today sadly.

[dentalplan]

Ah sorry to hear that. Was it as empty as people were saying it would be?

[VCK]

Overall the coverage has been shocking. I know people find the BBC presenters annoying and all that, but it doesn't feel the same without them, and doesn't feel like much of an event.

 

As I said, Festival Republic should just fuck the BBC off altogether and stream the festival on their own site or Youtube channel. It's what the American festivals do.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Thanks. It felt pretty sparse walking around on Wednesday, didn't really see much beyond that cos staff are kept well away from the punter campsites but if they've closed two campsites, got rid of the silent disco and made all the music tents about as small as David Cameron's heart, it doesn't exactly have the air of expecting vast crowds

Also my mate's ig showed about a living room's worth of dancing room down the front at Jamie T but that may just be Jamie T, naturally.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Also FTR the Mumfords' set came in at roughly 1hr40. Maybe they were offended by all that joshing about the very idea of standing through two hours of them.

[VCK]

I actually went past it on the bus today, felt pretty surreal seeing the Main Stage and the arena and the crowd behind all those trees. It looked quite busy though, but going to Leeds isn't the "in thing" any more like it was circa 2007 - 2010.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

What's with the 'whoop there it is' during every dance acts sets now? It's fucking stupid and just ruins it.

So did I.

I think that happens at TITP too on the rare occasions it's not 'here we fucking go' there. No idea why people chant it though.

[atomised]

Any word on how they're keeping day ticket holders out of the campsite

[lightning1000]

Any word on how they're keeping day ticket holders out of the campsite

They catch them in a big net as they're trying to come through

[Gucci Piggy]

You've read that wrong, silly billy.

How?
