Lineup 2015

[justanothername]

I still care about Alt-J. I loved an Awesome Wave but the two singles were a bit lack luster in my opinion. Doesn't help when Left Hand Free was meant to appease a US record company and it was written in 20 mins as a piss take and it shows as it isn't great (still a bit enjoyable though). Hunger of the Pine was better. Can't wait to see them in September though and still looking forward to the rest of the album

[justanothername]

About the same level.

EDIT: Just realised that ofc it's the same level, they did Ally Pally before they headlined NME last year

Brixton - 4,921

Ally Pally - 7,300

Yeah but that Ally Pally show was probably announced after they were announced for R&L so Melvin will want to get them out of that now that they can play Ally Pally

"We offer the largest standing capacity in the capital 10,400. The medium capacity is 2,500, making Ally Pally perfect for an intimate gig, average concert or album tour stop."

woah woah woah. Let's all hold on here. Dentalplan you evil genius you.

Seemed to get a lot of hype from what I saw. And they sold out Ally Pally which I don't know the significance of but people mention it when bands do that.

Alt-J have never played Ally Pally god dammit. They did two nights at Brixton last May but have never out right headlined their own show at the Palace.

We've all been fooled.

EDIT: FFS. People talked like they'd already played Ally Pally! I didn't even know they were touring in September, let alone playing AP! Nobodies been fooled. I'm the fool.

An Alt-J song came on at 1am in McDonald's last night and my friend started singing along, and then another friend asked her if she could borrow their album, so I guess lots of people still like them.

Yes lots.

I still like Alt-J, I really can't see where the hate comes from.

Google says 7,300 and Google is always right

[Yellow_Fellow]

alt J are shite and boring

[Muppetmark]

Flos got a new album in October.... Glasto or here?

[mattgimmeshelter]

Alt-J have a big fanbase, and I reckon they are coming back at the perfect time. I still hear people playing and listening to songs from their first album even now.

It's just how big of a slot they are gonna get is the question. They will be on the mainstage, depending on the album I think it'l be between a sub and 3rd down.

Could be 7,300 seating

[Gucci Piggy]

Yes lots.

2/5 x 63.23 million = 25.292 million fans in the UK.

If they're not big enough to sub I guess they can co-sub.

"Co-headliners subbed by co-subs with co-thirds is a brilliant idea!" -Benn logic

I see no fault in this

[dentalplan]

I was just wondering if they could get away with Frank Turner and Alt-J subbing but co subs is a brilliant idea!

[ToffeePopcorn]

I can't wait to see Alt-J in September, bit disappointed with left hand free but yanno, 3rd next year, but given that Jake Bugg is subbing, they'll probably sub

[Bisque]

Where do we think Enter Shikari will end up playing?

[dentalplan]

3rd down.

[Tobieski]

Isn't it time for the sound system again?

I still hear people playing and listening to songs from their first album even now.

Even now? A whole 2 years later? Incredible

[lightning1000]

Even now? A whole 2 years later? Incredible

Wow... What longevity

[Gucci Piggy]

Where on Earth do you hear people playing songs? Do they sit at the back of the bus blasting Alt-J from their phones?

[dentalplan]

Cars, shops, houses, MP3 players if you're close enough. Probably a few more actually.
