I thought they were crap at Glasto, that's what I'm basing it on. People weren't into the jams and stuff and you could hear too much chattering. Playing inside a venue/tent where the sound doesn't float off into the sky is much preferrable. Just my thoughts though.

It seemed pretty dead on the BBC streaming of Reading too, but they did have Chase + Status and Eminem following them, plus I wasn't there so couldn't judge.

I loved Foals at Leeds but the amount of C&S and Eminem fans ruined it a bit and some of the stuff from Latitude looked pretty good as well

They were decent at Latitude. Not a patch on the first three times I saw them but good.

Not so good I didn't wander off to Beach House halfway through, but good nonetheless.

I really like Foals but why were you not at Beach House the whole time?!

First two times I'd seen them I was convinced they were Britain's foremost current live act. Didn't get to watch them down the pub or wherever you were watching them though. :P

Foals started nearly 40 minutes before Beach House. Watched until 5 minutes before Beach House were due on.

Makes sense then! Would love to see Beach House, only heard of them about a year ago but I've listened to Bloom and Teen Dream too many times since then.

I've not listened to Teen Dream yet, Devotion and Bloom are gorgeous though.

Yeah everything i've heard has just been sublime. I assume it translated very well live? I've no idea what they are like as a live band, just listened to them on record so far.

It was good, they crafted that dreamy atmosphere really well. The sort of performance where you just stand there and let the music wash through you.

I would've thought crowds were probably a problem for Foals at a lot of their festival sets this year.

They're in that position where they're big enough to draw a decent sized crowds, but they're playing slots just before huge acts and so a large proportion are there because they feel the need to be.

There's also of course the fact they've picked up a lot of fans with Holy Fire, which means perhaps earlier songs don't get the reception they used to.

Good to hear :)

Another great band i need to see.

I've ticked off the vast majority I feel I need to see, ones left are Tool, Daft Punk, The Unicorns, Bright Eyes (I hate you a little bit), Boards of Canada and Low. Short of any surprising reunions anyway (well, NMH and J5 as well, but I've got tickets for them).

Won't have been a problem at Latitude :P

Have you seen the Tool thread in the Glastonbury section? Great read. :lol:

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
