Spindles Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 The war on drugs have some great songs, but listen to enough of them and it sounds like Ryan Adams on xanax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In response to all who replied to my above message, I've been listening to Boxer. I like it (not super love it, but like it). My favourite songs are Slow Show and Ada. I'll listen to High Violet soon. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike_Like_A_Mum Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Lord knows I've tried SO hard to listen to The National after all the hype in here... but the temptation to skip after 5 seconds is just too overwhelming! I do hope you all have a lovely little doze watching them 😴 I'll be at literally anything else Just thought I'd balance the table a little bit with a 'not in favour of' opinion as I think I must be the only one 🤣🤣 what am I missing...

There’s been info that they’re gonna be there along with them having very convenient dates in the surrounding area a the time. Would be very surprised if they’re not there.

Would be very surprised if they’re not there. I really hope so. My favourite band for last 15 years and obsessed with them. Sunday headline slot would be the perfect end to the festival for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until the rollercoaster of emotions that was the headliner thread today I had this exact thought. If they were up against Olivia though? That would be a tough call for me. The National were my second most played artist last year according to spotify but I'm hopelessly addicted to Ms Rodrigo's albums in recent months.

A National concert is anything but a doze so if you are thinking this way already i'd suggest it's not for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drinky Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 After last time they played there were a few sceptics who said they didn’t have the chops for an outdoor crowd or festival show but their run of amphitheatres last summer showed that was bollocks. Something like this (from one of those shows) would do very nicely: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Their festival sets, although disappointing that you don't get the full show, are usually condensed stormers. Gutted I'll be missing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and Space Invader at the Ally Pally date were highlights for me. ... along with England (which I didn't get in my set when I saw them in Milan in 2018) and Mistaken For Strangers tbf.
