An oxymoron surely?

Not fair on Mr Ferry. I came across him at Glasto last year when I gave up on Metallica after two numbers and went walkabout. And he was very impressive with a very tight band. In Cardiff on his present tour he had a seven piece band with three excellent backing singers.

He's now 69 and maybe the voice isn't all that it was but the arrangements and overall production were excellent.

This was probably his best moment with Roxy Music in Frejus back in 1982 and the version of Avalon is tremendous (starts about 4'40"). I'll accept it wasn't this good but it still gives a flavour. Worth watching if only for the amazing backing singer Tawatha Agee from 7'30" on.

Passenger has just announced a show in Glasgow for June 19th, someone inform me he's booked up all weekend and we will pretend this never happened?

Haha, he's only busy on the Sunday with gigs on the 25th in Finland and a gig on 30th June. If I were betting I'd say he'll be on Saturday.

I was really hoping he'd be there, him and Ben Howard would make the festival perfect for me! Looking at those Scandinavian dates makes it seem a bit unlikely he would travel back and forth though?

Nah, he's not old. 25th in Finland, then he could eveneven do Friday at Glastonbury, and then Denmark to Germany isn't that far. I'd kind of like him as well. His touring is very much from here to there etc already.

Now added Idiotape to the playlist. No idea why they're referred to as shoegaze, it's upbeat electronica with a live drummer. I can see them going down very well with a fair few eFesters:

Now that is a nice find, thanks for the YouTube link, never heard of them before but they are now on my list to see for sure.

Yeah, like that a lot, the sort of band I look forward to hunting out at Glasto, I can see them at Williams Green now. And I will be there. Thanks!

^^ First band added to my list, thanks, kick things off nicely :)

Remind me of Jojo Mayer & Nerve with a bit more pace but less accomplished, in the nicest possible way.

Rather enjoyed that! Will likely check them out if I'm nearby when they're on! This is actually the first new act I've listened to since the week following the initial announcement. I keep telling myself that the full line-up won't be too far off and I'll make a proper go at it then but I'm starting to feel I should get the task underway sooner rather than later!

    • Totally agree about PinkPantheress stage choice. 'Luckily' for me, one of my main targets, fakemink, was absolutely awful, meaning that I left early and was in a surprisingly good spot at Cupra before it got totally packed.
    • As many said before, not my favourite Primavera. sh*tty weather is something I'm not really used to when enjoying music. Poor communication (more than 1 hour long radio silence during the worst rain) didn't help, but the main problem was me. I decided to leave the venue after things seemed to be getting back to normal. Massive Attack were supposed to play again (with Hymn of the Big Wheel back on the setlist!) as were all other artists on the smaller stages (including Fcukers with one my favourite albums of the year). FOMO was at an all-time high. However, after 4 hours in the rain, I had to admit to myself that I'm not cut out for this. I wasn't even that soaked (water-proof jacket worked). I was just fed up with the rain, wind and cold and wasn't able to enjoy music anymore.   Also, they should stop ignoring the growth of some artists between signing them up and their actual performance. Both PinkPantheress and Ninajirachi sets were ruined for me by completely inadequate stage choice.   However, I felt very much the same way after the 2022 edition and have thoroughly enjoyed all subsequent editions. So I'm still buying early bird tickets for 2027 and hoping this was a hiccup not the start of a downward trend.
    • I will definitely be buying a 2027 early bird pass, partially because of the priority reservation privileges for the Ciutat sets. Hopefully the organization will take action to improve upon this year's failings. Because I thought the free water options and sound quality were an improvement over last year, so clearly they can actually implement positive changes.   I also hope all the douchebag chompers get in the sea, cause I was more bothered by them than in the past few years.   Highlights: The Cure, Ninajirachi, Knocked Loose, Current 93, Blood Orange.    
    • Similar feelings to a few others on here. Not my personal favourite edition but a long way from giving up on it. Felt overcrowded at times and there are just too many people there that don't seem to like music that much! Hardly went to main stages which was the plan. Highlights Ralphie Choo, rusowsky, Gorillaz, Geese, Gelli Haha, The Sophs, PinkPantheress, Dijon. Accommodation booked for next year. Thanks for your company and comments over the past year.
