The War on Drugs

[russycarps]

Extra pleased I got a ticket for their gig in Manchester in February now

my thoughts exactly! Only I'm going to london not manchester.

[Winslow Leach]

all those who watched Kaiser Chiefs will have to wait another year to see War On Drugs:

It wasn't Kaiser Chiefs it was Blondie. I know, because I tried to cut through the Other stage field to get to the Pyramid and ended up getting caught in the unexpected crush and had to listen to Debbie Harry rasping for ages. Missed the whole first half of TWOD's set. Gutted.

I'm gonna front up to y'all and say that The War on Drugs were pretty good, but not *that* good. Anyone who missed them doesn't need to be beating themselves up about it.

So you picked Blondie too huh, unlucky............

[CaledonianGonzo]

Nope. Saw both Turtle Island and TWOD. Thought they were both pretty good, but neither were off the dial.

[Badlands]

I thought they were ace. More to do with being able to stand at the front and watch them with no real crowd. The sound was as good as I've ever heard on the pyramid.

In a tent as the sun was going down at latitude was one of the best things I've ever seen. I'll make the most of Brixton knowing I'll not see them at Glasto

[zero000]

Blondie - £60 a gig

TWOD - £25 a gig.

No regrets about seeing Blondie even if I do have to go to Shottingham to see TWOD.

It was rather special. I was grinning from ear to ear throughout the set.

I was at the barrier during TWOD. Sun/rain/sun/rain/sun/rain/etc...

It was great. Too bad there's no recording of it

Would've loved to hear it back. Maybe the best I've ever heard the Pyramid stage sounding.

[ItsBadForYa]

Disappointed they're not playing this year, as they were definitely a highlight of last year.

I'm hoping they add an Irish date to their tour in the meantime.

Agreed

their show was a highlight for me

Probably the act making the biggest impression this year was Royal Blood, personally I loved Pretty Lights, Turtle Island, The War on Drugs, Above & Beyond, and many more too.

Long shot I know, but does anyone have tickets for tomorrow at Albert Hall that might be willing to swap for Thursday?

[deadpheasant]

I remember TWOD being fairly empty cas everyone went to see Blondie. Loved every second of it though. Sun had just come out, everyone was smiling. Great start to the weekend

[home to you]

Great start to the weekend

Indeed it was! And the closest I'll ever be to the Pyramid.

[Riggins]

It was the show that made me go back and have another listen

[FuzzyDunlop]

Off into town now to watch TWOD at the Albert Hall.

I'm sure they will be great

Me too! Very excited!

[The 38 year old virgin]

My first visit to Brixton in a couple of weeks, think I'll play the album on my cycle to work tomorrow

[russycarps]

I'm seeing them there next Tuesday. Brixton's a great venue

[FuzzyDunlop]

A great gig last night. 1st time seeing them live and I was impressed. "An Ocean Between the Waves" was the obvious highlight for me.

They were on for around 90 mins I think (minus 2 for a short break).

The set up and lighting added to the mood. The albert hall gave it a great feel.

I'm sure you will all enjoy, I'll definately be catching them again.
