The Park 2015

[zero000]

Caribou would be a great park headliner, the new album isn't as good as Swim, but they're still great live.

The set I saw at WHP was a bit of a slow build but by the end it was going off! Can't do without you, is monstrous live.

[zero000]

Indeed.

Saw them live back in c2011. To be fair, my recent experience may have been somewhat aided by other factors

A bomb or two does definitely enhance the experience

It was WHP where I saw them. Start of the set was slightly ruined by large groups of young girls barging around, clearly not interested in the music. Once they got bored and cleared off I had a great night

[OBface]

Can't do without you was def a highlight. Sun was also pretty special for me.

Haha that's very true. I was probably suffering from "over aiding" myself the day before so perhaps my frame of mind wasn't quite right.

Yeah it was the same for me too. It was still loads better than Victoria warehouse though, what a horrible venue that is.

I wasn't overly impressed with four tet afterwards; that was a really dense and awkward set I thought.

Agree, the set felt a little flat after Caribou. Definitely not vintage Four Tet.

I never made it to Victoria Warehouse, I wonder what the new venue will hold. From I understand is going to be a massive uplift in capacity so not holding my breath...

I'm guessing you were at Airwaves? Pretty jealous!

[mr flow]

I'm guessing you were at Airwaves? Pretty jealous!

Yep. It was my second time at Airwaves. Highly recommended! Iceland is a great country full of really nice people. Kind of makes you feel a bit sad to come back to the rat race in the UK!

[OBface]

Really want to check it out one year. Maybe 2015 will be the year!

[Bisque]

I'm guessing Hot Chip are far too big for The Park despite being away for a while?

[Tuna]

Can't do without you, in my opinion, is the best single to be released in 2014. Incredible.

Why do you think GY!BE are so unlikely, Tuna? I agree, that would be ridiculously exciting...

Ben

Having seen them at their own gigs, they seem like the sort of band that need a long set and quite a backdrop as well. It pains me to say that I think they would not have much of a crowd at Glastonbury, too. If Mogwai had a pretty small crowd for a Park headliner, GY!BE would be smaller, I would think.

I reckon.

[Woffy]

I reckon.

Nah, They're Park Pefect now.

I agree.

James Blake says his new album should be out around April-ish.

could see him headlining again. either that or playing in the JP tent.

Two years in a row? I really doubt that.

Still hoping for Jason Lytle at the Park...perhaps with Gruff Rhys as a guest*

*A long shot on both counts but fuelled by Jason's most recent facebook pic...

Patti Smith doing Horses at Field Day, would be great as a Park headliner

[klipper]

Yeah patti smith would be incredible, it's a bit of a travesty imo that she wouldn't be considered pyramid or at least other headliner size but even better seeing her in a more intimate setting. If she did headline the park would she be likely to do horses in full or is a more career spanning set more likely? personally I consider Easter on a par with Horses so would probably prefer the latter. However, Horses in full would be pretty breathtaking (excuse the sensationalist language, I'm pretty excited at this prospect, might even get field day tickets even though its around a-level/revision time for me :/)

[Mardy]

Patti Smith is so amazing live. Puts everything into it. Would love to see her.

[Mardy]

hehehe, I reckon we agree on quite a lot, probably.

She was incredible at EOTR the other year and even rescued an afternoon at Hop Farm. I don't use the word often, but live, she is inspirational, in that she makes me want to go and create something after seeing her commitment to her art.

[mr gumby]

Not sure if I've missed something, but why is Patti Smith being discussed for The Park? I realise she's not everyone's cup of tea, but surely she'd be at least an Other stage headliner? The only way she could play The Park without serious H&S problems is if it was a truly secret set.

I would disagree. If you look at recent tours and the venues she plays not on a level of Other Headliner. People are talking of Caribou headlining Park, he is headlining Field Day, Patti is not. Very influential - yes, but not necessarily the big crowd puller

[Guest]

I reckon she'd be on West Holts, and I'd be in the front row.
