Matt42 Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 When are Bicep going to play on a larger stage then? They are set for a number 1 album, which is quite mad for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will pass on that one. Not sure. They could do a JP, West Holts headline now easily. The Other Stage is pretty big and can get some pretty huge acts on it. I think it will be a while before that (but I’m not ruling it out). I think the scene has been craving a new dance headlining act (for second stages etc) and I think it’s probably Bicep.

I thought Disclosure headlined other in 2014, but it was West Holts. I’ll revise my statement to say that I think they could comfortably headline West Holts at this point.

If this album blows up as predicted, headlining West Holts would seem to be the natural step, following other dance/electronic acts like Justice, Major Lazer, Chase & Status, Underworld, Jon Hopkins...

Obiginnaw Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 They're currently Number 1 in the album charts, so if it does stay that way that's a sure thing to push them up also Brixton Academy have just released the 3rd rescheduled date for them to play Live to 10th September - obviously doesn't mean much but a bit of news towards live music is something too look forward to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Disclosure did the OS in 2016! Could definitely see Bicep doing it. WH next year and then the OS off the next album in a few years time? They've got crossover appeal that few electronic acts manage, and I think the pandemic has really helped them because it felt like they were everywhere for about 3 years, but now there's pent up demand to see them. I'm intrigued as to whether they'll branch out and start producing for others, or if they'll start working with more vocalists like they've done with Clara La San on Isles.

This is what I’m thinking too. They are a pretty trendy dance act and getting a rep as good producers. I wonder if they could become a chemical brothers style act with a few more releases under their belt. They aren’t as ‘poppy’ as Dislcosure but they get a good following. Will be interesting to see. They could definitely headline West Holts now. edit: I used to watch them in 100 capacity venues and they struggled to sell them out. The promoters were having to go above and beyond to sell all the tickets. If you told me they’d eventually have a #1 album I wouldn’t have believed you Edited January 26, 2021 by Matt42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I type this Radio 1 are currently playing them, at 1:39pm in the daytime. Read a good thing from them the other day where they mentioned losing a hard drive with ten finished tunes on around 5 years ago. The tunes were all in the same mould as Vision of Love, so they both mentioned that losing those tunes was actually a blessing in disguise as it made them reinvent their sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A socially distant queue for Berghain would run from Sven Marquardt to Ostbahnhof. I think this summer we're going to see a huge number of "illegal" parties right across Europe. Far too many for the authorities to police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acid Loafers Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Yeah, Bicep album is nice. I think I'd rather see them on WH over Other. Curious to see if the Brixton shows still go ahead. Could 5k capacity shows work come September? Just have to wait and see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danbailey80 Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) Speaking of us Bicep, we never found out where they were due to play in 2020. Any ideas. It was assumed headlining the Park but weren't on bill in the end (Spotify playlist). Theyd be perfect to headline there.
