Speaking off - absolutely went off at Brixton last night.

Enjoy all seeing him tonight and tomorrow!

Haha it’s incessant already must have had about 20 heads on my Insta that were there - thought it was meant to be hard to get tickets!

The live show is good I caught it at APE 2021. Production still a million miles from being good enough for West Holts tho.

I have "balcony" tickets for tonight but I know sometimes (actually most times I've been) it doesn't matter - knowing how the tent was at APE though wouldn't be surprised if they enforce it - how was it last night?

Crowd was very young i thought, bumped into a few people there as well haha

re second point - not sure it matters. sure he'll have something new anyway for 2023 - if EP and others are booking him as a headliner he's gotta have something up his sleeve

edit - very cringe outside the venue afterwards, feel like every show people try and force a moment like that falafel shop with four tet in nyc. seems the met has cleaned up the nos dealers too

Might depend on the night & location.

Big nos crew with their own music outside Electric Brixton after Chaos in the CBD around 5am

Also saw them outside Phonox after DJ Tennis at 4am

I mean it was Fred Again, they'd have made £££ surely. They had them outside Kasabian but not fred again - doesn't add up!

Does anyone know where I can find the whole Bicep set online? (footage too, there's only audio in YouTube)

 

cheers people

Yeah weren't they supposed to be taking a break to record a new album!? Live show feels so overexposed at this point IMO

very odd, are they headlining a tent or something?

 

(I haven't been there for years so don't know what the setups like these days)

Tents gone its two main stages now. They are subbing the second main stage (outdoors) and so will be on about 6-7pm

Fred was amazing last night, love to see the size of the venues he plays when he’s next doing shows

Yeah in addition to what someone else said about it not really being 4th down, the Bicep lads are also lovely and I wouldn’t think make too much of a fuss about placement as long as they’re getting paid their fee. Headline lots of fairly tiny festivals.

Going to make myself a very unpopular person on here but I saw Fred Again on Friday at Brixton and I thought it was very average. 

I guess it would be hard to match the hype, but just felt it was a normal bog standard gig. Didn’t rate the set list much, felt there was pacing issues. Production was pretty minimal. Kept waiting for something that didn’t happen, I couldn’t get into it. Maybe it was an off-night for me, tired from work etc. 

Also probably didn’t help that I was likely subconsciously comparing it to last weekend’s gig - Bicep at Alexandra Palace. Obviously that is comparing apples and pears and is a silly comparison.

I've seen Fred Again five times now including Friday at Brixton- previously Village Underground, Islington Assembly Hall, APE and Primavera, and Brixton was 100% the worst of the lot. Over reliance on the 3rd album which is the weakest and he previously built the set to a really good final 15 mins but he lost that with the slow paced tracks this time.

That is a shame, I assumed she’d be nailed on to play next year!

[Franky]

Turns out this Four Tet chap is rather handy. 
 

Hopefully he makes an appearance somewhere next year.

Ffs that’s so shit, was quietly confident we’d get a HAAi live show. I know she played like 3/4 times last year but the live show looks so good.

Yeah I thought it would be a given she’d play again. 

I guess there’s still time for her to be offered a set, can’t imagine the slots are all wrapped up by December.
