Has he had any material or hit album since he last played? I still think at a festival like Glastonbury he isn’t in a position to be demanding a very high slot at all. 

His comeback album (first in 8 Years) has been a massive hit. L’Enfer or Santé mave more streams than say RHCP or Muses laters efforts.

Also his stage production seems too big for Silver Hayes?

New album, first one since 2013

2 songs from the album with 50M+ on Spotify, the rest of the songs from it have minimum 5M

In French speaking countries he’s massive. The same way that Rosalia and Bad Bunny are gigantic in their native markets. That will massively skew the listening figures.

Watched Billie’s livestream at Coachella and I would honestly prefer her to actually sing like in Your Power and Happier Than Ever because it sounds good but it’s awful when there’s a backing track. I’m not 100% but not sure it’s just the mixing on the vocals I actually think Billie mimed some of her set (see Bury A Friend and You Should See Me In A Crown). Pretty poor by Billie to be honest and glad I didn’t buy tickets for the UK shows as I’d be pretty pissed if I had. Watched Billie Eilish at Glastonbury 2019 and we walked off because we couldn’t hear her, thought it was an Other Stage problem but thinking it might just be a Billie problem. 

Yeah I was thinking it looks/sounds like a lot of miming, which is worrying… I really like her music but i’m reconsidering my choice of Friday headliner having seen this.

Switching around the 3 streams, it seems to be completely acceptable for top acts to sing along to a CDs/ MP3s now. I know this was normal for your average shit pop act in the 90s but it's creeping into more and more 'legitimate' acts. It's just easier and lazy but nearly never sounds as good as with a live band/ other musicians on stage whatever the genre. The most depressing thing is 95% of the audience wouldn't even notice/ care either way.

I thought this watching Megan Thee Stallion, I’m pretty sure for every song the actual track was playing, complete with her pre-recorded lyrics and she occasionally sung over it (and the audio was much quieter when she did) but half the time it was just the vocal on the pre-recorded track you could hear?

I agree. I think she's miming some of it. I actually just watched some of her glasto and she's doing a similar thing. 

She's great but I'm not sure why this appears so. Happy to be corrected.

I think so yes. It's hard to tell though as the Coachella sound on TV has been so up and down.

I think it’s probably to enable the dancing/sprinting around, which would clearly leave anyone too out of breathe to have the voice control she requires.

i’d prefer she stayed still than mimed but it’s a big stage to fill if you’re basically motionless

Didn’t seem to bother people when Beyoncé did it in 2011, so shouldn’t  bother people when others do it. You can’t run and sing at the same time, if an act spends all their time running or dancing, they aren’t singing. That’s what they have backing singers for.

It bothered me, I thought the same thing at the time. Crazy in love is basically just her going Woah-WoAh-Woah…

Stromae is headlining/subbing festivals all over Europe - not just in French speaking countries. He's a decently sized act, definitely bigger than SH headline.

    • Maybe hopeful but get Knocked Loose on the Sunday opposite the legend. Similar to the slot Turnstile had in 2022. Would be absolutely phenomenal.
    • One of my personal favourite bands at the minute - MUNA. Was very surprised not to see them booked in 2023 with their last album but hopefully they'll be around next year. Very fun new album from these guys and, as aforementioned, another standout for me at Big Weekend.
    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today.
