Appropriate name considering this is my worst clash of the weekend. I'm so bloody conflicted. I'll probably decide on the day, and then spend the rest of the time worrying about it. #Glastonburyproblems Edited June 16, 2017 by big__phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Lawn Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) The new album has really made me a fan. If I'm remembering it right, the reception was a bit lukewarm for it on here; but for me where RTJ 1 and 2 were both a lot of fun and pretty masterful MCing, RTJ3 pushes them into the territory of proper brilliance. The beats and the subject matter and the lyricism is just way above and beyond what they've show before for me. Truly, RTJ3 makes them worthy of their reputation as bonkers paper gay.

Robinn Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Saw them at Best Kept Secret last night. Amazing show, especially the RTJ3 songs. Definitely go and see em at Glasto, people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Shame - but I'll watch cabbage and Thurston Moore instead (was a clash). Will JC still come? Or was his appearance predicated on his love of Run the Jewels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Noooo!! Obviously can't be helped but this would be really bad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 If De La Soul pop up as a replacement, we may be able to nail those Gorillaz rumours. Or if Gorillaz do for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st dan Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Jezza and Tom Watson have 48 hours to learn RTJ's back catalogue, to step in and replace them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I think the stage is set for Gorillaz to step in with as last minute replacements and wow the Pyramid crowd with a set largely consisting of album tracks and 'special' guests half the crowd haven't heard of.

pastorofmuppets Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Shit ☹️ Was really looking forward to this, at least there's still BBNG. Completely understandable of course. I think the most likely replacement is Skepta again. Already on site and pals with Jezza, can't see who else they'd get at such short notice.

superhands91 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 NOOOO! I just caught wind of this around the site.. I hear his mother has passed... very sad for him I'm sorry K.M. I am so sad for this they won't play though. They were my whole groups most anticipated act. Please tell me it is not so please be a decent replacement... cryying on the inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damy Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Sad to hear this, still no news if they will cancel totally understandable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Sadly Mike's mother has now passed away. He's sounding strong on Twitter but it would be a hell of a thing to fly over here and play Glastonbury within 48 hours of that. No word yet, to my knowledge.

superhands91 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Any news on this? I'm thinking if they cancelled will be a replacement already on site. Ev Ev perhaps? Call up Foals and get them to save the day again plz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0paz Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'm hoping the fact that they haven't said they're not is a good sign. El-p has been tweeting today but with the time difference they just might not know yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they'll still play myself as this must be a huge gig for them, but fair enough if they don't. Be interesting to see who they got as a replacement at such short notice, but hope it doesn't come to that - been so hyped for this set.

GravitySlave Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 My take from following RTJ for years, I think that Killer Mike is gonna want to do it. They have played west Holts for 3 years and loved it everytime. Although they say they are not political they are on after Corbyn speaks, crowd is gonna be electric. Mike knows how much love Glastonbury crowd gives, for him it could be cathartic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Agreed. I think they might do it and if they do, it could be the set of the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
