See I couldn't think of anything better (if we're being realistic to the size of Field Day). Horses for courses though hey

Quite, the type of festival/acts/crowd it usually gets it couldn't pull out a more perfect set of headliners really!

I cant, for the life of me, figure out how 'popular' LCD Soundsystem are in the UK....I.e. what size festival would they headline? Field Day? Latitude? Surely not Reading.....but yet....they are headlining Coachella. Mind you, that is scenster poser paradise.....

 

Im personally happy i get to see them again. I just.....have no idea where they would 'fit' in the UK festy circuit....Field Day is as good a shout as any....maybe Lovebox?!?

Lovebox is what we've heard, tho I can't guarantee it's right.

I'm confused now, I thought that turned out to be bullshit?

Nope, not necessarily bullshit.

Matey might be telling an outright porkie, or he might not. If not, what he heard might be right, it might not.

To be fair to him, he's in a place where in theory he should mostly get accurate info, tho I know from checking his history (some under another ID) he's not always been correct. From memory tho, he does have a significantly better hit rate than most posters here.

The DJ lineup gets better every year. Black Madonna, Tale of Us, Bicep, Jack b2b Gerd, Daphni -- all big bookings. Girl Band and Metz particularly float my boat too. If Primavera falls through then this lineup is solid enough that I can't complain too much.

Bad feeling it's gonna be Bloc Party as their London show is tonight (Thursday) and they could've been waiting for that to sell out/pass. It's not like Field Day could've anticipated how crap they'd become when they booked 'em though.

Oh, that fits too well. I really hope not, especially considering how many great bands are touring this summer.

Ah. That's okay after the prospect of Bloc Party but man gets everywhere. His new song is good tho.

Hoping he'll swing by Glastonbury this year, not sure where he could play these days though? 

Reckon we might see a 1-800 DJ set from him over the weekend.

The Sunday is looking like the more suited day for me though, not just I can justify the whole weekend price.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
