The 1975

Anyone else excited to see them? They're a band I ignorantly fobbed off for ages due to their fan base (I assumed they were a rockier 5 Seconds of Summer) but gave their new album a listen when it came out and thought it was excellent.  

It'll be interesting to see the crowd they attract for Glasto, my friend seen them in Manchester this year and he said it was about 80% teenage girls. Anyone any indication where/when they might play on the farm?

Third down on Other on Saturday, apparently. Seems too low although they have a history of being booked too low at festivals so it wouldn't be a total surprise.

Their last Glasto crowd was very family orientated although it was directly before Dolly on the Pyramid so that probably isn't much indication of who'll turn up this year. It's always been very mixed in terms of gender when I've seen them, in fact there were a lot of couples both times I've seen them so far on this tour.

Did anyone else see the lead singer claiming the government had stolen his visual identity?

He is the new Johnny Borrell.

He can come across as a bit of a tit at times but the similarities between the government's video and their album campaign visuals is undeniable

That's from 2014. And if neon signs in unexpected places is really that unique an idea then Nathan Coley should be annoyed with them all.

Edit: it's also not the government's video, it's the electoral commission's.

Yes!! I can't wait. This will be my fourth time seeing them. I'm generally more into older rock, oldschool hip-hop and grime but I'm a massive fan of the 1975 to all of my friends' despair.

I really like them, The Sound is a really catchy song (I await the flaming...).
When I saw them in 2014 I didn't think they sounded that good but I was on the edge of the crowd, always a better atmosphere in amongst it so that might have made a difference.

Unless they clash with one of my "must sees" then I will almost certainly be there.

I saw them at Brixton Acadamy a couple of months back and yep the crowd was mostly teenage girls. I also thought their set this year was a million times better than Glasto 2014 (where every song kind of sounded the same and it was a weird slot for them before Dolly) - excited for this year, I think they'll be ace.

And to be fair to the guy, the woman who ran the EC's campaign directed a video for the 1975 back in 2013 (I think), so there is a link. He's acknowledged that obviously the band doesn't own all neon signs - of course they don't - but the fact there is SUCH a close similarity and also a link in terms of creative personnel can't be totally ignored...

Even then, I think he was joking. Seems a sharp, self aware dude tbh, way closer to yer Thom Yorkes than yer Alex Trimbles.

He does seem to be. He's pretty funny on Twitter and I get the feeling he's totally playing up to the stereotype and is very aware of how he is perceived. He also includes this in some of his lyrics which I think is quite amusing.

Bored the life out of me in 2014 to be honest so not too bothered about seeing them this year

Tbh I seem to remember them having a hectic schedule before then or something happening which meant they were knackered for the 2014. As a fan I still enjoyed it but I can see how they disappointed non-fans and they've been much better the other two times I saw them!

    • 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. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
