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!

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
