Why would Parklife make him less likely for Glastonbury? He barely tours - So doing other UK fests for the cash makes sense. Doesn't really affect Glasto I don't think, unless he's an exclusive obviously

Somewhere said he was only doing two UK fests, and this would be that quota filled

Yeah he got announced for Lovebox as a London exclusive and one of two UK shows. Only likely contenders for that second show were Parklife or Glasto really, and obviously Parklife would fill the quota as Zac says.

Said he's doing 2 uk festivals. So lovebox was announced as a London exclusive and if he announces parklife too that would be the 2. Hopefully that's wrong but...

the new album will not go down well at all at parklife. 

 

Well im seeing him in Barcelona so its all good.

i've got a feeling he might go the way of Kendrick with his festival setlists and play more of the first more conventional album than his latest less crowd friendly one. as much as i love it there really is a big lack of songs to get the crowd going on the new one, and as you say, a Parklife crowd isn't gonna be the most understanding of that

goddamn, i really thought he was gonna be at Glastonbury and it was gonna be ace. so glad i'm doing Primavera

I really love about half of it - like better than anything on Channel Orange. The rest of it just doesn't cut it for me, it's a shame. 

I love White Ferrari and Nights and both parts Solo. The rest ist rather weak. And what are those skits!

what's so bad about parklife? ive never been.. but im considering if frank is on next year

I'm probably a bit too old compared to its target market. It also seems disproportionately full of knackers. My mates daughter was sprayed in the face by some lasses with some chemical of sort and had to have treatment. 

I could probably go and enjoy the music, with no bother. I just can't be arsed paying that money for a place full of kids 20 years younger than me charged up like scarface.  

Each to their own though.

nah you pretty much got it spot on. 

(sorry to hear about your mates daughter, but honestly its just full of jacked up aggressive people looking to show everyone how hard they are and that they "do festivals".)

Can't find any mention so far on here but he's been announced for Parklife as we all expected so the dream is gone unless he does a Sigur Rós.

Disappointing but expected. Hopefully he'll do some more shows somewhere down the line. Thank god for Primavera.

I'm holding onto a bit of hope that he comes to Glastonbury. Blond(e) was a slow burn for me, but I really love it now (didn't put it in my top 40 AotYs, but been banging it all through Jan and it's like top 20 now). I bet he fucks off for ages again after this album cycle as well, so I really want to see him while I can. Parklife can fuck off though.

well its not really an article is it if its from Lovebox official press release http://loveboxfestival.com/journal/frank-ocean-headlines-lovebox17/

 

thanks for extinguishing my false hope.

Well hopefully he learns his lesson and we get him at glastonbury the next time he releases an album... (in  5 years). At least i got primavera. Would be better at Glastonbury though :(

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
