60% parklife - 40% Glastonbury

shouldnt it be the other way around? Seeing that he's gonna be in Northside (Denmark) which is going to be at the same weekend of Parklife. 9-11 June (Parklife 10-11). Since we know that he's gonna be in the UK mid July, late June seems much more likely than mid June

I got it the wrong way round, my bad. I meant 60% glasto!

If he plays I could see him subbing Bon Iver on Other against Foos/Royal Blood on Pyramid. Before his album released I would have probably seen him as a Pyramid sub as the hype was pretty crazy, but as soon as the album was released I don't think I ever heard anything about it really.

surely he's big enough for Other headliner? I prefer Bon Iver but arguably Frank Ocean is massive right now.

I think he's probably borderline between Other headliner/sub. He may be more popular in the mainstream than Bon Iver but I think at Glasto Bon Iver would get a bigger slot.

Radiohead / Major Lazer

Ed Sheeran / Bon Iver

Foo Fighters / Frank Ocean

Tbh

yes good 

At this point I can't remember who the third Other headliner is thought to be but they would struggle to get a better set than that, in terms of contrasting the Pyramid bunch

just announced for primavera in Barcleona.  Headliner set at night vs foos is prob the best i can hope for :( i will want to see Ed because its the pyramid stage and its a huge artist. Obviously cant miss radiohead on friday... so basically i need bon iver to sub radiohead and frank ocean headlining other on sunday

Pink & White is my personal favourite. Definitely just listen to the whole thing.

I think in the midst of all the hype Blonde has ended up being underrated by a lot of people. It would've been impossible for it to ever live up to the weight of expectation that was put on it (partly his own self-doing), but that said it still stands up as a fantastic piece of work. probably my 2nd favourite album all year after Kaytranada's. 

One criticism I heard was that there were no 'bangers' on it. From what I can hear there were no 'bangers' on Channel Orange so what were people really expecting?

Can't wait to see his setlist for this tour.

The likes of Fertiliser, Sweet Life, Pyramids, Lost and Monks were all far more upbeat/had bigger choruses/were more 'bangers' than anything on Blonde, which is what left a lot of people disappointed/underwhelmed I guess. Don't think anybody expected it to be quite as low key as it turned out to be

Fertiliser is as much of a banger as Start, with its PS1 intro, is a smooth RnB number. Call me a traditionalist, but I'd prefer he stripped them off and just kept to tracks!

Control is the best track on Blonde, whats more, you can recreate the track with a used helium balloon over this festive period.

Anyhow, I digress. Still think he's more likely for Parklife than G.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?    
    • Yeah mentioned in the park thread but feel more Woodsies to me
