The Park 2017

[SwedgeAntilles]

Think I'll only be there twice this year (Angel Olsen and Moonlandingz) which is pretty disappointing given how much I was there last year. Ah well, thems the line up breaks. 

[edwardjc14]

Yeah the Sunday is a little weak but Julia Jacklin is great, Friday Sleaford Mods into Flaming Lips is amazing! also Moonlandingz, Amber Arcades and Bo Ningen

[jdog]

Glad to see some Norwegian pop make it to the Park. Was expecting Sigrid at John Peel, but I'd take her at the Park.

 

[dentalplan]

Friday is cash. That's gonna be my Park afternoon this year. If Radiohead weren't playing this year I'd legit be there all day.

Saturday is rolled over by clashes and Sunday is a little lacking yeah - not atrocious cos I'd really like to see Jules Jacklin and Dr. Dog but they're gonna lose out to clashes.

Feel it's a bit of a weak Park line-up this year. Everything seems to be stacked to Friday, which is fucking killer.

Sunday?!!

Avalonian Choir
She Drew the Gun
Dr. Dog
All We Are
Julia Jacklin
Lisa Hannigan
Nick Mulvey
Sampha
Kano

 

Dr. Dog is a good booking though esp for that time of day

[home to you]

Aye, it's not as strong for me personally this year but everywhere else makes up for it.

I'll be at Angel Olsen and Sampha for sure.

Possibly the TBA and Hamilton L (First Aid Kit are currently winning that battle).

[majormajormajor]

I saw Hamilton Leithauser earlier this year - fantastic. What a voice. And that album from last year is the tits.

[the wonderwhy]

Another belter of a lineup in my opinion. Would happily sit up there all day everyday, although I'd be disappointed if Kano was my Sunday headliner. She Drew The Gun til Sampha is a great run. 

Amber Arcades, Sigrid and Georgia are gems people may be missing out on. Good to see a more than decent female representation, too.

Never seen an act at The Park, but looks like I'll spending a fair bit of Friday there this year. Looking forward to it 

[tjamest]

Friday and Saturday looks like there will be various visits to The Park for me.

Mark Lanegan and Flaming lips on Friday and Moonlandingz, Sigrid and Songhoy Blues on Saturday

[Mardy]

Lanegan and moonlandingz for me. 

[Mardy]

And probably Margo Price. She's fucking great (or anyway, was at eotr last year)

[the wonderwhy]

14 of the 27 acts (actually, 26 because of the TBA) are either women or have women in the band, according to my quick maths

Thanks, I'll check her out - I always like a bit of country at least once over the weekend. Any other recommendations of that ilk?

[Bradders]

Who was it who pointed out good West Holts = bad Park and vice versa? Think the Park has suffered in that way this year.

[Wilfko]

I'm disappointed in Park, I love it as a stage but there's not an act I'll be visiting this year. Going to hit Spotify for acts in my 'gaps'.

Songhoy Blues fall in a nice gap, so going to give them a try, seems like good fun.

My Sunday is free till 530 for HAIM, any recommendations?

 Check out Moonlandingz playing on the park this year. You won't regret it

Two essential margo price songs

 

hurtin on the bottle. And i love this video, every time i watch it, i just want to go out and get shitfaced. Joyous stuff

 

Hands of time

Will have a look through the lineup, not really had chance to check it yet

[Mezhyp1]

Angel Olsen, Joe Goddard and Sampha for me. Would have loved to see The Flaming Lips but that's not happening 

[Mardy]

I've tried and tried with Angel Olsen, bought the album, listened to it several times, but it just doesn't fly for me (aside from shut up kiss me, which is a phenomenal song)

Not keen either.  Hard pass.

Agreed. Love that track but the rest just doesn't click with me. 

[Bradders]

Her previous album was better, try that one.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Y'all crazy, one of the best albums of last year. Also think this slot will suit her down to the ground, was looking forward to Royal Blood but the more I've thought about it today the more certain I'll be at Angel O instead
