Jamie T

Coldplay made a good fist of getting the crowd going.  I've seen The prodigy try and fail with that "all get down.....now jump" thing in the past, a sight worth seeing only for the disappointment on Maxim's face when absolutely no one co-operated.

Fair comment though, bouncing was very much the 90s way to enjoy a gig, that and trying to stand your ground with your neighbours as the surges hit from the sides.  I miss it greatly.

I'm not really expecting feels from Jamie T, to be fair, more a fun gig with good old fashioned bouncing, fist pumping and the ground pumping with the stomp of dancing feet.  Get what you mean though, I'm sure I'd have enjoyed that Adele gig were it not about my (personal) 4th choice option that night.

Jamie T is hideous to my ears, yet people I respect greatly really like him. I think this is one of those situations where I just have to throw my hands up and accept that I'm out of sync with everyone else!

Yeah Jamie T has to be back, that 2015 set at the Other was fucking awesome! Be gutted if he's on the pyramid, but I'd still be there, front middle. Bouncing... (I'm a 90's girl.)

@spindles @Quark that Levs set 2010 at the Glade. Immense. What a flippen great dance. Good times

i was there for that.  i didn't crouch down because it was sunday and my feet, legs and back were fucked, plus i'm in my 30s.

i saw Jamie T in 2015, i was at a loose end and the others in my group wanted to see him and i wanted to watch Chemical Bros afterwards.  certainly there were a lot of people there enjoying him.  not my thing musically, but it wasn't offensive.  his new single has me reaching to change radio station, though.

Is that new one the single or just the 1st release off the album. He did the same when he dropped Don't You Find before Zombie last time. Likely to hear a more commercial sounding one soon. 

Do we hold Jamie T fully responsible for the abomination that is Ratboy?

Released a video so guess it's the first single

If another fest get him exclusive like scottie thinks then I think subbing Reading.

Saw him in 2015 and then at Reading on the Sunday, throughly enjoyed both. Hopefully he'll just do what he did in 2015 which was do all the festivals rather than be exclusive to one, obviously early days without hearing the new album but have thing changed that much from last year that he'd go down the exclusive route?

I reckon he would do all the festivals, I managed to snag tickets to his comeback gig in 2014 as the smallest venue I've ever been in, it was the best night of my young life! It's great seeing them on big stages but nothing beats an intimate gig.

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • 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
