ghostdancer1 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 could certainly see Soulwax subbing JP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Tbh I'm not entirely sure just how big Soulwax are. When they played Bestival a couple of years ago they played slap bang in the middle of the day in a tent, and it was ace, but I wouldn't say it was particularly full or anything. JP/WH sub seems about right to me but I wouldn't be surprised to see them get lower (but if that's the case, a tent/John Peel is a must).

Was an age between album releases, and although the new one was good, it didn't exactly have blindingly good reviews. To compare them against another act from recent times, I'd say they're no bigger than Caribou, and they subbed WH didn't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then on the other side of that, Santigold subbed WH last year which seemed like a puzzling booking for me because I didn't think anybody cared much about her anymore. Felt like the original sub had pulled out and she'd been drafted in last minute. So maybe size/popularity can be overlooked sometimes. They're certainly a widely known name, even if this long awaited new album has kind of arrived with too little too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the same note Todd Terje Subbed the other year and I'd say Soulwax are arguably a more well known name. Agree with difficult to place though, I've got no idea.

Agree with difficult to place though, I've got no idea. Todd Terje had a huge (in the electronic world) new critically acclaimed album out though, so whilst maybe a bit too high, I could see the sense behind it. Soulwax have released a new album and it's seemingly gone unnoticed by a lot of poeple, and have been popping up live at festivals/gigs sporadically since their last album which has kind of dulled their 'return'. Headlined the second stage at Latitude last year (headlined on the other nights by Grimes and SBTRKT) if that's anything to judge them on.

But yeah you're probably right in that's how he got that slot. I think our best bet is to look at positions at other fests like you have done there. Headlining second stage at latitude is potentially a good indicator. I think I see them on JP over WH for Glastonbury. But if they play before Justice on WH it'd make my life a lot easier!

evilduck Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Soulwax?! I was at their London gig the other night and had the best time, was tentatively hoping for them to be added to the lineup. Before Justice would be excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memory Man Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Soulwax: Smaller than Caribou for me, but not small enough to relegate them lower than 2nd on WH if they were to play there. 2nd down on WH or JP would be appropriate Similar to LCD in that they have a very loyal following inside a certain age bracket but probably very little outside of that. At the same time though, I would have a hard time understanding how they could be below Metronomy on a lineup.

snorton82 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 If a couple of Sunday night headliners are Soulwax and Ed Sheeran it would justify me being half way back to Leeds come 11pm....garbage. Biffy and home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Just looks to be their logo slapped on a regular one. That's a William's Green act whenever I've seen one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems far too soon for the latter though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
