The XX

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Was just checking to see what the prices are going for on Viagogo and noticed that they have Parklife 2017 listed as a date for The xx, so I guess if they have insider info (which they shouldn't really) then The xx will be headlining Parklife on the Saturday.

Do you have a link? Can't see that anywhere on viagogo.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Yeah - not sure if it will go straight to the correct page but this one http://www.viagogo.co.uk/search?q=the+xx or search 'the xx' and skip to the last page

 

edited: doesn't skip to the write page, so click on the 3rd page from that link

Think it's to do with the listing for last year. I searched 'Jamie xx' and it came up, then I searched 'Busta Rhymes' and it came up, then I searched 'Busta xx' (should happen imo) and it came up, so it must be the 'xx' combined with the 'the' off something else.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Yeah I thought it must have been led by that, no reason as to why Viagogo would have had inside info on a festival that probably won't announce their line up for another 3 or 4 months.

I dunno if it was enforced by I had my ticket checked against my name at sampha at electric brixton last week. Would have been a shitter if I had picked up a ticket on twickets like i often do.

First night of their tour last night, big fan of them playing Loud Places. 

[ghostdancer1]

i'm sure them leaving out Heart Skipped A Beat was just an oversight and it will be rectified by the time Glastonbury comes along

Now that is going to be worth seeing. One of the best songs of the last 5 years, no question.

3 Jamie XX tracks in that set - nice!

[Mezhyp1]

Playing that Shelter/Gosh mash up and Stranger in a Room is fucking fantastic. Heart Skipped A Beat and that's the perfect set list. I can't wait to see them

[SwedgeAntilles]

Properly excited about seeing them after reading that set list. All things considered I'd probably prefer them as Radiohead's sub as the possibility of decent acts headlining across the other stages over Saturday/Sunday increases. 

[Keithy]

Just caught them in Prague....on top form. Loud Places in the setlist and new song sounds great live. Mixed up a few old songs to give them more of a dance feel a la jamie xx album stuff. 

Going to have to bloody get a brixton tout ticket now as that was bloomin amazing.

Out of interest, when/how did you get into Radiohead and how old were you?

Liked creep from moment I heard probably became really aware of them from the bends onwards . Like anything if someone grabs ur attention you seek them out . Good thing about this forum as well is its widened my newer music tastes out. 

[jyoung]

Shelter / Gosh into Loud Places sounds perfect. Love what they've done with the encore as well.

Watching some of the earlier videos I forgot that there was four of them.

I read recently that it wasn't as amicable as was made out at the time. Baria was definitely forced out by the band and she was definitely bitter about the whole thing. Supposedly her input in the actual songwriting and recording was minimal.

What's the reason for the TBC on the lineup page @eFestivals?

Mentioned in another thread that he had info that they're playing but not where they'll be playing. Come onnnn Radiohead sub - I'd make sure to be front centre for all o' that

[zero000]

Guessing they'll be subbing Radiohead then? It's hard to see where they'd slot in after headlining the other stage last time, plus not being quite big enough to headline the Pyramid.

Cheers . Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for and think seems most likely!

[Stokesy10]

Really would be a superb Radiohead sub. Please make this happen!

[dentalplan]

Or naw. They'll die a death on the Pyramid. I would take Other headliner again in a heartbeat. Saturday night would be cool now they're bringing the party mix.

Sunset slot in front of a bunch of Radiohead fans I think they'll do pretty well. Depends on how the new album does too though.
