cammie81 Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 I was at the Let's Eat Glasgow there last year (if it's where I think it is) and didn't seem that big for a band as popular as the xx but maybe it's hard to judge with all the food vans, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was at Let's Eat my friend and I were discussing how it would make a good venue, and lo and behold... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DL50 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Saw the XX in Cardiff last night. Absolutely incredible. Don't see how it can be anything other than Other Stage headliners for them. Their light show adds so much to the atmosphere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoyed it. Reckon a sub slot on Pyramid would work but other than that it must be other headline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Yeah, I've put my finger on it. Tis the middle of the record when there's a few Romy-lead songs that makes it dip for me. The start and end of the record are great tho. These live reviews are getting me nice and excited too. Selfishly hope they're subbing Pyramid though because I foresee some hefty clashes.

cammie81 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Sorted for the Glasgow gig. Tickets a very reasonable £32.50 as well which was a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Clearest Blue Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Went to their Cardiff gig on Friday, I wasn't expecting too much despite all the positive reviews on their other gigs on here as i wasn't sure how they would work live. I was blown over, it was awesome, loved every minute of it, it built from the first song to an incredible finish, when they play the farm, I'll be there regardless of positioning or stage!

It was just awesome, those mirrors were brilliant, and I was dead centre in the crowd, when they lowered the 'mirror ceiling thing' it was cool that oyu could see what Jamie was up to haha, perfect start to a weekend.

Some events at SWG3 happen a bit later but probably because they are indoor. Ignore me, just checked doors at 4pm.

SwedgeAntilles Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 They're profile seems to be really shooting up off the back of the new album. This is a big performance for them this year, if they nail whatever slot they end up doing they'd look nailed on to headline on the next album.

I just thought this was pretty much their level and they'd plateaued already. And except some (deserved) drooling over their guests at Brixton I had thought the latest wave of hype died down shortly after the album was let loose.

Obviously it's all anecdotal but it certainly feels like they're ubiquitous at the moment. More so than they were when the second album dropped. Undoubtedly the Brixton shows + guests is a big part of that, but just by organising that type of thing it suggests to me that they're at their most popular. I suppose we'll have a better idea after festival season. Edited March 23, 2017 by SwedgeAntilles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparx Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I agree that they seem to be in the limelight more this year compared to after their 2nd album came out. But yeah I don't have any data to back that up, just a general feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
