Did Damon just shout out Block 9? :blink:

The plot thickens...

They do set designs for quite a lot of tours and such. They put together Skrillex's spaceship for example.

Just googled it, and they did design Gorillaz' current stage design... But maybe an indicator?

if the current show was played on the Pyramid a few years back, it would be remembered much better than it is now.

I was thinking this whilst watching them at the Brixton the other night. Just a completely different experience to the last time I saw them.

I saw them at the Roundhouse a couple of months before glasto in 2010 and the crowd all brought into the zero interaction and tightly structured show - it was superb way of experiencing the music and visuals and one of my favourite gigs from recent times.

The current show however is a lot looser, the band seem to have been handpicked to represent the characters and it's all a lot more anarchic - probably a lot closer to Hewlett's original vision of Gorillaz.

So yes, if this show had rocked up to the farm 7 years ago we'd probably be talking about it in a very different way.

Nailed it there mate. I was thinking that the other day in St Albans. Seye came rocking out for the encore without a shirt on, and busted out the bassline to Feel Good Inc. I immediately thought "That is actually Murdoc"

Ooof. The crowd are well up for this. Better than the headliner tourists who decided they didn't like Gorillaz music after they turned up to see them.

Are you talking about when they played Glastonbury? 

 

If so it seems a weird thing to compare

I know it seems like we're all chatting shit about random stuff on here, but it all comes back to Glastonbury in the end. Even in normal life, I'll compare the most inappropriate things to Glastonbury. Like when it rains on a Thursday but clears up for the weekend, I'll say "that's so 2008"

    • Muse will be about but the issue with Muse is that they’ll have the pick of doing IOW, BST, Glasto, R&L or big parks/stadiums.

    • Not sure what this means for 2027 but it looks like Holt Farm's website and email are both now inactive and unavailable.   It'll be a shame if they don't operate for 2027 as it was an excellent alternative to the other off-site offerings.   Fingers crossed they're just enjoying their downtime 🤞
    • Deftones, Blink, Muse?   Deftones as the next bump up makes all the sense, Blink as the "band that has never played before" and round out with Muse as its been a long time since they headlined and they have a new album coming which seems on the heavier side from the singles so far.   I could see Muse do their own tour to be fair, maybe MCR in their place? Could also see Deftones switched out for Slipknot/SOAD depending on who is about.
    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)
