Queues for the merch were the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Hundreds of people! They must have made a fortune. 

Any decent merch on offer? Nothing on the website as it stands.

No evidence for that mind. Just my feeling after playing so much of their new album (and B Sides, bonus tracks etc) at recent shows that it's unlikely to be a hits show. At the same time Damon knows what he is doing, and how festivals work so a set balanced 50/50 makes sense. Still proud to show off his new stuff while giving the crowd some familiar stuff. It may also be influenced by what guests are on site and willing to perform as a guest. 

Too late now Tommy, i've taken what you've said as gospel, if just one of the hits is missed then you are taking full responsibility.

I'm not sure they have quite the flexibility - in either mindset or personnel - to do a 'hits' set.

With it being a secret set, I reckon they'll just do what they want - new stuff mainly. With it being shorter, there will just be less of it.

I can just hang around and talk to my mates loudly until a song i recognise comes on.

Yeah I've never seen anything like it. Maybe you got a bit of weed with every purchase as that's all I smelt all day.

It seemed to me that all the specific DemonDayz t shirts went very early. I wondered past at about 4.15 just before De La Soul and they all had 'sold out' stickers on them

If they get an hour, this would be my predicted setlist:

(I Switched My Robot Off)
Ascention
Last Living Souls
Saturnz Bars
Stylo
Charger
Momentz
Strobelite
Sex Muder Party
She's My Collar
Dirty Harry
Let Me Out
DARE
We Got The Power
Feel Good Inc.
Clint Eastwood

I think the set list will heavily depend on what collaborators are at the festival

Well I'd say that it makes certain songs more possible. But not having De La Soul there won't rule out Momentz (for example), as they even have it nailed with the tapes.

On the right where you came through the gates?

 

That was the queue for the gorillaz mobile recording studio

Was next to a merch stall

If they are on which day do you think they'll be on?  Is Sunday night a possibility?

Still just a guess but the most likely surely has to be the Sunday John Peel TBA at 17.30. A small enough stage for a performance by them to be really special but not so small that it's gonna cause massive crowd problems.

After Neil said he'd heard Gorillaz were playing and had been told where they were playing, he still thought that JP slot was gonna be Liam Gallagher, so I'm not sure.

Wasn't that going off the thought that the Other Stage was vacated by Dizzee and to be replaced by someone else on the bill?

Yep, but if he'd been told Gorillaz were on the John Peel he'd surely have thought they were in that slot and Liam must be elsewhere (potentially the Park slot)?

    • How much is Burnham's success down to Manchester getting a shitton of investment for public transport infrastructure?   There's no doubt he did the work, but the money dumped into Manchester for him to achieve that was huge - the most of any infrastructure project outside London ever. Did that need a mayor, or just the money?
    • Sounds good tbh. 
    • Bristol was the only city in 2012 that voted for a mayor. We had a local independent who was popular, then Marvin Rees won and was so corrupt that Bristol voted to get rid of the position - having just had the WECA mayor position put in place as well.
    • They built a watering system and have been watering the island for the past few weeks to reduce dust, but given the current drought, there will still be dust. They will cover twice as much ground around the main stage with those plastic panels as they did before. They couldn't book Gogol Bordello because the singer was afraid the government would allow Russian security services to capture him if he entered the country. They didn't have much room to be selective about artists. They booked whoever they could get. This year's Sziget will be only about 50% of his original vision. He wanted a dedicated rock stage. They are preparing for a loss of 1.5 billion HUF this year. For some reason, student tickets are not selling in the numbers they had expected. He said that when he talks about the lineup being less important, he doesn't mean Sziget should have a weaker lineup than Primavera. Rather, it should have a similarly strong lineup combined with much more non-musical programming, so people from abroad come here to see the same artists but have a completely different overall experience. He didn't miss Sziget and originally wanted to spend no more than two days a week dealing with it, but now he's working on it full-time and has handed over control of the rest of his businesses.  
    • Well the point seems to be 22.7% turn out doesn't suggest the majority are rushing out to support the mayoral system.
