I've seen Bastille a couple of times at GF. Full disclosure - I quite enjoyed it. Both times. So there!

An upvote for bravery :P

Heard too much of them on the radio, annoys me. But things tend to improve while intoxicated in a crowd and hearing songs you haven't heard for quite a while (thankfully)...

First two were solid 7/10s for me. West Ryder a bit worse, Velociraptor! worse than that, 48:13 honestly one of the worst albums I've heard, and For Crying Out Loud a tiny bit better than that. I'd rank them as follows:

1. Kasabian (7/10)

2. Empire (7/10)

3. West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum (6/10)

4. Velociraptor! (5/10)

5. For Crying Out Loud (4/10)

6. 48:13 (3/10)

Why am I ranking Kasabian albums on eFests? I don't know. I did actually listen to them all again earlier this year in the lead up to Mad Cool as I was giving a fair chance to all the acts playing.

Generous.

There's people on this forum who talk about how the Pyramid field bouncing around to Kasabian was 'dull' and that watching Thom Yorke mumble his way through track after track 'went off', smh.

My dad had a ticket to Radiohead at Old Trafford, watched the start of their Glasto set, told me it sounded like funeral music and then didn't come to the Old Trafford gig (not for that reason but I don't think he wanted to go after seeing the Glasto set).

Glad to see Billie Eilish is doing major festivals. Given she's 16, i didn't think she'd put herself under that pressure. That girl is going to be fucking massive if she carries on as she's started. Hoping she pops up on Park next year.

I assume she'll be celebrating her GCSE results like everyone else there.

That R+L poster is grim. It has also made me feel extremely old as I don't know half of the names on it! The one's I do know are pretty shite as well. Bastille are awful, the Mrs tried to drag me to see them a few year back- I went elsewhere after 2 songs which was more than generous i thought.

a couple of names weren't even in the efests bands database, and there's about 100,000 bands in that.

Out of nothing more than curiosity, has that been compiled by yourself over the years or was it acquired through some sort of data bank?

    • Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.    Although Hakimi is in Morocco squad.   
    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band.
