The cool kids were jostling for position pre-Radiohead.

Indeed.

Although looking back it’s by far my biggest Glastonbury regret not seeing Lorde and pegging it for Radiohead. The XX were great, but ho boy that Lorde set looked incredible

Lorde seems to be at Mad Cool so when she said she didn’t have a tour planned she was being such a damned liar.

Where you getting that from? I thought she liked she could fit on that poster at the bottom, but Dental (I think correctly) has Pixies down for that slot. Do you have some info?

Nah think he just completely jumped the gun when he saw a small gap in the Mad Cool poster. Don’t think Primavera and Mad Cool (ever?) share headliners so incredibly unlikely.

I think Arctic Monkeys in 2018 was the only time they’ve shared a big act but yeah, there’s very rarely much crossover between the lineups at all. I suppose it’s possibly more likely next year with Primavera booking so many headliners but Pixies do seem much more likely for that gap.

I looked at her charting numbers and I didn’t realise how little her numbers in the UK are. Didn’t know that Melodrama didn’t do very well here yet was 1 in the US and Aus / NZ. 

Melodrama didn’t seem to chart well at time of release, but it did pick up steam over time. Green Light went platinum in the end. I guess since Royals she’s struggled to make a big splash, but picked up momentum over time?

I just think she’s not a main pop girl like Dua, Billie, Ariana, Taylor etc but instead one of those cult following pop artists like Frank Ocean etc. Not really arsed about their numbers and release when they want to.

I’ve been comparing her a lot to Frank Ocean at the moment but it does feel very similar.

Yeah that’s definitely the case. 

Which is a bit odd when chart stats get thrown around more in this thread than most others 😂 She’s just doing her thing and I’m there for it. If it goes huge then great, if not, cool.

I mean, this has been discussed at length right here on eFestivals. I don't know how you missed it.

    • I was assuming September in Stirling might have a different issue tbf in the form of it just pissing it down.
    • Yeah so many of mine seem to be just France v Spain in one semi and England/Brazil v Argentina in the other. But the fact those combos are the obvious ones mean it feels unlikely that'll happen because in World Cup history, you very rarely end up with what pre-tournament looks like the obvious final 4. We all see teams outperform and underperform. Which one is the fall guy is a different matter.   I've said elsewhere that for me, there's a hierarchy of Spain, France and Argentina as the 3 strongest looking, then England and Portugal, then Brazil and Germany, but that overall, they'd be the 7 likeliest to win. So I dunno, maybe this will be the time the Netherlands avenge the failure of total football in 1974 and achieve what they couldn't achieve through whatever the f**k Nigel de Jong was with his 2010 final karate moves.
    • Oh I think Infantino should resign. His handling of the whole WC process has been an utter shitshow. But you know. That would require him having integrity or something.
    • Good Charlotte would be fine third down or subbing. If they can get a bigger sub and still get GC, they’ll play third down.
