Do they ever use the Minack for gigs or is it just theatre productions?... Would still be a pain in the arse to get to mind

They do, fairly often, but it's far smaller than anything mentioned above.

So we’ve established she could’ve done a summer venues tour taking in Scarborough, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Blackpool, Manchester  and Leeds. Also Milton Keynes for the softy southerners who like concrete. Birmingham is building a city centre venue for the Commonwealth Games beach volleyball, that sounds good. And Wales can use Caernarfon Castle or something. Not exactly beach vibes for some of them but better than the dated af O2 Academies. 

I love/hate that this has generated more comments than the actual song she just put out.

New tune is an absolute bop. Love all three tracks that have been released so far. I like that she hasn't made Melodrama part two. Times change and people do too. Can't wait to listen to the album. In terms of venues, Roundhouse will be amazing and as for seeing her outside, well let's hope she's on the Pyramid stage later that month.

Wales is doing gigs in Cardiff Bay for I think the first time this year, not sure what they'll be like. Cardiff Castle is a really cool setting for gigs (although the bars were a joke when I went). Bristol uses the Amphitheatre by the harbour for those gigs that always give us Glastonbury clues.

It's just so nice of Lorde to provide us with a Summer of VIBES.

The official video is nice, but I'm feeling like the video for Crazy Town - Butterfly (minus the band shots) would be next level early 2000's-mystical-pleasure.

 

 

I was waiting for Nelly Furtado to show up.

Can't stop listening to Mood Ring, the 'floating away' hook is such an earworm. 

Can just imaging this drifting over the crowd at Glasto ❤️ 

What's the latest thinking on a potential slot she might play? Still all in for the Friday sub tbh, that would be a dream.

First few reviews seem to be coming in...

4/5 from the Guardian, 3/5 from the Torygraph and 2/5 from the Independent. 

Yeah tbh judging from the pretty basic direction the songs seem to have taken I’m not expecting another masterpiece/critical favourite like Melodrama. I’m sure it’ll be good but the singles have hardly been show stoppers.

    • 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. 
    • The single worst shout for any slot on any stage in the history of efests. Worse even than the Wursels or The Wombles.    Unlikely I’d be there, but okay with the other two. Boy George is a class act, plus he could DJ in Block 9    
    • Do people want an arena experience though? Especially for sub par bands. Rather a band do more nights at an independent venue for more money than 1 big one.
