I guess the album tanking didnt help here. How do you go from all the late night tv spots in the last couple of weeks to just dropping off with a fake reason. 

 

 

Yeah this is an incredibly flimsy reason, especially since her entire vibe with this album so far has been very back to basics, just her and a band on stage. What possible production elements could’ve changed that would cause her to pull out?!

The album may have done kind of shitty but surely she’d still want to promote it at this kind of thing, unless it was the show that asked her to step down. Interested to see who they get in her place.

That's really cool. She's still a big deal in New Zealand and I think it's sweet that she's recognised that she'll have a lot of Maori fans that will dig this, and she's helping out indigenous charities too. I am sure they'd have rather it was five songs from before this album but nice nonetheless!

So crazy looking at how the narrative shifted in this thread. I was so so so hyped for her return. Now I’m seeing her in london in a few months and I’m a bit meh.

I still think she will be killer live but it’s hard to get excited knowing that the setlist will be Solar Power heavy.

Hoping for like 6 or 7 songs at best I suppose. 7 from Solar Power, 7 from Melodrama then 3 or 4 from Pure Heroine would be a banger set, drinks breaks for the duff ones off the new album. 

Never seen her live so pretty excited for the novelty and the first two album songs, and Stoned in the Nail Salon.

She was one of the best acts I’ve ever seen at Glastonbury and I didn’t even see her full set in 2017. Perhaps because the bar is so low she’s about to have the best summer of her career! If she knocks it out the park it could be exactly what she needs.

I'm the same, got tickets to see her in Manchester but might sell since I'll probably see her at Primavera but honestly not bothered if I miss her either. I've barely gone back to Solar Power since the first listen, shame because the Melodrama tour was incredible

The Melodrama/Pure Heroine songs will more than make up for the lacklustre Solar Power stuff as long as she still plays a bunch from them both (and doesn’t try some crap laud back arrangements to fit her current vibe).  Just gotta hope she doesn’t try and pull some ‘ here’s my new album almost in its entirety’ shite.

I'm looking forward to seeing her. Whenever I see the 2017 Other footage I always wish I'd gone.

Will try and give SP another go before the festival too.

Looked great, think I was off watching Radiohead at the same time! 😄

    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
