Saw them last night in Manchester. Not for the first time by any means but probably the most I've enjoyed them. They've beefed up the sound with an extra guy playing synth and there were a lot of tunes that segued really well from one to another in the first half of the show. Unless something comes from left field when the final line up is released they nailed themselves on as my Sunday night. Can imagine that being a proper party atmosphere and excellent way to sign off the festival.

Good to hear. I'm seeing them tomorrow in London, but that means I'll probably end up seeing something else on the Sunday night if there's a clash.

Shame there's not more Nights Out on that set list really, I bloody love that record.

It was really different turn for them which was great, but don't personally think it's the best gig I've been too ...... but already decided that I'm watching them at Glastonbury as do love this band :)

 

got it the set list too :D

Hoped for more "Nights Out" since the new album was described as a spiritual successor to that.

Metronomy seem to be in a weird spot: I don't think they gained any fans with the last album which may be due to the weird (= non-existent) marketing of it. They gained momentum with The English Riviera and Love Letters but seem to have lost it all. Not sure if that's because of my vanishing interest in them or if there's something to what I said.

I wouldn't hasitate to chose Justice over Metronomy in case they clash.

Saw you get it, you lucky sod, we were so sure we'd get one as there were 5 but 3 of them were given to people on the balcony

fantastic show regardless, felt like a proper party and all the songs fflowed so well

Pretty confident I'll see Justice instead (if that's happening) but it'll be sore missing Joe and pals. Especially so if they're mining the new album so heavily and also potentially offering On Dancefloors.

Where do you recommend starting with justice? I remember a couple of remix hits they had awhile back

My (likely) worst clash is going to be Justice and Metronomy, gutted.

Are you planning on heading to the SEC after (Sunday night in the Temple is always where it's at). If so, then it has to be Justice for the quick dash in.

Their debut [cross] is the one if you seek out a single studio album. If you enjoy it, dig into the latest one [Woman] and then dabble with the live records.

Pretty happy having Metronomy or Justice as my Sunday headliner especially with Phoenix/Moderat on before somewhere - will be a very fun end :D

+ following on from Dental, 'On Dancefloors' needs to stay in Metronomy's set - banger
 

I dunno how it fits really cos its that cold and dark its practically post-punk, and they made and established their name with pop ditties off Riviera and Love Letters, but god damn is it a good track.

On Dancefloors is a weird inclusion from Nights Out, but I love it so it can stay.

Seeing them on Friday, and I've already made up my mind to see Justice over them so I'm kind of hoping they will just be ok so I won't change my mind again!

Also off to see them tomorrow but am really not sold on the last album. As we are doing set lists thought I'd add this in

 

Nope can't get the media to upload no idea why I'm new to this site, it was their Williams Green set list from 2014 which we have framed

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
