kingcrawler Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I guess Skepta could have been on standby since one of Migos was in a car crash recently. Shame they couldn’t have just got The National to play an extended set. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daviddaviddaviddavid Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 That choice of netlist makes me even more convinced the National will do a boxer set. Just wish I knew where. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjrant Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Working theory that Skepta was added to the bill to drag the 'Pissed Up Brits' away so that everyone else could enjoy Charlotte Gainsborough. She was ace. Edited June 1, 2018 by tjrant Realisee it was a bit daft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set comprised almost entirely of the most recent two albums, though. Would have enjoyed an extra song from Boxer or Alligator. Finished with "About Today", dedicated to Scott from Frightened Rabbit, which was a very nice touch. Definitely wish they had longer to play though. Feels like an extra 3/4 songs wouldn't have hurt at all! Have seen them loads of times now and it was a solid set from them. Not an all-timer for me but few complaints other than the setlist chosen. Otherwise, today, really enjoyed Father John Misty and the Breeders. And Mike D. That was a lot of fun! Cigarettes After Sex was a total snooze from the top of the steps though. Could barely distinguish one song from the next. Hope it sounded better from down below. Edited June 2, 2018 by ConfidenceMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can also imagine him watching Ty Segalls drummer and saying 'I can do that...' but no one in his band believing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red90 Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Yeah, Cigarettes After Sex were shit. I don’t get the hype at all. Father John Misty delivered, he’s one of the reasons I came to the fest and he didn’t disappoint. Horns and strings! Great setlist and Josh in top form. I’m really glad I left mordor before the National and headed to Bacardi. Superorganism are among my highlights now, fun fun fun gig. Charlotte Gainsburg was fantastic and Arca gave me some much needed energy for the end of the night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I was at the front for Cigarettes After Sex and really enjoyed them. I can understand the criticisms people are making but their lp was my listen to on the bus back from a festival lp of last year. So leaning on the front barrier in a soperific state whilst they play is memories of snoozing through Yorkshire, Wales, the South West and the Isle of Man last summer.

kingcrawler Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I saw Cigarettes After Sex at the Apolo gig they did last year and they were ridiculously dull, avoided them this year as a result. The National were my highlight today. As ConfidenceMan says, it wasn’t their best set but I think that’s more down to the time rather than any issues with the performance. It could maybe have done with a more upbeat older song in place of Rylan or Walk It Back but not going to complain, I really enjoyed it. Everything else I saw was generally really good too. Haim probably aren’t the most popular hand on here but they put on a really fun set, as did Confidence Man who were a great way to end the night. Father John Misty was a good warm up to The National and Charlotte Gainsbourg was much better than I’d expected. Wasn’t hugely into Arca but then again I wasn’t expecting to be and went mainly out of curiosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
