RY X

[TobySinclair_]

Does anyone know if the listed RY X playing the Gas Tower on Sunday 22:00-23:00 is this RY X: http://ry-x.com/

I really hope so because I love his stuff but surprised he's not playing on a bigger stage so wasn't sure if it's him.

er

how many RY X's can there be lol but he's not that big either

 

Unfortunately he clashes with Justice for me so I won't be there :((

Beautiful music. Not sure I'd want to see a whole set though, unless he fancies playing at my tent while I nod off.

Never heard of him before, but sure I'll be hearing more in the future.

Holy crap, check the stats for his Spotify Popular list!  I'm guessing Berlin featured in some TV series or film?

Saw him at Blissfields a few years back, really enjoyed the show, alas the Justice clash puts paid to me seeing him, also worth checking out his side project Howling which he does with Ame, more dance leaning stuff. I think Berlin was used for an Ad you're correct.

Was on the radio a lot. Probably further popularised by this

I don't like Sam Smith at all but it's a pretty good cover

Saw him at Green Man Festival a few years back. Loved the debut album too. Had just presumed this was a different Ry X as couldn't find any more information and that mostly the other acts on the same stage are all DJ's. Hopefully someone can prove me wrong.

Is he also in The Acid? Seems like he does dabble in electronic, so a DJ set might not be out of place that sort of stage/time

[Theodore]

I presumed it was a band set (rather than DJ) and its because of his association with The Acid (who scored the installation being shown at The Gas Tower). I'm in two minds over the Justice clash!

Posted this in an earlier thread but it's definitely him and he'll be playing with his band. He's involved in the acid too who are playing that same slot every other night in the gas tower. I was over the moon when I saw him on the lineup by himself. I went to see him in Manchester last year and it was incredible. Said at the time that the only thing to better that gig would be to see him at Glasto. Definitely works better at night and in a small venue so happy he's where he is rather than early on the park stage. Unless you really love Justice then go and see him. He is even better live than on record. The whole room was mesmerised when I saw him - nobody said a word during the songs which I haven't seen before. Will be the perfect end to the festival. Well the bands bit at least. Perfectly placed in the SE corner to get to NYC Downlow for Masters at Work before the crowds descend.

Cheers for the info!

did he actually play? We turned up at the Gas Tower and there was a crowd of about 200 sat on the floor in the middle, nothing doing on the stage, and some trippy black and white imagery running on the screens.

[Theodore]

I didn't go after the disappointment of not being able to get in on Thursday for the bomb film. My own fault for leaving it too late to make it through the crowds. Although apparently the sound wasn't working? 

Did anyone see Ry X ? I can thank the lineup and yourselves for introducing me to his music though!

[Spider43]

I went but he wasn't listed to play! Was quite pissed off!

[teejdee]

I went too. When another band started just after 10pm I went and spoke to the sound guy. He said they switched the lineup around and RY X would be on after them. Went back an hour later and spoke to a guy setting up the stage for the next band and he said RY X was supposed to be there but hadn't got there yet. He checked with another guy who said they didn't think he would make it. 

What's odd is that he wasn't on the lineup posters at the venue, and there was no mention of Glasto on his Facebook page which listed all of his dates and festival appearances. Makes me wonder if he was booked at all. Certainly doesn't seem like he though he'd been booked. Messaged him on twitter that night but never got a response.

I was pretty gutted as Sunday was such a perfect day and was looking forward to ending it with him. At least I was in SE corner so got in to NYC Downlow for Masters at Work before they closed it off.

He messaged me this just before the festival. I only picked the message up after i got back.
