The Jacksons

Fucking bollocks it was how they could have the sound that bad and not do anything about it was beyond me did they have no sound guy near the back or? Piss poor for a headline set volume wise. I won't lie it just made the night get off to a crap start we were really looking forward to a bit of a boogie before heading out for the night but it was just a muffled mess. Wish I'd gone to see foos at least pyramid sound guys seem to know their stuff this year!

Were you on the side of the other stage? Really got to get in the middle even of it means sittinf further back 

Started back left and then walked across the back to the back right and didn't notice any change of sound at all.

Wind must have really been effecting it but it was crazy how much the volume would change every few seconds

I was near the front and the atmosphere was fantastic, I had high hopes and low expectations but the were bloody fantastic, I had a shitty day, really low so decided the jacksons were a better bet than the foos, I was absolutely buzzing afterwards

It was terrible and it couldnt have anything to do with the time of performance as dizzee was excellent the night before on the same stage.

They just won my worst show ive seen at glasto award. I left after a few songs and thier jive bunny style mix of hits. There was zero atmosphere in the field, only a few cheers from the front rest of the field was like a grave yard.

Brutal. I passed by the back side of it and heard 'Can You Feel It' but decided not to indulge them and headed onward. Sounds like I missed a bullet. 

At WH now waiting for an overdue Shaggy. Sound does seem to be a little inconsistent. Starting to re-think Justice now.

Didn't see the Jacksons, but the sound for The Avalanches was terrible too. It was because the wind was blowing from behind the audience towards the stage, carrying the sound away from the audience. Not a lot the sound crew can do about it. It's just a hazard of having outdoor stages.

Is it just me? Or were they genuinely woeful. Had misgivings, obviously, but sounded like the vocals had deliberately been turned down? Terrible disappointment 

I must have been at a different gig

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
