He was a shoe-in, and the Mercury is obviously a load of shite, but Sampha was the best one by quite a distance. Very talented fellow, nice to see him get recognition and pesos.

I enjoyed the album less than a couple of other entries but yeah I agree he was still the most obvious winner on the list, if you've seen a couple of these things. Hope he manages to stick around for the long term.

Do like the album but every time I see Glass Animals live footage, I can't believe they aren't more hated, y'know? I see the odds on them plummeted this evening so may be seeing more of them...

Their frontman annoys me so much. Did so when I saw them for the first time on Jools Holland and did so at Glasto this year.

My mate text me later in the day at Glasto to say he'd got stuck next to him at Katy Perry. Never been so glad to be listening to Liam Gallagher getting angry at a fog machine.

Edit: Not that I'd ever previously listened to Liam Gallagher get angry at a fog machine.

When I heard Will-2609 was stuck watching Liam Gallagher shout at fog, I'd never been so glad to be watching Muncie Girls. And I've been pretty glad to be watching Muncie Girls in my time, let me tell you.

    • Maybe hopeful but get Knocked Loose on the Sunday opposite the legend. Similar to the slot Turnstile had in 2022. Would be absolutely phenomenal.
    • One of my personal favourite bands at the minute - MUNA. Was very surprised not to see them booked in 2023 with their last album but hopefully they'll be around next year. Very fun new album from these guys and, as aforementioned, another standout for me at Big Weekend.
    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • 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.
