Live at least, Future Islands.  Really enjoyed listening to their stuff ahead of Glasto but lasted about 20 minutes in JP.  Just didn't click for me at all live.  Maybe my head wasn't in the right place but......no.

Agreed. The death metal growls just do not fit with the synthy goodness.

I'm the same. But substitute 'The Enemy' for 'The Beatles'.

I'd assume this is true with anyone who is sane, when people tell me they don't like wee Tom Clarke and the lads I tell them to get away away oh oh oh away from here.

+1 on The National. Its like tonnes of cool people I respect (on 'ere and elsewhere) are trolling me.

 

Plus 2 for the The National. I fell asleep when they played the Other stage (I'd just done a ska double-header though, so was a bit skanked out).

    • 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. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
