Got an email saying Mike Skinner is doing a DJ set at it, so maybe not? (Don't know if it makes it more likely or not to be honest)

He did say 'Mike Skinner and The Streets'. Mentioning the Streets would be naughty if it was just Mike Skinner dj'ing. Plus, that places him there and it makes a lot of sense given local link so I'm pretty confident it's them.

BBC's article says "The line-up for the five music stages includes Mike Skinner aka The Streets" which makes things even more confusing.

Pesky Blinders has the same issue as Sons of Anarchy where it feels like the showrunner is just going ‘Look how cool my music taste is!!’

Get what you mean, but is it an issue? I mean, the reasoning might be iffy but if it means the music's good then that's ok, right?

Also, I shall now only ever refer to it as pesky blinders.  Possibly while shaking my fist in the air :lol:

And his taste seems pretty pedestrian.

Jeez, I have always thought Bjork average at best. Can she really command those prices? 

I could maybe understand if it was a smaller venue such as Royal Festival Hall or Royal Albert Hall or whatever. But those prices for an arena, where you'll likely be far far away from the stage? Too much. She's a damn sellout

It doesn't look like a show where you miss out by being far away from the stage.

Even so, setlist looks like it's going to be very Utopia-heavy, and I've already seen her do that at All Points East.

 

Also, I met a girl once and she loved The Sugarcubes but had no idea Bjork was a very respected and established solo artist as well. It was rather bizarre tbh

Ah yeah definitely swerve if you're not bothered about the latest album in its entirety.

Also wow wtf. Were you at Area 51? Cos she sounds like one of dem aliens.

    • Chill. There is no chance Sziget will be cancelled by the government. Even the prime minister held a press conference today, where he confirmed this.   Magyar said they do not want to shut down the country or prevent events from taking place. He gave the example that vetoing an event would be like completely cutting off a large consumer’s electricity supply for the organizers. However, just as they have not taken such a measure against large consumers, they have not taken steps to cancel events either. (Magyar did not name a specific event, but he was presumably referring specifically to the Sziget Festival.) At the same time, Péter Magyar stressed that if disruptions occur in the system or the heatwave persists, it could become necessary to postpone or reschedule events (example: some Hungarian football games will probably be held in daylight, moved to a few hours earlier, to save energy), although he believes there is currently little chance of that happening. This is particularly true for events that rely entirely, or largely, on their own energy sources.
    • If the campervan field residents aren’t allowed to cut through orchid they’ve got a brutal walk on their hands.   otherwise not too many surprises 
    • This. I always read in awe the hatred toward the festival and Gerendai.  I see no chance of it being cancelled, except if something worse happens, like the whole electric grid collapses or something. But that’s not really a case. Worst case scenario is that the whole thing will be ran by diesel generators for the sake of the environment.
    • they are shutting down the nuclear power plant until Friday ; sziget starts 3 days later plus, they said they will have to import energy.    So I see no point in cancelling an event that will make them lose money
