They’ll be back then.  Did we work out if they were headlining the JP?

I don’t think we knew for sure but the general thinking was Editors, Primal Scream and Charli XCX for JP headliners, as the first two were playing Friday and Saturday and Neil had info that Charli XCX was also headlining. It was a strong JP lineup though as Glass Animals and FKA twigs are also bigger than some previous JP headliners.

Manics were down as one of the JPT headliners weren't they?

So.... last year our thoughts were:

Pyramid - Kendrick, Macca, Taylor

Other -  Fatboy, Dua, PSB

West Holts - Thom Yorke, Kano, Isley Brothers

JP - Editors, Charlie XCX, Primal Scream

Park - Manics, Caribou, London Grammer

 

looking at lineups so far and touring plans I’d be amazed if we don’t get back pretty much Everything (barring the most talked about Pyramid situation)

That seems pretty reasonable for an arena gig.

Yeah it seems that the O2 gig is priced between £30-£35 before fees which is amazing. Cheaper than my Doves ticket I nabbed this week for Brighton Dome

It is a fairly low price for an arena gig, but for a pretty ubiquitous band on their first arena tour it makes sense. Has been same for the likes of Vaccines, alt-J, Frank Turner etc. in the past.

Pretty stoopid that they've called it the "One More Haim" tour, when Este, the largest Haim, makes it clear that the pronunciation is "Hai-um".

Are we bothering with the "why doesn't Este just eat the smaller Haims?" gag these days?

    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
    • We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.
    • The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
