Somerset house series 2018

[zahidf]

Announced tomorrow. 5-15th July. I wonder who will be playing....

[finn_with_1_n]

Based off the past couple years, some pure guesses are Solange, Snow Patrol, Wolf Alice, Rag 'n Bone Man, Benjamin Clementine, Sampha, Young Fathers, Thundercat, Nathaniel Rateliff and David Byrne. Those are all stabs in the dark, just acts that I know are about and could fit in well

Also MGMT are doing loads of European dates in July but no UK dates at the moment

Cool, well that saves me spending any more money this week!

[dentalplan]

Pretty good. Eye-wateringly expensive though. Imagine paying £32 to see Sigrid before she has an album out!

I feel these acts really haven't been hard to see if you wanted to see them previously!

But it's not a set up I've been to before and missed MGMT in Brixton as I was away - so I'll be making the trip for one gig at least. 
FWIW, I saw Sigrid and Jorja Smith recently and they are both excellent. Very very good at what they do.

Aww I wish I had the power to switch the dates of this round slightly, I am in London 13th - 15th July as I have a Lovebox ticket for the 14th. To see MGMT or Metronomy on 13th would be a mint weekend. Jorja Smith is a great singer but I don't think 30 odd quid is worth it, I am sure she plays the Toon for £20 in October!

Good lineup. Bad prices.

Jeez... I was considering De La Soul, but at nearly £50 they can forget it. 

As an aside, I saw Warpaint there at last year's Summer Series and I found Somerset House oddly lacking in atmosphere. It may have been more down to the crowd of course, but it wouldn't be my first choice of venue after that and definitely not one I'd pay £50 for. Especially if I had a repeat muted experience.

I  saw Sigrid at Latitude last summer and she was really impressive...an excellent performance from a 20 year old...

but £32.....?!

Anybody shifting a MGMT ticket to this? Interested in paying cash money.
