Fleetwood_Mac_And_Cheese Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Thought the chemical brothers were incredible. Jon Hopkins was pretty great as well. The highlight of the day for me had to be Spiritualised, it felt unworldly it was so good. Primal scream however... Maybe not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Did anyone catch Little Dragon yesterday? I'm interested to know if they will be bringing their stage set up to their festivals shows this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I’ll check that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Hopkins was phenomenal — an added benefit was, unbeknown to me, I avoided the tentative downpour in the indoor West Stage? Question: last year there was a real ale tent. Yesterday I couldn’t find it. Did anybody found one? If yes, whereabout? https://mobile.twitter.com/gdpreston/status/1131928967508889600 This bloke reckons one bar was selling Five Points and better cider on draught. Only having Strongbow, Red Stripe and Dark Fruits at most bars is pretty bad for fans of drinks with flavour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bar (I think its just to the east of Jagerhaus) was the only one selling different beers (some bars only had "packaged beer"). Lagunitas and Five Points Ale, Redchurch lager, and one other I think. Think they were all £6.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the other bars have Maltsmiths IPA, which is passable. Though it’s a real shame they don’t have a deal with one of the many fine Hackney breweries.

From what I remember, there was a big backdrop with an open mouth and (I think) that was it. But I was far back so might've missed a bit. Hot Chip were on top form. Saw them in Brighton earlier this year but yesterday's crowd were in a far stronger dancing mood. Little Simz was brilliant, Kate Tempest felt awkwardly scheduled 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WStoner Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Friend if mine got caught by a dog yesterday so stay wary, folks! Otherwise yesterday wasnt too bad. Stayed at main stage all day. Danny Brown was fine but seemed to be going through the motions compared to other times I've seen him. Too wasted to remember Hot Chip but remember Chems being decent after the rain. Sound and visuals were decent. Don't remember exiting being as bad as last year? All in all, not bad! Bit gutted to have been among two of my friends who actually paid to get in Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilgamesh69 Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 So busy today, it's mad. Also full of obnoxious indie lads too. At least the music is good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatteredscreens Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 I don't mind paying full price for Bon Iver, I just hope for something similar or at least a large discount on the BST Florence day so I could see The National on the cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirjonnyp Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Yesterday was absolute top banana, especially given that I won the tickets in the morning. Agree with the comment above that the crowd for Hot Chip being better than the village underground crowd in April - the band themselves on great form. While I've seen Primal Scream better, the singalong in Loaded as the heavy rain started was pretty special. First time seeing the Chems and they didn't disappoint. We were about five rows back from the front on the left, can't say either of us noticed the speaker blow though. As for security, I walked in with a small bottle of voddy (decanted of course) in my pocket and didn't have an issue. Our tickets on dice didn't scan and the checker told us that it had happened with the comp tickets earlier and just waved us through. She was supposed to get her manager but couldn't be arsed. I think that the queue out of Nick Cave was worse last year, although this year I went to the Eleanor Arms rather than join the masses. Overall a really good night, tempted to pick up some cheap tickets for tomorrow just for James Blake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main stage sound is terrible. Much too quiet. Seemed good last night but I was near the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
