Oh my days!! These schedules are horrendous!! Stereolab v Tommy Cash V LEG; James Blake v JPEGMAFIA; Interpol v Kali Uchis; Courtney Barnett v Sons of Kemet XL; Big Thief v Lucy Dacus v Tomberling; Kate Tempest v Rosalía; Low v Modeselektor - I have never seen this amount of awful clashes!

Kali Uchis v Interpol is the big one for me, but otherwise I’m ok. Lucy Dacus v Big Thief is a shame, but at least it’s not a total overlap...

Why is Erykah Badu not on the timetable?

Nice catch, my guess is they forgot about her, Guided by Voices have no time set

Most of the names you mentioned have almost nothing that connects them and hardly can be named "clash"

...they have the fact I want to see them both in common

Lucy Dacus has nothing to do with Big Thief? You sure about that?

The poster obviously accidentally linked to the wrong post and meant to respond to the previous one.

I'd understand his argument if this was a bigger festival but considering how it relies on variety and acts that usually don't come around to play here I don't see his point. Artists don't have to similar for them to be considered a clash if it we're taking in consideration the fact that most people that come to this festival already have a musical taste that covers several genres, which goes back to my previous point. You could also argue about how some of these artists are similarly relevant whereas you have times where no one that really catches your eye seems to be a bother timeline wise

I’m not defending the point, just pointing out the mistake.

my bad, I was replying to him through you but my point is stated nevertheless

[n=Nowheretohide]

Lucy and Big Thief is the only real clash from all numbered in that post so my point still stand....its impossible to see every artist at the festival.....

[Suggestives]

I'm fairly happy with that. Flows nicely on the Thursday and Friday, with a few clashes to contend with on the Saturday. 

Feels really close now - anyone heard any hints of happenings on the Wednesday evening?

[sgreen7643]

Looks like the weather is going to go from mid twenties to 16/17 just for the festival ? 

(at least no rain at the moment though)

[young_contra]

Kali Uchis cancelled, guess she wants to catch Interpol live

Wednesday evening much more low key this year then.

I would have thought Base to be a bit small, but perhaps they're not expecting too many folk to bother ?

 

[young_contra]

here's hoping the rain won't be much of a bother!! hyped

We managed to head to this last night. 

Thought it was a brilliant festival - really well organised and laid out in a great setting Best toilets I’ve ever seen at a festival - especially given that this was the end of day 3 - & virtually no litter. Reusable cups worked well.

Very expensive drinks, but once you’re in you just tend to roll with it, & that’s not so bad when it’s just an evening festival rather than all day.

although I had the app I struggled a bit with the layout & it took us a while to find Neneh Cherry up at Pull&Bear. Even the staff seemed to have no idea where it was!

i really enjoyed The Viagra Boys, Kete Tempest & Neenah Cherry. Sadly, Erykah Badu was so late on stage that we gave up! 

Definitely prefer this to Nos Alive in Lisbon - more of a festival feel. Really nice.

(it was freezing though - we had to run home for more layers - I’ve been warmer at midnight at a muddy Glastonbury!)

I LOVED this year's edition. I was pretty skeptical at first of my enjoyment but this was my favorite edition by far and I've been attending since 2015. So packed, so well organized and smoothly operated. It was a joy to see myself feasting on so many good artists without caring about who is headlining or not. Cant wait for next year already.

Had a great first time at this festival! Well-planned, well-organised, pretty location, nice festival vibe. We were caught sort of unprepared for the weather though.

Highlights: Solange, Jarvis Cocker, Aldous Harding, Sons of Kemet, Rosalia. No big disappointments for me, though I didn't get the supposed magic of James Blake's gig. Maybe it was just too late, with me being tired and so on. Speaking of late, is Erykah Badu always late? That was the third time I've seen her, I think, and she's always half an hour late or so.

That's Erykah Badu, pretty much. TBH I really didn't care for her set, I saw her after yves tumor and it felt like a jam session with a big ego trip on her part but oh well. 

My highlights are solange, big thief and nina kraviz

? maybe water was expensive, but i don't know which festival gives you 0,5L beer for less than 5 EUR....and some food was very cheap 

 

this year i found music less attractive (my opinion)....never saw a concert at nos stage...

probably next year i won't go for early birds, but wait for the first names...

 

my highlights: Modeselektor, David August, Jarvis Cocker,  Fucked Up, Viagra Boys, Tommy Cash, Courtesy, Helena Hauff, Nina Kraviz
