Thom Yorke 2019

Yeah the Suspiria soundtrack went down well and the new album is excellent as well so I guess that’s raised his profile slightly. West Holts headliner seems like a good fit. It’s him and Nigel Godrich usually and they won’t do any Radiohead stuff. He has plenty of solo material to fill a full set anyway. He’d probably have a huge crowd until all the morons realize he isn’t going to play Creep and go somewhere else.

I left a bit early when I saw them in Manchester last year. But I've watched a few recent You Tubes and it looks like it's easier to listen to. So if I get a ticket I might go to see him.

None of Radiohead seem to like the UK at the moment, for some reason.

Who does like the UK at the moment tbf...

Thom on West Holts is the kind of amazing set that would be eaten alive by clashes and I’d regret missing it.

So we can pretty much confirm Thom for this; can’t we? ?  His Roskilde/Opener shows line up perfectly for Glasto.

If he's doing festivals around the time then it certainly bodes well, and with Anima he's finally got a solo album under his belt that would actually interest me to see live, although as he's probably a stage headliner or nothing he'd undoubtedly just get lost amongst some clash - can't imagine many scenarios where he'd be my #1 choice to finish a night with, personally.

I can’t imagine many scenario’s where I’d skip him.

Saw him at Down The Rabbit Hole this year and is was fantastic. Probably the best festival performance I’ve seen all year. And I’ve been to quite a few festivals this year.

I stumbled across Tamino at Rock Werchter this year - that new band, Colin Greenwood's in . I'd just finished watching The 1975, on this massive stage and I was hanging around The Barn Stage. I was refilling my water bottle and I looked up and there was this band on one of the really big fancy screens, they have there. So I sauntered over, because they sounded really good. I watched the whole set,  on this screen, while wandering around sitting in the shade and that. It was over 30C and they had these weird, misty, water cannons. Then I noticed the inside of the Barn Stage enclave, as I looked in, to my surprise and utter astonishment, there was Colin Greenwood from Radiohead!!! Playing his Bass guitar!!!!

If he's playing then I need to pray to all the gods that the resales go well for me! Wasn't there a rumour some weeks back he's headlining West Holts?

Yes there was! Ah lads I really hope it happens next year, I was sickened when he wasn't any of the TBAs this year.

Don't think he'd be too precious about a headline slot on any of the stages.  I saw him solo at Latitude a few years ago when he did a 'special' Sunday lunchtime set (which may still be a 'thing' at Latitude, for all I know).  He was on really good form then too.

Could be perfect for a similar 'special 50th' slot somewhere on site?

Did you see his secret set at Latitude 2015? Was just after his surprise guest appearance with Portishead.

No, stopped going to Latitude after 2014.  It was getting a little bit too "East Anglian Sixth Formers post A-Level party time" for this old man!

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
