Emily interview

i think it's a fab booking, I'd love to see her but I'm thinking she's probably Sunday and I have always wanted to see The Cure at Glastonbury (and wouldn't miss Macca if it's the other way around Sat/Sun). However, against The Cure she'll get a massive massive crowd (I wonder if in lieu of a high-up Pyramid spot, she was promised she wasn't up against Macca) and I'm sure it will be one of those sets talked about for eons after like her 2011 was. 

For those on the past few pages saying "I don't know of her", I think I previously shared this article on here earlier this year when it came out, but it's one of the best things I've read on her and a good primer to find out all about here.

The Archandroid album is full of pop belters

Also, here’s a bit of the last time she played West Holts

 

 

 

Thanks for this Mardy. Amazing! Amazing performance. A total Glastonbury moment right there. I was watching Elbow so missed this. Which I don't regret but also do. If she clashes with Macca (if he plays), I'm watching Macca. If she clashes with Stormzy or The Cure (if Cure play) then I will have some serious thinking to do...!

Does she still have a big band?  Part of the magic of the 2011 show was the scale of it - like an old sixties soul revue taken through a timewarp.

Doesn’t sound like it, but Simon Price was full of it

I saw her in a tent at Coachella she was so good, played an extra 10 minutes and crowd surfed too. I'd have some thinking to do for whoever I think.

Looking at setlists gutted to see that only tightrope is getting played regularly off archandroid . 

Where are faster, dance or die, and Cold War? Absolute bangers 

Appreciate she is touring her new album but the setlists look short too.  

Do we think she would roll out the tour setlist or get a bit longer for WH headliner? 1h15 - 1hr 30 maybe?

Boomers on Glasto Facebook, pissed on sherry, thrashing shirtless about their giant detached houses and screaming to their spouses about Janelle Monae being booked instead of Richard Ashcroft.

Are they the parents who can't control their kid's parties? You know, the entitled snowflakes v the gammon.

This could become something, a film about different musical tastes, I'm think efestiphenia as a working title.

Oh wait....

So, is it most likely it's this Tipi field directly above the Park that's going to be moved to create more space, as opposed to the main Tipi fields?

No. i think it's the other main (hired) tipi field as this is the one next to the BBC studio. Be interested to see where they go. Have stayed in the tipis a few times and one of the main draws was the great location.

Hard to say really. She said “the park has got something new next to it where the tipis previously were, really near to the BBC presentation area, so there gonna be a whole area there”. Could be either, the main Tipi area is more substantial for an all new area but then the other Tipis are nearer the Park.

I’d go for the main Tipi area.

    • Yesterday was another brilliant day of music for me. Some highlights:  My Bloody Valentine - absolutely loved it! Maybe my main festival highlight. I felt submerged in the music with all the layers and distortion. It becomes hypnotic almost as it progresses. Not as loud as some thought it might be, but it didn’t need to be. The visuals added a lot too. During the noise part of You Made me Realise, I was basically in a trance staring at the visual tunnel or whatever it was on screen. Amazing experience. Little Simz - as she mentioned at the start, you’re guaranteed a good time with her. Great performance just like in 2022. Zero complaints. The little DJ section wasn't something I expected but was cool. Kneecap - I had a blast but at this point in the night I was at my most intoxicated let's say, so I don’t remember it as clearly as I'd have liked to!    The xx - The sound for this was perfectly balanced (at least where I was) and the band were great. Lots of talkers, but with the crowd size and being kind of far back, it's to be expected. Intro was one of my favourite moments this year. Big Thief - really good live performers. The lead singer has a lovely voice. This was a nice chill way to kick off the mordor gigs for me.  
    • I've been attending Primavera every year since my first one in 2017 & it's always been my favourite week of the year, but I think things have changed.   Firstly, the site just feels too busy in this current set-up. I'm sure it was a lot easier back in 2017-19 to get between the stages & then a good spot for the next one, but now you increasingly have to sacrifice parts of a set or miss them out completely to plan for later on. I wish we still had the Bits area over the bridge to spread everyone out.   But the main issue is the talking, it's always been here but this year it's been relentless & I just can't tolerate it any more. It's at every stage, and everywhere from the front to the back, there is no escape. Not focusing on nationalities, but a major dynamic now seems to be groups of people who are only focusing on their own good time & aren't interested if this affects anyone else. It seems essential that all members of the group are together at the same time, so it's people making telephone calls, people on shoulders waving phone torches, people barging through. It's alright, I'm only trying to watch The Cure here.   I will have a year away to think about it. I thought might give up completely but yesterday was a bit of a classic day after two unenjoyable ones. Adding Olivia Rodrigo to Baxter Dury, Gelli Haha, The XX, Gorillaz & Kneecap shows how good it can be, but as with everything, it's always the people that have the biggest impact.
