New albums great, lots more stood out on first play compared to WWD. Nothing really screamed Headliner material there but I'm still gunning for them to do it at some point so we don't have another tedious Killers argument. 

Syrup was the standout track for me.

Bring on part 2.

I feel like there werent any filler songs on it, like there was with WWD. Liked every song first listen this album. 

Think the headline bangers come from pt 2

One listen in and I love it. Caught me first time round unlike WWD, which I did grow to like. 

 

Standouts for me are In Degrees, White Onion and Sunday.

White Onions, Sunday, Cafe D Athens are my standouts. In Degrees might grow on me.

That said White Onions would be much better without the Whoooas, let that fat riff do the work!

All connecting trains from Highbury delayed, getting a bus means I’ll probably miss the first few songs :(

Got to H&I, saw the train situation and got an Uber. Think it was the right call!

Back home, sweat washed off. Great night and BLACK GOLD is finally ticked off.

:( what time did you make it there in the end? 

Made it for the last bit of Mountain at my Gates, got in the pit for My Number.

Fantastic gig, made even better by the fact that I met Edd O’ Brian from Radiohead afterwards.

I’ve been to 192 gigs (or festivals) in the last decade. That may have been the best one of the lot.

I think that's a really, really tough thing to truly pin down, there are so many variables to take into account. Last night was excellent, but think I've had greater Foals gigs over the last 11 years. The Royal Albert Hall gig definitely up near the top of Foals.

Oh I just meant gigs in general! Only my 7th time seeing Foals. And it’s totally a personal thing, so I can understand if people would disagree with me! 

Nonetheless, the show was incredible!

Ah good, didn't miss much then! 

Sweet way to end it... whereabouts did you meet him?

    • 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. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
