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?

    • Thanks so much - that's very helpful. Someone else mentioned getting a train from Loughborough to East Midlands Parkway, and then a festival shuttle from there to the site. I think they were then going to come back on the Skylink Derby to Loughborough - I assume this is because the trains don't run as late as the Skylink, otherwise they would just come back the same way they came?! Is the transport hub a long way from the main stage? Just wondering what time I would need to leave Linkin Park to be sure of getting a shuttle. As I say, I am sure it will all be clear on the day, even after a few beers! Just hope the rain stays away...
    • I really don't think they would put Olivia Rodrigo on Occident stage. If it was her, they would put her in earlier Mordor slot and move Big Thief or Little Simz to Occident.   Fontaines DC are more probable, but don't really match the hype. However, again, if the hype was real, the artist would end up in Mordor.   That being said, I would love to see Fontaines DC tonight.
    • After all the good advice on here I had a nice visit to the site earlier in the week.    Walked down from Pilton village to Hitchen Hill and down the footpath to the Wood by Woodies.    Really strange seeing the site empty of 100,000 people. There is far more hedges and woodland on the site than you remember when the festival is on. Can see the stone circle and some structures still up on site. And looks like Worthy View has some camping going on there during the summer too.   Lots was fenced off with electric fencing to help wth the cattle grazing. Is really amazing how they set up the site as its hard enough accessing the area by car and foot nevermind all the kit needed to set the festival up. As others said you can't walk the whole site but nice to see the site again after a few years away   Pilton is also a lovely village with a nice village hall shop and post office attached, and got to speak to some locals who told me a few tales of past festivals down the years. One house for sale there would be lovely to live in - if only I had £2 million going spare     
    • 6music just shared a video of all of Fontaines DC singing along to the Cure last night. It'll be them. Booooo    Olivia might get up for I Love You though...
