FloorFiller Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Still think they’ll be subbing the Pyramid myself, but a Other headline slot on the Friday would be amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FakeEmpire Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Vampire Weekend on the Pyramid last time was one of (perhaps THE) most disappointing crowd experiences I've ever had at a festival. We were in a relatively decent spot but it was just full of people waiting for THAT song. There were points where we wouldn't even hear the band because we were just surrounded by groups of people shouting amongst themselves as if the band were some annoying distraction. They all faced the stage and went mental for A Punk and then quickly turned around again and got back on with their own conversations once it had finished. I don't really mind a bit of chatter or whatever at festivals but this really was unbearable. Love them but I'd be giving them a miss if they're on the Pyramid again.

briddj Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Once met Ezra on the stairs of the Astoria 2, Vampire Weekend had gone to Frog nightclub there after the Kentish Town Forum gig earlier the night. A long-lost reference for the kids there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing about them headlining a stage other than the Pyramid is that (you'd think) it'll just be people who actually want to see them there.

Happens a fair bit at the Pyramid, especially that time of day and even more so on the Sunday! Really hope they headline Other on the Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y0ungtitan Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Always assumed they'd be Pyramid subs but yeah, would absolutely much rather they headline the Other one of the nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggins Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Agree that their Pyramid slot last time was extremely underwhelming crowd wise. Very spacious at the front too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
