PS - I'm taking being called 'lad' by a 25 y/o as a positive start to my Friday! Jeeeze I can't be assed with being down the front anymore that ship sailed a long time ago. I prefer a good centre spot between the middle and back where I'm able to observe everything that is going. Being in the action can be great but there's something incredible about being able to take it all in Infront of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I think I'm the youngest when I go to gigs and I'm 25 but oh well. If the gig bangs, the gig bangs. Billie for the people! It's weird, I'm absolutely not self-conscious about it at all. Went to Magic Gang last year and felt bloody ancient, but was in the middle of the bounce with everyone else and loved it. But something about this one I just feel like I'd be, I dunno, intruding. Odd really. 5 minutes ago, Woffy said: When you next see your friend tell him to have a bloody word with himself. Jeeeez! Yeah, that fella's missing a few of the internal control systems that stop normal people from saying stuff. Bloody liability.

As per previous, my self-consciousness has diminished massively with age and I love being bang in the middle of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Andy Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Wow, just discovered her after sampling bits and pieces from everyone from the 1st Glastonbury announcement. I didn't expect a teenager who is hip with the kids to be my favourite new name from the initial lineup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Listened to the album yesterday and watched the Coachella set this morning. I wondered how her soft, breathy style was going to translate live but they managed to make it feel intimate, maybe because of the dark and the excellent set production. What stage is she on at Glastonbury? Can't see it working in the daylight on the Pyramid, probably more suited to high up on the John Peel or Other Stage, similar to Lorde in 2017. Was good though, think she's definitely 2019s female breakthrough act Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisco Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Really like her album, will try and catch the Coachella set. Just found a little bit though where she seems to forget all the words to one of her songs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted April 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Yeah Billie will work best in the dark. It’s a difficult one to place. I don’t know if they’d give her an other sub slot just yet. But if you put her in the JP you won’t be getting anywhere near that thing it will be overflowing. My best bet is she’l probably sub or headline the JP and it’l be a packed set. According to the Coachella Reddit apparently she got one of the biggest crowds of the night.

It’s easy to forget that she’s a 17 year old girl and her first time at coachella is playing on a big stage with one of the biggest crowds of the day.

Pitchfork shared a live stream of her set on Facebook earlier and some of the comments attacking her appearance and stuff (mostly from middle aged men) are pretty horrible. I'm not even a big fan but surely if you follow pitchfork you must have some understanding of her music and what's she's about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of men just don’t like women and if they see a young girl on the rise to being successful they wanna cut that shit pretty quick.

kaytee... Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Definitely more excited to see her now after seeing the Coachella set. Headlining the nme tent (is it even called that anymore ?) at R&L is a bad call given the size of the crowd she's bound to get there. Glasto I'm not too sure, other stage maybe but the same visuals would work better in the dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay89 Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Looking at tracklist, she played ‘bellyache’ and ‘ocean eyes’ from previous album. Given she won’t change the setlist, I’m there at the front! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyoung Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 More and more hyped for this set by the day. They just played You Should See Me In A Crown in the build up to Liverpool Vs Chelsea on Sky Sports.

Keithy Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Bit of a weird tweet from Garbage tbh As far as I can tell, most people are losing their shit because she's released a cracking debut album ??♂️ Don't think anyone is sexualising her or anything, so not entirely sure what's creepy.

Suppose it depends what they have seen. I haven't seen anything to suggest creepiness, most people just discuss her music whether they like it or not.
