Got to see him and Redman last year at Brixton. As a gig it was pretty shambolic but they played the bangers so got away with it. My advice would be to put no faith into Wu tang and go elsewhere But I've got nowhere else to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel bad for Public Enemy and De La Soul if they are support acts for the B team. Yeh me too. I'm not that fussed really, but my friend really wanted to see them, so he might be a bit gutted. I haven't had the heart to tell him yet ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're in London tonight so that's a chance to see who is there, it's never all of them and although Meth is a big miss it's not necessarily a gig ruiner.

She posted on her Facebook page that she was having to cancel all her European dates. I'm guessing a visa issue maybe. Super gutted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume because of the backlash from fans, rather than because he will be coming along after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Deltron set was one of the best live hip hop experiences I've had but it was a shame to miss De La Soul. Shit I saw that by accident. Was a great set. Had no idea who they were!

It's Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and Dan the Automater's weird cool afro-futurist side project and it was one of the best early afternoon sets I've seen at any festival ever.

One of the best hip hop gigs I've ever seen. A setup that understood that a huge factor to a gig of this nature is to be able to hear exactly the rhymes the rapper is performing. Something that is lost on the vast majority of venues. Del has such an awesome voice. Christ, the Wu gig I saw at Newcastle Academy didn't even appear to have them soundcheck the mics. They bundled out their bus an hour after they were supposed to come on, rapped ineligibly throughout the whole show, then scarpered away again.

Setting aside personal disappointment of a clash vs The Cure, it just isn't working for me. Wish people would stop mentioning who is and isn't suitable for the last night if Glastonbury, it's bumming me out and the festival is still weeks away!

I think by European Tour he means the current run of dates until late May. They're back in th US for a bit before Glastonbury and so I don't think the line-up will necessarily be the same. Obviously that could mean less of them turning up rather than more, but I don't think Method's absence just now means he definitely won't be on the farm.

Just hoped Kamasi would notch a win as the big jazz breakthrough of recent years. A visible slot could still do wonders for him, take him into living rooms across the country or in front of curious onlookers. Sunday at 8pm, it's more likely to be the already-converted. Anybody who does a belting performance at any time of day or night has a chance of being catapulted and more people will be likely watching at 8pm on a Sunday night.

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 I have also been an advocate for K-wash on the Pyramid with a big choir to wake the festival the fuck up, but it would be so early in the day it wouldn't be televised anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackHole2006 Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 So, I decided to give Jon Hopkins & Jorja Smith a fighting chance to see if my Friday night West Holts ritual can continue for another year. Mightily impressed by both of em. See you at the front middle folks x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
