As rumoured earlier in this thread, if Foals are to be the secret act at The Park at 5.30 on the Saturday what time is advisable to arrive given that I know from experience what is a relatively small field can fill up very, very quickly... I'd be gutted to miss this one!

Lot of people raving about Sons of Kemet, so I'll probably just go and catch them before, even though I wouldn't have otherwise.

Shame to miss Johnny Marr, but Foals will def be done if it turns out to be them!

I've just heard from a source quite a little bit removed, but should be good, that Foals are indeed playing the park.

I would have thought the organisers would want to keep park TBAs tight-lipped after the issues previously, and won't be crazy about how this is shaping up (if it is, indeed, them).

Guessing the thinking is Marr, Lizzo and Janet (plus the start of Liam) will keep the crowd down a bit

Ok so all I can get so far is that a friend has heard from someone working the festival that its definitely the Foals on the Park 6.15pm Saturday.... 

Make of that what you will... My friend wouldnt bullshit me so unless they are being wound up... who knows.

Neil already had info that Foals we’re playing Saturday and that’s before the gaps were shown on the park.  I’d say it’s safe to say it’s them

Foals are the TBA, not the Foals.

GOD DAMN IT, I HATE MYSELF.

If you do, where it says ‘title’ don’t write “Mr.”.

I once got a delivery to work. Where it asked for a "Name" I wasn't thinking and thought it meant a name for the address. As such a parcel arrived at the office (three floors, a few hundred people) addressed to someone called "Work". 

Still no idea how it found its way to me (although it had been opened so maybe it said in there somewhere).

I think Foals are a weird one - if it's common knowledge before the festivalit wont be as near as crazy as the killers/Radiohead etc was in that slot. I know they're talked about as headliners but I feel it's in the same way as Tame Impala are - a band with a sort of cult following and very few well known hits.  Out of my group of 6 going, 2 dont really know them, one is excited about seeing them and the other 3 of us can take or leave them. I dont think the whole site is going to be rushing over there - I can imagine it being busy especially if unrevealed beforehand just not as mad as if it was someone bigger

They certainly wont sway too many liam Gallagher fans to miss the start of his set

Could this make foals a shout for headlining next year? I saw them last night in Manchester and they have more than enough songs to do it. Certainly more hits than Killers. 

 

??

Kilkers have 4 top 10 hits and 13 top 40 hits. They have 5 no 1 albums and 7 top 10 in total.

Foals have no top ten hits and 3 top 40 hits. They also have 5 top 10 albums

I remember watching Foals sub the Other Stage in 2013. They were hands down the worst thing I saw that weekend. 

By all means, let them headline next year. They seem to be popular around these parts. And it's always nice to sample different stages for headliners.

5 top 10 hits if you count Crystal. ;)

Would be surprised if they did  ot do some kind of New Order/Joy Division cover. I will still be watching Hot Chip though. Seen Killers twice at V and found them a bit dull

I am gutted by the Marr/Foals clash.

Let’s be honest. Speaking as someone who prefers Foals to Killers personally that isn’t even close to being true.

    • Having done all three, Porto is lovely, very chilled but nowhere near as exciting as Barcelona (nor as many options). Bilbao BBK has charm but again not a patch on Barcelona really.   ps and the beer was 5.50, not 5, last year 😉 
    • Honest question and with the risk of getting slaughtered, do you feel people should stop the chatting on the entire field? When my group is in the front rows we surely keep the talking to a minimum and largely only about how great or bad the artist is. But surely on the main field when you are further back (lets say around the bars (200 meters from the podium) you should be able to have a conversation. If people are still annoyed about that I would recommend them moving up further.
    • I just genuinely think they don't understand technology and its felt like this since the invention of the internet.   Also see say a speech on a Monday saying we want to be a world leader in "this thing" then on a Wednesday another speech saying "this thing" is bad and needs to be banned/regulated out of existance.
    • My party again had an outstanding 4 days in Barca. We made the right call to leave the festival site early at about 10.30 on Thursday to get ourselves some excellent steaks in the city. I am with everyone that the organization should have been clearer about what is going on and also if you would like to get rid of some attendees open more exits, they sent us from gate to gate until we finally were able to get out. Biggest 'disappointment' was the beer price, a YoY increase from 5 to 6 is absolutely nuts!!! (i am living in Switzerland so me making this comment says something 🙂)   Top 10:   1. Men I Trust 2. Role Model (could have been first as well, what a great artist and great songs) 3. The XX 4. The cure (the last 90 minutes) 5. Gorillaz 6. MBV 7. Ninajirachi (another big miss of the organization, clearly on the wrong podium and wonder if Olivia's surprise set had something to do with that and they had to reschuffle late the Occident, Cupra and Port schedules) 8. NewDad 9. Big Thief 10. Annastashia      We did 3 years Barca now and for next year looking at the Porto or Bilbao festivals as an option. 
    • Personally if it was me now, I would be grabbing a green camping ticket with the knowledge closer when I've refreshed that I can still choose general if I want to....you can't do the opposite!    I would say if you are happy to watch your headliners and big bands further back to be able to see who you actually plan to later then yes it is fine. Its a much difference experience to any other festival especially food wise and camping surrounds.    Once you're in the arena as well you're not going back unless you've got a gap. If I go again I'll be going with the option of not trying to push the front and enjoying further back as you actually put too much pressure on it than the time take away can forget to enjoy other acts.
