Am I a fool for keeping the Thom dream alive.. usually the late additions are smaller than Thom, I think we can get him in one of two ways: 1. if they revive UnexpectedPrimavera from 2017 2. as a replacement for headliner/sub headliner that cancelled So we're allowed to dream, but don't get your hopes too high 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orens Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 The National's chances of playing another set (High Violet?) appear slim. Playing London (O2 Academy Brixton) on Monday-Tueday, 1-2 June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah with playing London Tuesday and Ireland on Saturday, there probably isn't quite enough time for two sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing London (O2 Academy Brixton) on Monday-Tueday, 1-2 June That is billed as "unique sets" which makes me hope that there are some songs in the rotation that are not so usual (Murder me Rachel, All Dolled up in Straps or Lucky You would be great.) I've seen them five times now and the last gig was fun for the new stuff, but the hits have become somewhat boring for me. A set that is build around Terrible Love, Mr. November, Fake Empire, Bloodbuzz and so on would have me questioning seeing them again, although being one of may favorite Bands ever. They could easily play a set full of b-sides and fan-favorites, but I'm afraid they'll play it safe. Also considering the IAETF stuff doesn't quite work without guests, I guess they'll cut that short.

Only because as far as I'm aware they haven't done two sets in a day before and nor has a major act at Primavera. Prince would have been up for it!

Unfortunately I'm fairly sure that their set will be 90-95% the same as the last two I've already seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other acts like Interpol and Volcano Choir (Bon Iver) have also done two sets but not same day as far as I'm aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConfidenceMan Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 The National now play: May 29 in Denmark, May 30 in Sweden, June 1 and 2 in London, June 4 in BCN, June 6 in NIreland, June 7 and 8 in Ireland, June 10 in Paris and June 11 in Switzerland. I think it's pretty unreasonable to expect a hidden/extra set in that run, even on the same day without the band being exhausted after. The current album worked well live with all the guest vocalists. It really reinvigorated what had become a tired performance over the last few years, I thought. If they keep the guests with them, it will be worth a look. If not, i might consider skipping it tbh. And, again, I say all this as a big fan but it's hard to get too excited since I've seen them so many times in the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah so much so. I don't see any way they can rearrange those names and I'm not having to make some seriously tough decisions. The Friday is the biggest day for me and my Clashfinder is already stacked without Brockhampton included. Jeez.

ConfidenceMan Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Fuming over the fake clash between Brittany Howard and Pavement, Sampa the Great and the National too... Also Earl Sweatshirt vs the Strokes, and Fontaines vs Caribou... But... a run of King Krule, Tyler and Chromatics to close it out would be magic! I know we're all in guess mode at the moment but a run of Maggie Rogers, Kacey Musgraves and Lana del Rey one after the other on the main stages makes a lot of sense to me. I don't see them putting Lana on before Beck but I think if they went: Maggie, kacey, Lana, Beck, Strokes and a closer, it would make a lot of sense.

FakeEmpire Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 I've taken the plunge and bought tickets - my first non UK festival. I'm sure this has been covered plenty of times before but what are your top tips for first timers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
