Yeah, I guess nothing has changed, the error was suggesting they were playing the main three days in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're clearly a pretty different band as to when I first saw them in Spring of 2018. Lots of new stuff and improv and notably no bmbmbm, Near DT MI and Years Ago. The additional sax and keyboard players were cool additions but Matt was definitely missed. I'm sure he'll be back for Primavera but the shows are definitely different to how they were 6 months ago, let alone longer. Easy to see why you've seen them so much, I would too given the chance. Incredible set and incredible musicians. Only about 5 tunes from schlagenheim but the new stuff sounded amazing. Looks like they're going a more jazz route with it. They're good enough musicians to anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I only listened to their new album on release day and then never went back to it but I've had it on A LOT over the last couple weeks - love it! Enjoyed their set in '15 too so I'll be there again (unless there's a bad clash). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news, Avalanches are now around. Be nice if they could be added and do a proper set, given they weren't able to do a live show last time.

Yeah, their 2016 show was a "live" DJ with 2/3rds of them... Honestly it was one of the bands i was most looking forward to and the only one i left early to go see other bands. It seriously felt like my kids were in the car just flipping between stations every 30 seconds - snippets of songs, but overall very underwhelming. You can listen to the full set HERE if you'd like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw them in Amsterdam sometime after the Primavera set and they were a lot more fun, but it was a smaller venue and the actual band. Primavera was just a visa screwup, not what they intended, and they had to beg/borrow to do anything at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they were a shambles at Field Day and no live setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConfidenceMan Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Avalanches also played Dublin around the time of Primavera set. Played 45-50 minutes and left. I remember people were really angry. It seemed they took a bit of time to find their feet when they came back. They are a band I loved so would definitely check them out if they were at a festival I was at. Not sure I'd travel to just see them though. Especially after these reviews!

ConfidenceMan Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 That's 2 decent (but not amazing) new tracks from the Strokes. Cautiously optimistic about the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted the below in another topic yesterday, but as you've just mentioned The Avalanches I thought I'd post it here too.... 13 hours ago, eFestivals said: I've just discovered 'Gimix' - which is apparently what the first album would have sounded like if they'd been able to clear all of the samples. I'm only 5 minutes in, but the interesting thing about it to me is that it's like how they were live when I saw them in 2001 - with stuff like Bob Dylan and Madonna included.

xxialac Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Also a couple of decent sized names will inevitably cancelled and be replaced. Bands like Ratatat, FKA Twigs, Future Islands have been added in the past as well as the Hidden half dozen which has got much stronger over the years The only bands definitively not playing are the ones not touring/available, expensive and with an entourage or playing a rival event.
