Having heard the 2 new songs that will be on the new album I think I’m 100% certain he will headline next year.    The new album will be huge.    He really is rather special.

So much wrong with this. 1. Had to look it up as I've never heard of this 'abuse survivor's anthem' thing but TikTok isn't everything, seems likely you're massively exaggerating. 2. Those ly

OK, finally got round to giving this guy a proper blast. Listened to both albums last night, then re-visited tracks off both. 

My Friday night was already a clashterfuck (like many others people's!), now I'm pretty sure Fender has propelled himself to my '100% must-see' list.

My Bonobo then sprint to Paul Heaton might be dead in the water. The jury is out.

Sam vs Bonobo is a complete nightmare.

I'll be at Fender, but man, after seeing those RAH shows I'll be gutted to miss Bonobo.

Apparently he was all over the Saudis buying Newcastle as well. Hopefully we’ve now heard the end of him being celebrated as a ‘lefty icon’.

Don’t know if he ever was. ‘Voice of the working class’ maybe, which is not the same thing these days

Setlist for support Killers set. He hasn't changed his set all tour. I'm a massive fan but I find this a bit shit tbh. More and more bands seem to stick to the exact set all tour. Even this cut down set is the same running order with omissions. Also he chooses weird choices. He has far far better songs than, Mantra, Spice and Howdon but he's played these 3 songs every single gig ni the same order. Not playing Hypersonic Missiles at a support slot in a stadium is also fucking moronic. 

I expect this exact setlist in this order plus, surely Hyper Missiles. Don't expect any other surprises.

I sold my Finsbury Park ticket as I didn't want to watch the same exact set again for the 3rd time this year.  (I am a huge fan by the way)

I like Mantra a lot, but have no love for Spice or HADQ, which seem to be his songs to get the mosh pit going.

But dropping HSM, Saturday, Dead Boys and That Sound (which hasn't made much of an appearance lately anyway) is weird. If he's going to rip a page from the book of Springsteen, I think he can also mix up his set-lists like the Boss always does.

Completely agree with all the comments on his setlist choices - bizarre.

Hypersonic Missiles, Saturday and Dead Boys were my favourites along with Seventeen and Spit of you when I saw him recently.

Love Mantra but would drop it from the Glasto set, along with Spice and HADQ, and put the 3 above back in and we’re all good!

Although to be fair HADQ only takes up 2 minutes and is fun.  My 12 year old son will be fuming if he doesn’t play it - he spent the next few days after the gig singing in a Geordie accent  “Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah,  Keep your distance, I said woah, woah, woah, woah, That's less than two f***ing meters”. Was funny at first but got a bit annoying 😂

Play God out as well? I also don't know why Paradigm was dropped after one show. It's a huge stadium song.

I can cope with keeping HADQ as it's 2 mins. But leaving out Dead Boys and Hypersonic missiles and Play God etc. WTF?

Here's what I would choose for Glasto....Hit after hit with the odd fan favourite (The Borders/ The Dying Light)

Dead Boys

HADQ/ Saturdays (I don't like either but crowds do)

The Borders

Get You Down (if time)

Play God

He did 40 mins maybe.

The lack of big hitters like play god, hypersonic missiles and dead boys is the key issue with his killers support set - everyone was basically just sat there waiting for 17 going under

Agree with what people are saying. A huge support slot and leaving out some of his biggest tunes. Although probably wanting to showcase more of his new material, get the B sides dropped to make way for the big hitters. 
 

Saturday and Hypersonic Missiles (last two tunes) at TRNSMT last year were incredible. Entire crowd in the palm of his hand. Utterly idiotic to drop them for Pyramid sub slot IMO.

Everyone seems to forget about 'that sound' great tune. One if his first... 

I'm going to be disappointed if he just plays his newer stuff. You don't do that shit at festivals you play your hits... people will pay for your gig to hear new stuff

      2027 Headliners

      By Suprefan · Posted

      Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha

      Keep in mind those crowds were full of teenagers. Glasto aint full of teenagers. Theres no way she could demand headline and get it because they got other acts to give the slot to who deserve it with a bigger catalog. Reading/Leeds would headline her cause its still LN.  If the fest was struggling its Other headline. But a 3rd down Pyramid is likely the landing spot. Itll go down like the Camila Cabello performance pretty much.
