TomViolence Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 JP and WG. Both sets were superb but JP edged it for me. Planned to see the Rabbit Hole set too but we were all shattered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddRon Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 was rather frustrating that all their sets were in smaller venues or at awkward times, when they replaced Sam fender on John peel I thought I could see them in a venue that wasn't going to be stupidly packed but it clashed with Mac. couldn't see them in left field because of Miley clash, couldn't attend the super late Sunday night one because of a early coach, the only one I could attend was Williams green which I despise for aways being full which it was, glad I got to see them but it was from the outside of a tent that I tried to avoid as much as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatterdemalion Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 I thought it took them a while to get into their stride during the John Peel set. It seemed to click for them during Too Real, from then on the rest of the show was fantastic. Perhaps it was a bit of nerves on the bands part, or maybe a lot of folk in the crowd weren't too familiar with them and it took a while for them to get what the band are about. I saw a bit of them at Left Field as well but I was off to the side because I was making an early escape for BC Camplight at WG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendan84 Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 3 times Park friday, leftfield and rabbit hole Sunday night 3am Last act and great way to end the festival. Definitely the band of the weekend. Surprised they weren't on John Peel to begin with but a great replacement Met the lead singer in John Peel in the crowd watching Goat Girl before their gig with the singer from Shame!

tdm. Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Yeah I did all 4...was at the front for all 4 as well. The gigs got smaller but also better. Rabbit Hole was an absolute belter and well worth staying up for. Best band of 2019 for me so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Was the Rabbit Hole busy? We always have to curtail Sundays due to the roadtrip back on a Monday. We were in two mind at 2am at Williams Green but the hike across and back too our tent was putting us off. They're on at Deer Shed in a couple of weeks, and I'm getting tickets for the Academy tour.

Sasperella Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Just once, in Leftfield. Loved it ? And somehow managed (more by luck than judgement) to get the crew to congregate there. Wish I'd have seen them in the JP too! Also stayed in Leftfield for Algiers....such an empty tent for their set in comparison, but I feel I should say that they were also awesome!!

Homer Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 I stood out the back of the rammed WG tent after Snapped Ankles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losing my hair Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Saw them in WG - that was hot - and was on my way to see them in Leftfield when I got distracted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y0ungtitan Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Saw them from outside the tent at WG (missed the first 10 minutes anyway) and then their Rabbit Hole set. Missed that they were announced for the John Peel, otherwise I probably would've seen them -> Pond with Hozier on the Saturday rather than what I did, which was Mac Demarco -> last half of Pond with Fontaines on the Saturday.

I was very close to the front in the rabbit hole and it seemed rammed. Even after the gig I tried getting out and it was a bit of a struggle. It was immense. Great end to the festival.

T-Mouse Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Waited all weekend to see them at the rabbit hole at 3am Sunday. They did not disappoint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blutarsky Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Just JPT for me, unfortunately I was hungover to fuck and about to go and work an 8 hour shift, so no dancing - didn't enjoy it as much as I should have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike46 Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Twice for me - William’s Green and then the Rabbit Hole, which was wild. absolutely one of my highlights - got tickets to Citadel primarily to see these again on Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Sir Robin Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 JP, Left Field & heard a bit of them outside WG (preferred JP as plenty of room to jump about). Bloomin’ marvellous. Annoyed, although not surprised, that their November London show is sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
