He’s the only headliner I’m really hoping comes back for 2021. Yeah at least one has, the OFF Festival in Poland. I'm sure it'll be the same headliners again. 3 hours ago, SweepingTheNation said: Tempted to start a Clashfinder for these regardless. Will they be showing the football?

Dancers Stand Very Still Posted August 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Nuha Ruby Ra wins Rising! Well done to her! I was lucky enough to catch her super early at the Village Underground (in a stellar line up alongside Meatraffle, Squid and Warmduscher) early in the year and she was hugely engaging impressive. Still a bit of a surprise to me though as I assumed The Lounge Society were hot favourites. What do people think so happen with there being two Rising winners in 2021? Obviously both can't open Mountain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who are in London, Nuha Ruby Ra is playing at the Windmill on 8th September - one of their social-distanced indoor trial gigs alongside The Rebel: https://www.windmillbrixton.co.uk/events/2020-09-08-the-rebel-residency-2020-night-number-2-the-windmill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting! We had a similar discussion at the beginning of the thread for this year as he had similar dates. We came to the conclusion that (1) we did not want him (lol) and (2) probably too big/expensive for Green Man in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lessthanwill1 Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 I’m camping in the Breacon Beacons next week and am planning a visit to the GM site, Crickhowell and a walk up the mountains behind the main stage while I’m there. Does anyone happen to know whether you can visit the site? Is the Glanusk estate open to the public? If anyone knows the area well, please do let me know your favourite walks/restaurants/pubs etc. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancers Stand Very Still Posted September 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Not sure on that, Will, but enjoy! Seeing this thread light up reminded me that I forgot to post a review of Nuha Ruby Ra, this year's Rising winner. I caught her for the second time at the Windmill in Brixton a couple of weeks ago. Some of the energy of her live show was definitely lost given her usual propensity for performing amongst the crowd for long spells. I think I probably enjoyed her set on this occasion slightly less, on that basis, but she seemed to have added more depth in the intervening 9 months. Her potential shone through and she surprised me with one song which could easily draw comparisons to Jehnny Beth in haunting ethereal delivery. Another had a beat (from a machine and 1 guitarist) which could at times be mistaken for a pysch-punk collective of the ilk of King Gizzard or Goat. Definitely interested to see how she develops in the years between now and her Mountain Stage opening slot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweepingTheNation Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Fiona Stewart is quoted in this piece, talking about the likelihood of rapid tests and temperature checks to ensure GM goes ahead: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/oct/04/music-festivals-plan-for-phased-return-in-2021-after-covid-wipeout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rug568 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) Temperature checks have been shown to be ineffective in picking up the disease. Unless they can have rapid onsite testing cheaply on site/a vaccine I think it will be very difficult for festivals to go ahead Edited October 6, 2020 by rug568 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear. Was looking forward to seeing her. We should start a new thread and list who has re-scheduled their tours around GM dates.
