      141

Is this not just one show he's doing in a run of multiple consecutive dates? Can't imagine Glasto will be any more important to him than the other shows he's doing before and after. 

Yeah this. I really don’t think he’s gonna see this as a particularly big deal or anything anything. Don’t think he did anything special or brought out any huge guests for Coachella so don’t imagine he will here either.

I doubt Dre will show up unless he's got any reason to be in the UK that weekend - would love to be proved wrong on that though.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Jorja there now she's seemingly involved in his new project and would be fitting as it's on UK soil, guess we can wait and see who's on the album...

I’m not sure, Glastonbury is world famous in a way only Coachella can match. It wasn’t just another gig to the likes of Jay-Z, Beyoncé or Kanye.

The way that those 3 didn't just phone it in does say something.

Sure but Kendrick has more of a preceding reputation for phoning in performances, right? Plus his form for not allowing sets to be broadcast nor photographers in the pit.

Mass reply... But yeah my biggest concern with Kendrick is that it’s going to be a phoned in performance. I don’t think he will bring out any guests (especially since this will be a third night on the trot gig for him).

I really don’t think he’s the type to bring out guests. Maybe Jorja at a push.

Isn’t it the first night of three in a row?

Yeah sorry first night. Still it doesn’t give me hope there is a big stage production.

I think he’ll either be on good form for all of his shows or they’ll all be phoned in. I agree with the sentiment that he won’t necessarily treat Glasto as anything special.

I feel optimistic that he’ll put on a banger of a set, though. He’ll be fresh on the new tour with new material. His show at Leeds 2015 was one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to, even though it wasn’t anything special production wise. On the other hand, his headline gig at Leeds 2018 was average at best even though the production was huge.

Yeah I think there won’t be any tricks up his sleeve but he’ll have a good, receptive crowd in front of him and he’ll feed off that. It’ll be like Stormzy, with fewer frills but better songs.

Guests can sometimes be the low point in a set anyway. Not that Dre would suck the atmosphere outta the place like Justin Vernon or Tricky but not really hankering for, say, Future to run out from side stage.

Is that his normal time? Hm, thats a tad disappointing. 

Theory seems to be that Panic! At the Disco were paired as a ‘co-headliner’ with him at Reading/Leeds due to his current setlist only being 1 hour 15 and so not long enough to be a stand-alone headliner. Might’ve changed for the new tour, but probably not if he was happy to stick to such a short time last time round.

Seems from the Reading set  that he was already shaving 10+ minutes off the 1hr15 set length.

Aye it was little over an hour in total. I think his Coachella set was a bit longer, though.

Really? Stormzy only did 75 mins?

Yeah. The full set was on YouTube but looks like it's been deleted now.

    • Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.   
    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band.
