Yeah doesn’t seem to have made the splash I’m sure she/her label were hoping for and dropped off pretty quickly. Here’s hoping single #2 fairs a bit better. I doubt she’s on track for a flop album but Houdini didn’t get things off to the best start. 

Her dance moves in the video are better than the song it's self and that tells you everything as she isn't the best mover. 

Had she not been set to headline next year, I don't think she'd have got it later. There are acts that sell tickets quicker than she does in the UK easily that wouldn't get that headline spot.

Have had a soft spot for Dua Lipa since I saw her on the Friday afternoon in 2017 in John Peel (is that now being called a different name?) while waiting for The Lemon Twigs! 

Houdini isn't very good but I think working with Kevin parker and his pal Tobias is maybe a risk if you're looking for a nailed on hit. Dance the Night is a monstrously huge song however, deservedly so imo, and another impressive writing credit for Mark Robson - I had assumed his days of big songs were behind him.

@northernangelwho are the acts you think would shift more UK tickets than Dua Lipa at the moment? Am interested.

Think people are in for a shock how that song is going off at G 🤣

I'm tempted to go just for that song. Not that I like it but I always makes me laugh when it gets an airing at the match. It's just so odd that it's been added to the cannon.

I think she's equally as baffled tbh but it's good to have something more upbeat to play.

I can see a mass exodus after it's been played.

    • Plenty of good stuff this month. Very difficult choice, but I'm going with some of those I've listened to most (the sunny weather may also have been influential)...   1. The Coral - 388 2. Kurt Vile - Philadelphia's Been Good to Me 3. The Lemon Twigs - Look For Your Mind!   Others I've been enjoying... Laurie Anderson's live album, Broken Social Scene, Pigeon, The Black Keys, etc
    • Yesterday was was Primavera is all about and a reminder of why I come back every year. I saw 9 acts, very diverse in terms of genre and vibe, and most of them were great.  Highlights:   The Cure - have wanted to see them for years. Finally caught them and it was immaculate. Robert Smith's vocals at his age are incredible. The band sounded exactly like the albums which is impressive. 2.5 hours with basically no filler somehow.  Viagra Boys - what a front man! So much energy. Non stop moshing. Sound was great, vibe was top notch. Again 10/10 for me.  Rilo Kiley - basically what pipan said. Not a huge crowd but nice vibe, good sound. Different from the other acts I saw.   I also enjoyed the late night electronic stuff with Aurora Halal and KI/KI being fun. Caught some of Skrillex before Aurora Halal and it was cool in it's own way but not really my thing so we left.
