Stoked about Metallica, I was dragged away by my entire group after five songs. Was very excited to go to Despacio and had an amazing time but I've never left a set I was enjoying anywhere near that much. First time I will have seen the rest.

Really sad I missed this one. The set list was perfect.

Wasn't it. They couldn't have chosen better.

How was is it so good? Best I have ever heard on pyramid of any act comfortably in 10 Glastos 

wish every other act could get it spot on like that

I adore that LCD set, I was worried it wouldn’t be what i remembered it to be but it really really is, I ditched my group to be at this and that didn’t matter. 
 

It is hands down the best live music I have been at and amazingly, despite how weird this year has been so far, I actually feel in the same frame of mind I got into when I was there live, which is sort of sad and happy at the same time, but good!

 

 Ok enough tequila now.

Fully expect that I'm gonna cop some flak for this but I was there, plus I've now watched The Cure back twice on screen and what I felt at the time still remains.

I like the Cure's big songs but not a diehard fan as such.

I watched the entire thing and I agree that the sound was pin sharp and best I've heard, and the light show and spectacle in the round was well produced.. The band were excellent musicians and clearly gave their all. They were far 'rockier/heavier' than I was expecting and was pleasurably surprised with that.

But.....

I nearly left halfway through the first section to go and see something else but was persuaded to stay. 

What was missing was the buzz, the people freaking out and going mad factor, the sense that I wanted to jump madly up and down and so on.

What there was in a crowd around me, left middle of the stage by the sound towers, was a crowd that actually thinned quite a bit during the first hour, everyone was just sort of jigging gently up and down, those that stayed were chatting away, and even those that were enjoying it were more just watching the performance than getting involved in it. Even the crowd reaction, cheers and applause was somewhat muted. Even now on iPlayer, shots of the crowd show them to pretty quiet and passive.

II had a sense that it was a technical tour de force and a spectacle but not a gut pulling 'moment' that others obviously felt.

Watched replays of it on screen and still find my attention wandering looking the lighting etc rather than getting an emotional reaction like LCD or some others. My group was split, some loved it, and some were ambivalent.

Having said that the encore was pretty good and went some way to negating what I thought was a turgid first section.

(mind you I felt the same about Radiohead's nurdling first bit when they headlined although that was better to watch on screen because at least you could see the band on the replays).

Bring on the outraged replies........

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
