I was going to go to Justice but it wasn’t really what I fancied at the time. I think I saw metronomy in the JP instead. Late night DJ options were pretty shit that night too. Think we just sat somewhere and got waved. Yeh this Sunday wasn't great, we ended up watching 5 songs of Ed then moved over to justice who were great. Moved onto hacktivist in shangri la which was really fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as nikkic points out I'll just be at another stage! Still got my hopes pinned on the original plan of the Manics playing Friday night QOTSA vs Manics.. hope manics are on a different night. First potential clash for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as nikkic points out I'll just be at another stage! Still got my hopes pinned on the original plan of the Manics playing Friday night I need this to happen. And for it to be a clash with Billie and not someone else I really wanna see. Not too much to ask surely? Was it definitely the Friday Manics were down for? I know it was The Park, which would be absolute perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 Not bothered about Billie or QOTSA myself. Have my fingers crossed for Little Simz on West Holts for the Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedgeAntilles Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 I'd argue 2017 Saturday was even worse than Sunday in terms of options being thin on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Music Girl Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Saturday 2017 and Sunday 2013 both stand out to me as nights where I just wandered about a bit aimlessly. In both instances I should have just headed for a decent DJ somewhere. Edited September 8, 2021 by Zoo Music Girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it, one of my favourite Pyramid shows. The banter and cheese is part of the entertainment.

Ah the joy of hindsight! I honestly think that's the headliner fallacy, the idea that come that final slot you "should" be at one of the main stages having the time of your life. Every year I try not to fall for it, and every year I do the same bloody thing 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was about 11:30 from memory after the stages had closed down. Saw the first few songs from the Foos and couldn't stomach the hubris and the banter. Wandered off the long way via West Holts up to the Crows nest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 1 minute ago, Ddiamondd said: Yeah, ditto. The crowd were extremely in the mood for Dave's arsing around and enabled that extra layer of flab, moreso maybe than he usually could have got away with. A real case of crowd and headliner on the same wavelength. Could have done with an extra Breakout or Generator, but hey, it's fine. Extremely fun show. Think this is what frustrated me, they could have played Stacked Actors, Breakout, The One and Hey Johnny Park in the time they spent arsing around.

Didn't realise it was a thing. Thought they were brilliant and absolutely loved it. I completely lost our group of 8 between Other Stage and Pyramid...ended up following the wrong group of people, rather intoxicated obviously, and with zero phone battery. Soon snapped out of that when they stopped and I realised it wasn't my mates. Watched the whole gig chatting to folk around me (including the group who had the dreaded "Monday is Coming" flag). Anyway. Great show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
