2022 Must Sees

[Miyn]

I thought it was worth making a thread as everyone's had a bit of time to digest the line-up. There was a similar thread two years ago, and it was interesting to see who people were excited for. So stick your must sees here, or if you want you can put them in the suggested categories:

1) Who are your must sees this year? (Wouldn't miss for anyone)

2) Who would you really like to see? (Would only miss for must-sees and would be gutted to miss)

3) Who would you like to see clashes permitting? (Would really like to see, but wouldn't be heartbroken if clashing with ones above)

4) Who would you be happy to see if nothing else was on? (Wouldn't mind watching, but equally don't really care about missing)

I've basically nicked the ideas of the categories off dental from two years ago, so you can find the original post and topic here: 

 

[Hugh Jass II]

I’m in a small group this year so quite happy to just have a handful of must sees and just go with the flow. We all have broadly similar tastes so it’s not like anyone is going to get dragged to anything terrible.

Must sees: Kendrick, Simz, Macca, Ross.

Would like to see: Fontaines, Lorde, First Aid Kit, Noel G, Wet Leg

(PSB would be on this list but I have already accepted that they won’t win the clash with Kendrick)

[Earth_pig]

The waterboys.. fisherman blues 

[the wonderwhy]

Must sees: Big Thief, Mitski, Olivia Rodrigo, Phoebe Bridgers, St Vincent and Turnstile

Would be gutted to miss: Fontaines DC, Foals, Wet Leg, Holly Humerstone, Metronomy, Wolf Alice, Yves Tumor

Would really like to see: Avalanches, Bicep, Little Simz, Clairo, JAMC, Caroline Polachek 

Then there's a whole heap in the last category 

[LCDs Cowbell]

Must sees: Bonobo, Caribou, The Avalanches

 

Would really like to see: Bicep, Four tet,

 

Clashes permitting: Kendrick, Khruangbin,

 

[gfa]

must see - pet shop boys, caribou

gutted to miss (seen before but new acts are the priority) - glass animals, bicep, foals, easy life, noel

gutted to miss (new) - four tet, clairo, phoebe bridgers, inhaler

would like - kendrick, macca, declan mckenna

I'm very hesitant to put too much as must see just because a lot of them are at headliner time and i have no idea who will be where. Very likely i will be at foals for instance but they aren't a must see by any means

50/50 on Olivia Rodrigo. I liked the singles Brutal & Good 4 U, but the album stunk the place out. 

The rest, I have either no interest in or know nowt about.

A strong year for me. Decent amount of must see acts who hopefully won’t clash, plenty of acts I want to see and loads of strength in depth that should hopefully mean no big gaps.

The only things I know I'm definitely seeing are Billie and Macca.

The rest of the lineup I can give-or-take. I'm seeing Confidence Man in May, after 2 years of rescheduling but I'm not a fan of the new singles really.

Everything else is just going to be things my friends want to watch so I guess at the very least I don't have to worry about clashes.
