This is all a bit weird. Dave seems genuinely happy to be there but clearly high as a kite! 

Think it's his first performance since Taylor died, Paul actually replaced Taylor on a song for Concrete and Gold and they've long been close friends so I think this is much more about a friend helping a friend in a time of need to rebuild confidence than anything else. He's probably not high but absolutely overwhelmed

Right yes you are. From that perspective it’s absolutely lovely.

Yeah, just finished reading Dave’s book and he’s clearly good friends with Macca, not just ‘stage’ friends

Dave Grohl is clearly a lovely guy. So is Macca. But lovely does not a good set make.

It's not like the Foos covered themselevs in glory in 2017. Lots of bullshit breaks, overly eulogising to the crowd for hours, no flow to the set.

Can't disagree more. The crowd loved every minute of their 2017 set

    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
    • We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.
    • The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
