gfa Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 We were at Supergrass and walked off to see TLC, think our whole group regretted that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry bear Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 May sound nuts as he was obviously huge already, but I reckon demand for any future Macca dates will be immense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even their slightly contrived, not actually very good, dance routines are entirely endearing. When they each let loose, they’re actually great movers.

I actually remember the 2015 run of dates still have tickets floating around up until showtime. I can only assume I thought I'd catch him down the line as to why I didn't go - though it was more likely the fact he didn't come close enough to my patch to justify it.

Talcroft Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Surely Bicep have earned themselves some credit? (Haven't been back in the outside world yet to check, not allowed to work with the C word.) People knew their songs before but couldn't name them. Hoping that will change now.

Sam Fender. Lots of people asked me if I saw him. From people at work who are into him to my mum who had never heard of him. After the headliners, easily my most asked about act. Olivia Rodrigo. "There was a girl on called Olivia who was brilliant". I got that in work yesterday. A few other people who are into her asked me if I saw her cos of how good she was. Supergrass. Admittedly this is an age & demographic thing, but "Supergrass were mint weren't they?". Had that a lot. What about anyone else? Where do you work and what do you do?

BumJuice Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Another up for Confidence Man. A forty something, three 50+ and an 80 year old who saw the full gig blew them away! Hearing and seeing isolated tracks doesn't do them justice. All wanted to see them tour and just missed them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whisty Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 I don’t know but no tickets for the last two festivals and gradually pulled into the live streams this year in iplayer I had a great time with no queuing or long drops or crowd crushes or sleepless nights or …………😀 still want a ticket next time though 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So festival stock on the whole is 📈 My stock is also up this year, with only a handful of my group having a go at me or calling me a c*** during the festival. Compared to last time, I'm on the up. The guy in my local chippy was very impressed by my Glastonbury T-shirt. Shame it was the one from 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are already pretty big and still on that upwards trajectory. Headlining everywhere, sold out 1 night of ally pally straight away and probably will again when their next night goes on sale. Only a matter of time before they do Other! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In certain circles they're definitely already massive, their blog has been around soooo long. But my yard stick for really making it is if the girls at work (who listen to Heart FM) can name it. That's when you know you're big. People have recognised the songs for years. Hoping now they'll recognise the artist now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovelanegan Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Confidence Man are back with UK dates in November apparently! I was looking forward to Supergrass, thought it would be a nice opportunity for a sit-down, noddy head chilled hour or so. Didn't factor on a full-on dance party with everyone hugely into it, hit after hit, top-up-the-bloody-mary situation. Also maybe it's my age/hormones but my word those guys are aging like a fine wine 🤣 Self Esteem and Amyl were both brilliant, glad they're getting wider recognition.

MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Turnstile, IDLES, Amyl, Yungblud, all great energy and very good sets, altho IDLES are already pretty well-known by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergrass have to be one of the most consistent live acts out there. Have seem them 15 or so times over the years and they knock it out the park every time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
