They won't cancel surely? What would bookies odds of it being cancelled be?

I think not, personally. From the footage in London, plus what people have said who were there, I'd suggest he's had it for a few days already. There's only Glasgow left in the UK after Glastonbury, then they have five days before they head to Poland.

I have also got the blinkers on though, as an obsessive fan who would be heartbroken if they pulled out

rumours going around that Alex was so f**ked up from drink/drugs that they needed to call a doctor in. Security guard for their london show passing the info around. Reckon Laryngitis is a cover story 

Sounds like rubbish, I read a few posts of people who attended last night saying his voice sounded a bit croakier and he was struggling with some of the songs.

I also (admittedly, a huge AM nerd) don't think Alex would be the sort to ruin a show through drink and drugs. He's been pissed on stage a few times, but he never seems to have been particularly publicly/noticably affected with drugs. 

He could be a balls to the wall heroin addict for all we know, but it would be a big surprise to me

I think his days are done with the gear but did anybody attend Leeds Festival 2014?

Agreed - as a fellow AM nerd!

in all honesty, and just my opinion, he seems a lot more with it than he has in the past I.e. TLSP gigs, so it makes it even less likely that would be the reason.

If you weren't planning to watch AM or even have any other headliner then it certainly is

Yep. I mean this affects the back field chair crowd more than anything. Theyll actually have to stand up and move around for once if they dont like who it is if things change.

One of our group is on the fence about seeing them based on this performance - I hear he was an absolute mess

Just watched a few videos on YouTube and his voice didn't even really sound that bad. Maybe if you were there for the whole thing you would have picked up on it but it sounded fine to me.

Kelis would go off, if the criteria is ‘acts playing on the Friday who don’t look like Laurence Llewelyn Bowen’. She could even bring out Bill Murray for a duet in the encore. 

She's already overbilled as it is!!

Having headliner issues it seems. Not that funny now is it.

Nobody on here is that fussed about AM i think, more just enjoying the drama. they just did a massive stadium tour here so anyone who wanted to see them (thats not Irish!) has already seen them.

    • I'm surprised they risked it, especially after nearly missing their Glasto 22 slot under similar circumstances  I did see someome say Ellie didnt sound as strong as recently but I'm guessing playing 3 shows in 2 different continents doesnt help that    On the topic though I can definitely see them doing a Fontaines and having a break over winter before a few final Clearing shows next summer 
    • That's fair on WA - I did recall people thinking Fontaines would take this year off before this was announced.    On the subject of Wolf Alice, they did Lollapalooza in Chicago on Saturday then Kendal Calling last night. Bit of an odd choice, no? Half imagine at Kendal that they would've been just exhausted.
    • Just logged onto the app to start planning my days and there really are a LOT of stages missing. Apart from the Seaside Stage there is no Casemates this year etc. Apart from the Seaside Stage, there are no Casemates this year, etc. Can't see anything about the kids field really. And there's local acts that are normally there like Kojak's Revenge that aren't appearing either.  Normally we get down fairly early but I can't see anything before 3pm I'm keen to see. Only one real clash as well, which is good, but it's thin and it's not thin in the sense of "I've seen a lot of these acts before"
    • Lifelong Carlisle United supporter here.🤦‍♂️ Good luck for the coming Season and see you in October!
