2024 Festival

[Lawsie]

Back to the music... 

I've been checking out some artists on the poster that I haven't listened to before and I've really liked James Marriott's new album. I knew of him from YouTube but had never listened to any of his stuff. 

Did anyone here see his MSE set last year? Seems like someone who'd go down well in the FR tent

And moving on indeed, I've had a crack at what we can expect from Lana Del Rey.

1 Norman f**king Rockwell
2 Born to Die
3 The Grants
4 Bartender
5 Cherry
6 Honeymoon
7 Blue Jeans
8 Chemtrails Over the Country Club
9 Arcadia
10 Pretty When You Cry
11 Love
12 Summertime Sadness
13 Ultraviolence
14 Say Yes to Heaven
15 Video Games
16 Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd

All fairly feasible with the exception of Honeymoon and Love, given they barely get much airtime these days. (The latter being permanently exiled just gives me one more reason to think she's a diva, but that's purely personal taste.)

You'll probably get a Lasso track in there too, in place of that.

Is there a reason why she wouldn't perform Radio or West Coast?

I saw him whilst waiting for another act and he was alright to be fair, hardcore audience in the very front and hardly anything further back an example of an artist drowned by the mainstage but should do well in a tent

Enjoyed it for what it was, not sure you can really ask for much more at 12 on Saturday tbh - definitely think it’ll be better in the tent though

He was good fun in the FR on the Thursday at leeds. Closed the stage before heading to the nightlife so was pretty rammed in there

Yeah but they haven’t and you know that. It’s named after a shape and you know that. That shape has been part of their branding for over a decade and you know that. This is you trying to sound smart but you have never, ever sounded more silly (and you’ve sounded silly a lot). 

this!!

None at all! Whole thing utterly dependent. Tried to pull from last year's setlists, with a couple of personal caveats.

Maybe so!

The more of it I listen to the stronger this lineup looks

[Benj]

Got tickets

I’ll be the old c**t standing, arms crossed, at the back of the big tent 👍🏼

[BenG92]

Insane that after subbing Yung Lean on the 4th stage at L&R less than 6 months ago, Sleep Token have just shifted about 70,000 UK arena tickets. Mental booking.

There hasn’t been a band with a rise like theirs since MCR. It’s absolutely insane. I think they will headline Download next year.

They’ve just added another O2 date and a Leeds Arena date. That’ll be around 113,000 tickets when they sell out. Absolutely unreal scenes.

Spiritual cramp are class just started listening to them their album last year is one of the best imo

If you just listen to Dark Signs I can totally see the point

[wghennessy]

I thought it was known who the singer is?

[Jericode]

I'll be honest, now it's been said I can definitely understand a Rob Damiani shout, but it's never sounded like Dan Smith.

Looks like Catfish are gonna announce a tour soon according to their insta, wonder if it’ll be smaller venues like what Kasabian did
