I was fully prepared to miss Fred but now that it looks like he’s up against Royal Blood I’m starting to hope the other stages remain clashless so I can be there. Will be a total vibe and nice little segue in to the headliner messiness.

Dude where you getting the intel on stages from? I’m totally lost lol

 

So what day and slot do we think Fred is playing then?

Just that he’s playing, but no stage or day I don’t think.

Not big enough I don’t think. Most likely to be in Glade one night I’d have thought.

You say that, but honestly, who is Wizkid??? I’ve not heard anyone talking  about him on here and nobody in my group had a clue who he is. Yes we are all in our 40’s and yes we all gave his music a shoot yesterday. Not our vibe. But anyway, my point, surely Leftfield has more notoriety than Wizkid 🤷‍♂️

 

Or am I that out of touch now lol

Granted, Wizkid has been a bit of an anomaly across the board judging from the response to him, but yeah, it’s mostly just that you’re out of touch haha. Guessing he’s very popular with the young’uns, but yeah, not my thing either. Leftfield is great but hardly relevant in todays music scene, and definitely not WH headliner level anymore.

doing tottenham's stadium after doing 2 nights at the o2

afrobeats, similar to Burna Boy who subbed other last year

can't say i'm fussed myself but he's definitely big. Glastonbury are very much on it with pushing afrobeats

This is music to my ears. That's one potential clashterfuck avoided.

Is anybody else slightly worried that Fred Again will be hampered by it not being dark for his set? His stage set up/light show surely works best in the dark? 
be keen to know if anybody has seen him play a daylight slot? And if so how it went down? Absolutely buzzing for him to be so high up on a major stage, it’s fully deserved!

I’ve not seen him so not sure how much dark is required, but tbh his kind of music strikes me as very well suited for a sunset kind of setting so I’m glad that’s what he’s doing.

Yeah looking at his live sets, they appear to be relatively stripped back with what is essentially a giant phone screen behind him projecting the recordings he samples so should work fine at sunset.

He currently doesn't have much of a light set up but he has just hired the same people bicep have i heard

It will work well, think like caribou or avalanches from last year.

He did Forwards in daylight i know, someone was surely there?

Seen him quite a few times both in the day and night. I prefer it in the dark in the same way I do most gigs but he’ll be ace in a sunset slot!

I agree, and have said this from the start, he is a sun going down, chilled out, beautiful evening type of artist, not a lights up rave away type (in my opinion before I get shouted at).

imo he's good for both, but he definitely fits a sunset slot better than most other big dance acts glasto books e.g. chems, prodigy, bicep all firmly more night leaning

[TiZuff]

seen fred many times and like has been said previously, nighttime sets are just better generally i feel.

but fred will have a huge crowd who are all there to see him so imagine it being a very memorable party atmosphere. i wish he was headlining west holts (deffo big enough) but at least you kinda get 2 headliners on the friday (if one of the others are your thing). I mean there has been worse nights at glastonbury than fred again -> Arctics or whoever.

I’ve seen him twice, once in a gig and once outside at a festival in the afternoon. He was incredible in the gig and then pretty disappointing at the festival. But the sound wasn’t amazing and it was insanely busy/crowd were a bit rubbish. I’m sure he’d turn it on for Glasto though

Hi Thread Again people. Can somewhere recommend where to start with Fred Again's music? Particularly along the lines of what his show at Glasto will consist of?
