The album is cracking! I know US tour dates rule them out for this year, but hopefully we’ll get a run of European festivals in 24.

Would make mighty fine Park headliners (or perhaps high Woodsies).

Guess it depends on how big the album is… seems to be a lot of hype around it so I wouldn’t be surprised if they snuck into a higher slot.

Listened through once and I still stand by Julien being the strongest of the three.

I'd love them at G24 but realistically will they still be touring this then or more likely back to solo stuff?

Agree on Julien shining brightest here - the songs where she takes lead are the standouts here for me.

Considering some of the slots they’ve been getting at other festivals and the size of their own shows before the album was even released I think it’s fair to say they’ve far outgrown the Park already. Think Woodsies headliner or mid Other is where they’d end up if they get booked for the festival next year, but realistically they’ll probably be back to doing their solo shit by then so maybe we’ll get them next album.

Enjoying the album so far. Phoebe's lead songs definitely feel like they could have just been taken off of Punisher (no bad thing, of course). Its definitely hit the high expectations I had for it.

Not sure how this really translates in terms of popularity as I know their outdoor UK gigs have yet to sell out when I last checked. Could make a very good Other sub or headliner at one of the other stages.

Its....fine. Couple of nice tunes on there. Not sure how much of it would work live.

I agree, it’s not gonna prompt repeat listens from me.  

I guess we will see how this works live when they play at Coachella in a couple of weeks time!

Enjoying it. Will try and get tickets for the Gunnersbury Park gig but £50 seemed a lot for a one-album and an EP band unless they throw in some solo songs to fill out the set?

Still, it’s a festival and relatively close to me so maybe should just bite the bullet and go!

I think they do throw in some solo songs too or at least have done in the past

fwiw MUNA and Ethel Cain are both absolutely fantastic too making that £50 seem like a bargain

I'd booked for Gunnersbury before the album came out as it's on my birthday so felt like an ideal way to spend the day.

Really loving the album - does feel squarely made for fans of any/all 3 of the members already. Not sure how wide the appeal will be if you weren't already a fan of them.

I'd watch them all do their own separate gig on the same day at Gunnersbury Park, I dunno about together yet. My guess is that Glastonbury will get them in '24 if they're touring, although the buzz will have died off by then (seems to be a common thing for US indie rock kinda acts to show up at UK festivals the year after people are excited about them?)

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
