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?)

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
