Although I still think they’re a weak sub booking (and am also just not a fan in general…) them releasing something pre-festival certainly makes their booking a little less stale and weak. Guess it’ll also come down to whether the new stuff is received well, but at least they’re not just doing the rounds on the tired old material circuit.

Ha, what a pair of w*nkers. Not really sure what they were expecting when playing a festival like that, but I also get the impression they probably knew full well that they’d get a not-so-rapturous reception so they could have their little rock n roll outburst. Suppose it must be a little jarring to realise you’re no longer the flavour of the month and that the average person no longer cares about your sh*tty music.

What a chump! Remember seeing them at Reading once and the singer looked like he had ingested the contents of Hunter S Thompsons suitcase.

Having said that they pretty good at Glasto the other year so would probably check them out if in the area.

I see they’re happy to take the money for doing the Big Weekend but obviously consider themselves above it. Comes across as an absolute nob. 
 

We saw them on Saturday night supporting Muse…I’m not a fan so I’m not the best person to ask, but I think they’ve had their 15 minutes.

Fair enough to Mike for calling out dead crowds, I've been to a lot of shows where the crowd is utterly unmoved to a lively band, but R1 Big Weekend was never gonna have walls of death like. I'm surprised stuff like that doesn't happen more often, because the amount of shows you see where acts are going hell for leather on stage to a wall of phones and sculptures is pretty infuriatingly high. Odd all round.

Just had a look and they were scheduled before Niall Horan and Lewis Capaldi, so no surprise the crowd wasn’t giving them much back as they were basically just the annoying loud rock band playing before the stuff most of the crowd was there for.

    • There’s a few in there which could go either way or I’m not bothered if I miss but think that’s now be pretty set.  Few rubbish clashes like Kasabian/Loyle plus Reytons/Pixies/CMAT but I’ll head with the lads to the most popular one.   (And yes no Byrne or Twigs, just can’t into either)
    • I saw somewhere they were advertising Lewis' day as him live on Glagow Green and only mentioned Amy Mcdonald and CMAT as support, 0 mention of the festival  I completely agree this will probably be the last one which is a shame because the first 2 seemed so promising and now its turned into middle of the road rubbish with acts you can see everywhere else  Anyone know if the BBC are covering it next week as it'll be fascinating to see how full (or empty) it is  
    • Did anyone catch Viagra Boys last night? A rollicking good set, with a little more free jazz than I expected.   if you’re up early, Walabi is doing a super job in the Cupra Pulse. There till six.

    • They really dropped a bollock on their lineup this year. They went with Richard Ashcroft because he did well as Oasis support - But realistically, you're not getting 50k people in a field to hear the 4 or 5 songs they know at like £70+ a ticket. Can't get my head around the Kasabian booking, either. Finsbury Park was a bold move for them, and yes it sold out, but I think you're more likely to see people make the journey to London if they want to see them rather than Glasgow. A second similar capacity show was always going to be a big ask for them.
