On occasion last year (when Calvin Harris was on...) I chilled on the hill where binance used to be Ah so can you still access the hill? That's good. The map to me looked like VIP but maybe a skill issue for me reading the map 😂 Kinda annoying because a few of my favourites will be at amazon but hey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I'd accepted they'd most likely clash with something I wanted to see earlier on but after SZA I think I will be READY for Atarashii Gakko. Followed by Charli too....

Dont expect changes, it is what it is This is not correct, they moved liturgy there (possibly after many complaints?) and it was one of my concerts of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branvan Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 Is Amazon Stage big enough for Romy and Charlie? Or is it this huge party thing where you don‘t really need a stage… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whos3000_ Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 How is it possible that they could ignore all the comments asking for months if twigs was playing and just drop the bomb today? I mean, legally speaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, legally speaking I’ve defended them so many times but this was morally bankrupt behaviour. Most of us on here knew deep down she was gone, yet they just strung out the lie as long as possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsernameHere Posted May 16 Author Report Share Posted May 16 Overall I think it could've been a lot worse. The worst for me are the obvious Pulp x Deftones (at a loss there, it's 50/50!) and the Vampire Weekend clash with everyone. The Freddie Gibbs x Madlib slot is a disappointing placement for me. Unsuitable stage and it'll be bright, which doesn't feel right. I'll be there but I really wish it was at Cupra a bit later. On the other hand Jai Paul at Cupra should be great. Saturday has ended up being better than I thought even without FKA Twigs (but f**k them for not replacing her). Royel Otis > Crumb > PJ > half of Mitski > Bikini Kill/American Football > SZA > Roisin Murphy is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty76 Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 Sad to see FKA Twigs out (not unexpected though), but feels like I get Lankum in place as I was totally expecting them to clash with PJ or Mitski. Thursday turns out much better than I thought, mostly because I don't care much about Vampire Weekend. Voxtrot - Arab Strap - Mannequin Pussy - Amyl - Beth Gibbons - Pulp - Justice is a brilliant run to my tastes. Excited!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ildavo Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 10 hours ago, Gnarler said: I will give them this... They've somehow mapped out Thursday PERFECTLY for me. Everything I wanted to see will be seen + Amaarae. Amazing. Friday, having Omar Apollo into Troye Sivan into Lana is sh*t. I wanted to see Omar and Troye when it's dark out, I'm wrecked, and there's no annoying Lana fans in sight. VERY bottom heavy for me that day. Won't have much to do in the late night except waltz about and find my new favourite act. Agreed, the Saturday is weaaaak. My feet will appreciate it. Also thank GOd I got tickets to Lemon Twigs on the Sunday cus no way was I gonna make 6pm on the Saturday just to watch a band open at the main stage. Lemon Twigs were in my top 2 picks for Saturday with Mitski. Glad they're playing early as it not just avoids a clash, but their tunes should be played in the sunshine. Overall I'm happy. I finally got into The National having seen them, most partially, for the past 10 years or so at Primavera, but I want to see Clipse more.

xxialac Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 Maybe it's ok but a lot of relatively short sets. The National the only headliner to play more than 1h30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clakus Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 (edited) It seems like a lot of people are 50/50 on Pulp Vs Deftones. Can't comment on the latter but the former is probably in my top three gigs of all time, having seen them last year in Sheffield. Being greedy I know - but I wish there was more wriggle room between Beth Gibbons and Pulp, although geographically I guess she's on the most convenient stage for it at least. I just want to 1) see most of her set and 2) get a good spot for Pulp... Other than that, I'm completely intruiged by the Lana set which I feel will either be kind of hellish or ethereal with little in between. Glad Clipse have got a good slot, kind of wishing Freddie Gibbs and Madlib had a similar one. Feel like they've missed a trick going on so early (and on the main stage).

I saw Pulp at Finsbury Park last year. Got into the free "gold circle". One of the best outdoor shows I've been to. Such a great atmosphere. Jarvis throwing grapes and chocolate from his pockets into the crowd capped it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matrainertje Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Biggest surprise is The National playing after Lana, and a longer set than hers in that. But I really like them getting a 2h ling set. Saw them last year, they are playing the best shows of their career atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, with all my love to her, if an artist cancels two years in a row you don't book her again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
