Re: Neil Young. Does he play Hey Hey, My My or Rockin' in the Free World? Remember there was a point where you got one or the other, though that may not be the case anymore.

 

I wouldn't bank on any one specific song being guaranteed in his setlist.  There'll be loads of classics, but which ones is - at this point - anyone's guess.

According to SetList.fm played Hey Hey, My My 14 times in 2024 but all with Crazy Horse. Rockin'....I am pretty certain we will get. Ideal outdoor song. But it's 2025 and not 2009. Hopefully Neil pulls it off but I am just not sure he'll get a huge crowd.

This. Ignore my prior post, forgot Setlist FM separates Young / Y&CH / Y&POTR etc. etc. performances, and pre-coffee brain applied no critical thought.

 

The performance with Chrome Hearts from September sounded good, videos online.

 

Personal preference is we get a rocking first half, acoustic 3rd quarter and final rocking final quarter.

Two guys kissing on stage is "creepy behaviour" now? What a way to display your homophobia.  

Didn't Malaysian LGBTQ+ groups condemn the action after it did more harm than good?

 

I get it come from a good place.

I think at least one did, but it's totally irrelevant to what the original poster said. Call two men kissing "creepy behaviour" is literally textbook homophobia. The only way the could have made their intentions more clear would have been using a slur.

I think the reactions to his post says it all - we were textbook offended. 

 

@ClementsMike it's 2025, darling.

f**k. My bad.

I was referring to the practice of them lining girls up, getting staff to check id’s and then granting them a snog onstage. I’d misread this and so apologies for the implication there. Not intended at all in that way. 
The power flex on the girls? Yeah, f**king creepy.

To be fair a very short-lived practice. Which was him pecking someone (both men and women) during a point during a song.

 

Checking IDs is better than not checking IDs!

Same as the likes of Elvis Presley, David Bowie and more all done the same

Exactly, and lets allow consenting adult women to go along with whatever they want! Who would have thought that men with high social status are considered attractive.

Only just read that LCD Soundsystem are doing a residency at the Brixton academy, didn't even know it had re opened) , in June. Wonder if they might be a Woodsies headliner ? I know they were on as Pyramid sub last year. As not going last year, I'd love this!

Outstanding anecdote. I'm more curious about Ezra from Vampire Weekend being in a... QPR top?

QPR change kit from some point in the mid-2010s. But yes.

 

Might say something about my knowledge gap that I didn't know the singer.

 

Mick Jagger in a Scotland top was also a head-scratcher tbf.

They had the Radio 1 Big Weekend in Norwich about 10 years ago and he wore it for the whole performance 

I know someone who worked at the hotel all the acts were staying at and she saw him, panicked and just called him Mr Dogg 

Superb stuff.

 

Surely that's an acceptable way to address him?

I think if you do want to see LCD Soundsystem in the UK next year that it'll be Brixton or nothing.

I agree. The Chrome Hearts gig from last September looked and sounded great!

    • Skylink is 24 hours... But the skylink will drop you off at Pegasus business Park or EMA (East Midlands Airport) where you'll have to use the Download shuttle link, which isn't 24 hours. The last shuttle from the Download transport hub to EMA is 12:15 TrentBarton / Local bus info here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/download2026   Skylink Derby / Leicester / Loughborough timetable here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/services/skylinkderby  Shuttle timetable here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/userfiles/hotel.pdf If you miss the shuttle, which is very doubtful, you'll just have to find another way to EMA / Pegasus business park, maybe a taxi. You could even walk to EMA from the Download transport hub, wouldn't take too long. Just make sure you use the airport's 'circular path' instead of the dangerous roads.  I walk the circular path often, it's nice and easy. I would post instructions but I very much doubt you'll miss the shuttle, and if you do, it isn't hard to work out. The footpath is clearly signposted from directly opposite / across the road from where the download map has labelled "Pickup and Drop Off Exit." 
    • So for Harry Styles it was actually a plastic bag that basically blocks the view of the front and back cameras. You can still use the phone screen. It's much easier than using lockers, especially for people leaving for the last train etc    I think it's basically reliant on the threat of security kicking you out if you start filming.
    • Hey, does anybody have a joining link for the WhatsApp group plz? I know the secret sets get posted there but have a new phone and number
