Faithless

[ModernMan]

This is brilliant. Been needed for ages to draw a crowd somewhere on Thursday. 

[parsonjack]

The current licence doesn't cover the main 16 Stages and Venues at any time other than Friday - Sunday.

This is great news. Surely they would need to do it on the Pyramid or Other Stage anyway or it's going to cause absolute carnage. 

[ghostdancer1]

Zero chance they're playing the Pyramid on Thursday. They may be headlining a stage on Thursday. They can try spin tht as headlining the festival on Thursday if they want.

 

And Maxi Jazz left the band in 2016, they've been performing without him for several years....

Who’s to say something hasn’t changed though? It’s pretty unusual to make that claim. And interesting that on the poster they are beneath the line.

Because this is eFestivals.....Emily can't invest in new socks without someone on here knowing about it.  Changes to licence T's and C's are bread and butter round these parts.

Black ones last week by the looks of it 😂

[westholtschic]

Well speaking as someone who is on duty Thursday night this has got carnage written all over it unless they are playing in a big field!

Somerset Council.

A substantial licence change like that would need to be notified and consulted locally. It couldn't go under the radar.

It's possible that they plan to apply for that change. But it's a bit late, and announcing it like this won't do them any favours.

very unlikely -  they could have done that anytime in the last 20 years but have chosen not to.

[ghostdancer1]

A Maxi Jazz-less Faithless isn't playing the Pyramid on Thursday.

Even if he was still a) alive, and b) in the band, they still wouldn't be playing the Pyramid on Thursday.

Probably because they'll be on a stage not listed on the poster.

Yeah. And if they intended to do so now, surely it'd be before booking a band.

yeah but still begs the question where ? biggest places with music on Thursday .... Glade and icon ?

would have done it over the off-period, starting last summer, and not during the busier run-up to the fest.

[Havors]

Probably the glade and cause carnage like the last 2 years

My money would be The Glade.

Yep. 

And if bloody Example can pull a massive crowd on Thursday, then it’ll be carnage for Faithless.

Glade wasn't big enough for Example's low grade current incarnation. 

It won't be big enough for Faithless even with no Maxi.
