Surprised everyone thinks this is going to be insanely busy. He’s struggled to sell out a few dates on his tour. I’m a big fan but I don’t think he has the wide fan base that people think, along with it being an early slot in the day for this kind of music. Definitely won’t be Wet Leg busy

yeah, I don't think it will be Wet Leg busy - they had some really big singles with massive radio play and loads of press at the point they played Glasto.  Barry Can't Swim hasn't crossed over into the mainstream like that.

Heaps and heaps of people were turning away from Wet Leg

you could have half as many people as wet leg bothering to go and it would still be very very busy

[goldfishboy]

everyone in this thread making fred comparisons but after listening to a few of his tunes i'm not imagining it having the same impact? though will surely be busy going by how many people on here seem stoked for it

[Nice hymer]

With such a heavy line up of electronic artists, it no longer feels quite as 'must see' as a couple of months ago.

 

I don't think it'll be anywhere near as busy as Wet Leg...

He sold out 3 nights at Brixton in about 5 minutes. It'll be heaving.

He obviously hasn’t had quite the same insane rise that Fred did, but his brand of feel good euphoric house music is very popular right now and he’s making big waves himself, plus given our estimations of who is where on the lineup he isn’t gonna have much stiff competition. Gonna be very busy.

He's nearly as boring as Fred but not quite. Can't quite match Fred for cringe either

I must admit I am a little baffled by his insane popularity. It's pleasant, well produced stuff but I can't understand why he is massive but others aren't.
