My issue with these guys is the over use of a backing track for guitars etx. Would much rather the guitars be live 

 

Quite a few acts get that criticism at the moment, and I agree, but times are hard and it's a massive penny saver for them.

Some of there early shows I saw Bob played the guitar for some tracks had a negative on the show as he needs to be free to prance around the stage.

They’re fine without live guitars.

 

Anyway the most wonderful moments occurred at their Shambala set. Introducing Bea, a young audience member (maybe about 12). Who when invited on stage to sing with them stole the show. It was like she was a professional with 20 years experience. Incredible

They had someone really young in Leftfield that they had a chat to and it was really lovely too

Question now abounds whether this generates Kneecap-level responses. We shall see. Who was in attendance for it / caught the stream? 

Seems like lots of people caught the stream and have opinions!

I was there, they were brilliant as always. I left to see Weezer so missed those particular comments.  Not sure why they were given that slot though if people are going to be offended by them, they’ve played before enough times.

Think the whole Kneecap storm just further galvanised them.

 

Slightly incredulous that the BBC thought they were dodging bullets there.

Bob Vylan was the perfect artist to have before Kneecap. Crowd were mad for it and very receptive. They’re always class live as well. 
Controversy to be expected but definitely not antisemitic. All the more insane that their words have made more headlines than real-world violence. Will be interesting to see what happens to them in the future. Been dropped by their agent but have also tripled their following on socials.

Agree with all this. Third time seeing them and thought they were great - I stayed to the end then dashed off to Weezer. Find all the pearl clutching pretty silly - as if punk bands being politically controversial is a new thing.

    • TOP 10 acts (top 5 in bold😞   Blood Orange (ciutat)   Guitarricadelafuente   Oklou - Looks like I'm capable of enjoying music in the rain after all, just not the whole night.   Rilo Kiley   The Cure   Jade   Depresión Sonora   Gelli Haha (Parc del Forum) - Her music never really clicked with me. Until I saw her live.   MARINA   Six Sex (ciutat) - I was shocked how supersmall the venue was and that almost everyone (except for me) knew every word of every song (including the ones that were released this weekend!).   Honorable mention:   Ashnikko - missed the first 15 minutes (because of Gelli Haha) and I'm not really a fan of her music, but the show was an absolute blast.
    • Totally agree about PinkPantheress stage choice. 'Luckily' for me, one of my main targets, fakemink, was absolutely awful, meaning that I left early and was in a surprisingly good spot at Cupra before it got totally packed.
    • As many said before, not my favourite Primavera. sh*tty weather is something I'm not really used to when enjoying music. Poor communication (more than 1 hour long radio silence during the worst rain) didn't help, but the main problem was me. I decided to leave the venue after things seemed to be getting back to normal. Massive Attack were supposed to play again (with Hymn of the Big Wheel back on the setlist!) as were all other artists on the smaller stages (including Fcukers with one my favourite albums of the year). FOMO was at an all-time high. However, after 4 hours in the rain, I had to admit to myself that I'm not cut out for this. I wasn't even that soaked (water-proof jacket worked). I was just fed up with the rain, wind and cold and wasn't able to enjoy music anymore.   Also, they should stop ignoring the growth of some artists between signing them up and their actual performance. Both PinkPantheress and Ninajirachi sets were ruined for me by completely inadequate stage choice.   However, I felt very much the same way after the 2022 edition and have thoroughly enjoyed all subsequent editions. So I'm still buying early bird tickets for 2027 and hoping this was a hiccup not the start of a downward trend.
    • I will definitely be buying a 2027 early bird pass, partially because of the priority reservation privileges for the Ciutat sets. Hopefully the organization will take action to improve upon this year's failings. Because I thought the free water options and sound quality were an improvement over last year, so clearly they can actually implement positive changes.   I also hope all the douchebag chompers get in the sea, cause I was more bothered by them than in the past few years.   Highlights: The Cure, Ninajirachi, Knocked Loose, Current 93, Blood Orange.
