This is also The 1975, and I say this as a big fan of their music.

They do, almost regrettably, have tonnes of bangers.

I know nothing about the 1975. Is the staggering and smoking just an act? Pretty sh*t one if it is.

 

As I say he's always had this kind of "This is what a rockstar is meant to do" vibe about him.

And he fails so hard! If he just stopped acting it'd be fine! 

[NorthernSoul52]

This has got the groove, and the singalong.

[Andre91]

Still waiting for him to split the G 😒

[Punksnotdead]

Feels like this Loyle Carner set would have been nice late afternoon/early evening but doesn't quite work as a headliner?

[NorthernSoul52]

When he straps on the guitar and goes actually playing, you remember how good they can be.

 

The 2022 R+L shows were superb, and to be fair, the second non-concept half of the At Their Very Best/Still At Their Very Best shows found him near-flawless.

the music slaps but the 'rockstar persona' is giving gcse drama performance of grease

Yep he doesn't have the natural charisma of front-man but can't deny his musical talent. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Nothing yet from A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships, which packs at least three normal locks in a set, and possibly up to five. (Though the time for TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME is gone.)

This. All of this! It's incredibly frustrating. 

 

This is also how I now feel about Alex Turner, I used to love Arctic Monkeys!

The double-act-as-act is part of the attraction for many. (Not so much me, I just think they're a great live band beyond him with some very good postmodern pop tunes.)

Lorde’s set is up on iPlayer now.

[NorthernSoul52]

They've been worth their shot for years, and this is probably the right time to be fair. But I don't think they're going to win new fans - and you know what? Fair enough. He's clearly going in on his own terms.

Oh, excellent.

[NorthernSoul52]

Cameraman getting their salt for those low-Dutch angle crashes.

[NorthernSoul52]

People clearly designed to be a two-fingers to the dissenters, so also fair play for dropping it in the middle of a festival set.

[NorthernSoul52]

Didn't think Be My Mistake would get aired, but now it makes obvious sense.

[ICESTONE]

just in from forced work related fun, settling in to catch up on Floating Points and Four Tet. 

[Kempleton]

Jeeeeez, the crowd for ‘Robbers’.

 

Might not be the biggest crowd, but they are LOUD!

 

That was beautiful.

[Handshake]

Anohni’s got a bigger crowd than I expected. I’d probably be there if I had a ticket. Lovely stuff so far.

They properly got the voice up for it.

[noisenoiseandmorenoise]

Anohni set looks gorgeous on TV but I wonder how this holds up with a festival crowd at this time in the evening. Pretty cerebral stuff.

 

[NorthernSoul52]

Trouser break makes me think we're getting a big run from Brief now.
