It feels like this year's wrapped was a bit of a wet fart to me. Restricted to the app (I use the web version) and no wrapped playlist like previous years. I loved sharing wrapped playlists with friends and family to get a bit of flavour of their listening, and my listening this year was massively influenced by how much I loved my son's wrapped playlist from last year, hence apparently this year I listened to more Olivia Rodrigo than is healthy.
I guess it's so hard to be objective about these things. I loved the line-up this year... the headliners especially were a crazy clash fest. And now this... pretty much my three least favourite largish artists in the alternative music space, plus Caribou who I loved 15 years ago but for me have really lost it. I'm sure the undercard will be amazing as usual and I'm excited by Ela Minus, Lisa O'Neil and Throwing Muses... but other than Father John Misty (who I accept is popular but just don't get) I don't understand what any of these artists have done in recent years to merit being elevated to headliners.
Yeah I was in the tent that year - a real case of being booked for the wrong stage. from what i was told, they had to block the area off and inside it felt like they must’ve because people were getting crushed. a family (young girl - clearly a fan - and parents) had to leave halfway through over the barriers because they were struggling to cope. it was just two months after Heathens, so arguably the peak “buzz” they had
Honestly sziget is better off without Fatboy Slim. Saw him last year and the show was truly awful.
but then again.. given the direction sziget is heading in, maybe it would work.
