Green Man Festival 2015

[bocumaroy]

St Vicent/Owen Pallett clash is the only notable disappointment there. Probably go with Owen because I’ve only ever seen him in a support slot, and it’ll give me a headliner for each of the stages. But Annie seems like such a great way to end the festival. 

 

Edit: Nevermind, read the line up wrong. Rest easy, there should be plenty of Trust Fund (though there is an extra act on there, so I dunno, should probably stop thinking about it now).

No Courtney for me then. Damn. Slowdive annoying as well but have seen them.

Worried about a potential Prass - Viet Cong clash but the rest I can deal with.

[retromoz]

The Father John Misty/Courteney Barnett clash is a pisser. Other than that, it's all good (potentially. Depending on official times).

[timeforheroes]

Misty vs Barnett is a disaster.

 

St Vincent and Goat is not ideal either.

 

Encouraged at the prospect off Jamie XX late at night.

[Bort]

Television vs The Fall? Makes absolutely no sense to have two post-punk bands that started in the '70s playing at the same time.

 

St. Vincent vs Goat vs Owen Pallett and Father John Misty vs Courtney Barnett are brutal. Shouldn't Courtney be on the main stage?

 

Oh yeah, clashfinder:

Agree about Fall and Television, horrible to make people pick. The scarcity of Television makes it a bit easier for me.

 

Swap Courtney and The Antlers and I'd have been thrilled.

[Bort]

They're both scarce here. When's the last time The Fall played anywhere in the US? 

[dirty_dog]

not too many clashes for me, Goat Vs St Vincent & Atomic Bomb Vs Emmy The Great

[Amy Lawn]

St Vincent vs Goat vs Owen Pallett is a shame for me, but also a little bit of a no brainer. Owen is my main event, never seen him live before, seen St Vincent five times and Goat twice, but this is my brother's first fest, St Vincent is the only one he's really excited about, and he likes Goat quite a bit, he has no interest in Owen Pallett, and I don't know how willing he'll be to go off on his own.

Atomic Bomb vs Emmy The Great is painful, but I have to go with Emmy. Slowdive is the perfect alternative to SFA for me. There are some wonderful pairing there as well, like The Antlers into The Staves, and Viet Cong into Hookworms.

Green Man have hinted on Facebook that the Special Guest is "bewitchingly good", The Wytches then?

[Chawk]

SFA vs Slowdive & Courtney vs FJM is shit, think it'll be SFA & FJM though....

 

 

Also Songhoy Blues on Far Out? They played the Pyramid?

Also want to point out what a wonderful turn up for the books it is that Owen Pallett is not only headlining a stage, but closing the whole weekend! Worth sacrificing St Vincent's wonderful show for. I love it when your main event of the weekend is the last one, Owen may well be the main event of my entire summer.

[Bort]

Always go with Emmy.

 

That Sunday night clusterfuck hurts, but I gotta go with St. Vincent. The best live act in the world right now. 

[bocumaroy]

Those who’ve been before - how far between each stage?

[cdm22]

About 5 minutes tops!

[Peridot]

If conditions are good it's less than 5 mins.

 

Can take a bit longer if wading through mud

[sinc72]

The stage splits have worked out alright for me overall, Slowdive, SFA being the only issue really. Have Syd Arthur disappeared from the line up? Cant see them

They are playing Chai Wallahs I think which isn't on the line up poster

[Tuna]

So are people planning on seeing SFA over Slowdive? Like, seriously?

[dirty_dog]

or it could be Bewitched ??

[Bort]

I'll be at Slowdive, no question. 

 

How early should I get to the Walled Garden to be in the front for Emmy the Great? Cool that she's playing at night. I imagine that means we'll get to see her holograms.

[Amy Lawn]

Another Walled Garden question; do the headliners here usually get a shorter set than Mountain headliners? Missing St Vincent is a real bugger, if I can slip in 20 minutes before Owen Pallett it might placate me, especially if she rolls out Your Lips Are Red, Marrow or Cruel early on.

[Bort]

Steezy Veezy will close with "Your Lips Are Red." 

 

I wonder what she'll do at Green Man. A crowd surf? A death-defying stunt? Throw trash and grab stuff from the fans on the front row?

 

Edited July 28, 2015 by Bort

[Amy Lawn]

Yeah, I think she's closed with YLAR each time I saw her last year, was hoping she'd shunt it to the front to help me out.

anyone find Hot Chips setlist at Glastonbury a bit weird ? some amazing songs missing especially a few off the new album and some really dull songs included?

Best set of the weekend for me, I really loved it. Only 2 Why Make Sense songs was unexpected, but it was a festival set so I suppose they wanted to go with some more tried and tested songs. Don't know what these "really dull songs" are though, surely Hot chip don't have any of those.
