Sufjan Stevens

[teamcampesinos!]

...just played his first festival set of the Carrie and Lowell tour, and it looks like he mixed it up a bit from usual -

Do you think we should expect something similar at the festival in September? Are there any favourites we're hoping for?

You know I wasn't that fussed about him as a booking at first, but after listening to him a bit lately, I'm more and more interested in seeing him. Really like the most recent album

I don't think that was a headline set (Bon Iver were headlining i think) so would expect a few more songs but a similar mix

 

Saw him in Glasgow on the Illinois tour and it was fantastic. I expected something quiet and introverted and instead got Cheerleaders and a nice line in stage patter. Obviously the new album is quite sparse and gentle but he has the back catalogue to mix it up for a headline slot.

It's the 45 minute version of Chicago with the Grimethorpe Colliery Band that I'm really looking forward to.

Doing a surprise set on the Sunday?

 

According to this he's down for both Saturday and Sunday -

Early afternoon comedy stage?

[SweepingTheNation]

Only 50-60 miles to Bristol so it's hardly impossible.

It's looking good: http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/aug/31/sufjan-stevens-review-edinburgh-festival-carrie-and-lowell

 

5 stars from the Grauniad.

Just got back from seeing him. Outrageously good. I don't think I've ever seen something so incredibly personal, but it was set out in this big grand way. I wont forget that for a long time, outstanding show.

Fuck that sounds amazing... so wish I was seeing him
