Yeah, it’s been a Wednesday for the past two additions and based on dates for this year would make it 15th or 22nd Jan with more acts for Belguim music week the WC 27th Jan. Then finally a final package at the start of Feb.
That's the thing. If they are delivering acts that are drawing crowds who walk away having enjoyed 45-60 minutes of cheese then that's clearly what the punters want and it's not like there isn't plenty of room for 'serious' acts alongside them. I've never bothered with any of the retro revival pop acts, I didn't listen to them when they were releasing music and I'll not walk across the farm to watch them now.
Simz is a great example of an artist who got a bump up and stuck the landing. I seem to recall reading on here that there was a suggestion that her slot was part of Coldplay's agreement. She was great, really polished performance I thought.
For all the criticism of Avril's placement last year, it was much more well organised than some of the West Holts and Avalon decisions of the past that were just plain silly.
But a very, very watered down version of War On Drugs then. Can't imagine WOD releasing anything as watered down as Fender's last single (People Watching)...
