Ringo_Spar Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Forgot it had moved weekends this year so Blossoms are possible. Edited March 10, 2018 by Ringo_Spar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Blossoms are bigger than any act on that lineup and would've been booked as a headliner if they were there so I don't think there's any chance of them being added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcornmaster Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Hardly an exhaustive list but I've been slowly making my way through the Spotify playlist and made brief notes.

Decent placebo.The Oreilles - Ok indie/surf rockThe Bohos - Big 80s sound throwback indieFine Creatures - Like a calm/shit soundgardenYoungblud - Shit early Arctics MonkeysVundabar* - 90s Rock/Pixies/LA Shark hectic styleNight Flight* - Jeff Buckley song structure/chord progressionsOlympia - Ok - Female indie popHockey Dad* - Feeder if Feeder were good# DropkickMan* - Absolute Irony Grime (actually quite enjoyable)Geowolf - Ok - cross between Kero Kero Bonito & Stealing SheepOtzeki* - Like Hot Chip mixed with BonoboHusky Loops* - Interesting use of melody, sounds like Chris Martin and Ninetails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) Have ended up getting a free ticket for this. Not arsed about most of the lineup but might pop down for a few acts at least (or possibly just Wye Oak and Idles). Will have to have a scan through the lineup and see if there's anything else worth catching. Would've quite liked to have seen Jaws but have just seen that they pulled out which is a shame. edit: oh wait Wye Oak and Idles are on at the same time. Fantastic.

And Indoor Pets used to be Get Inuit who used to be quite good (as far as I remember). I'd recommend The Orielles, too, but they're on at the same time as Idles.

dentalplan Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 The Longcut?! Had no idea they were still going. Give them and Catholic Action a spin before Saturday. That whole bill under Idles seems decent enough tbh. Art School Girlfriend+Chelou and Jane Fonda Aerobic+Hockey Dad are decent one-twos elsewhere.

home to you Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Heading up for this with my gf tomorrow. Can't ever remember being so unfamiliar with a festival line-up but it'll be good to see some new acts so cheers for the recommendations! Quite annoying that the 4 I'm most familiar with are all clashing though (IDLES / Wye Oak and Yellow Days / Superorganism). Will definitely go to Wye Oak... does anyone know how big the venue is? I want to make sure we don't get turned away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Only ended up seeing 4 bands at this - whoever opened for Wye Oak who were alright, Wye Oak were great although I was pretty hammered by the time they came on so it's a little hazy, and then saw half of Peace yesterday who were pretty good but then left to go see Superorganism based on people on here's reviews of their live shows and they were great - a lot of fun! Honestly I don't really see where the value for money was with the lineup this year as they stuck all the good/big acts on at the same time at the end of the night, but I thought the venues worked really well and I hope with it apparently selling out they can get a more impressive lineup together next year (or maybe just something more to my taste I guess as I'm sure others enjoyed the lineup lest it wouldn't have sold out).

Expand Well I think a lot of people go to these kinda things (Live at Leeds and Neighbourhood inclusive) because it’s just a day hopping around venues drinking and watching live music without much bother about seeing certain bands. And obviously the newer acts are cheaper to fill out the stages during the day and won’t crowd any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
home to you Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Really enjoyed this - everyone was mega friendly and there were so many cool venues! ALASKALASKA, Wye Oak, Love Ssega and Yellow Days were my highlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
