How many times did you see Fontaines DC?

[mattiloy]

They stole the show for me and must deserve their own thread if only for their ubiquity.

Went along out of curiosity to JP having listened a little to a couple of tracks, loved it and ended up also going to left field and the rabbit hole.

 

Anybody complete the set with the above + bill’s green?

 

Hope to see more of them at the fest in years to come.

Saw them on Leftfield Sunday evening and they were superb

Just did Leftfield, didn’t realise they were on in the JP otherwise I’d have gone to that too.

[ManchesterGlasto]

Just did Leftfield and they smashed it. 

[fuzzy_logic]

Only Leftfield but it was superb 

[SighMo]

Did WG, JP and LF. The Sunday gig was too late or I’d have gone. Special band this lot. I was the old twat with the psychedelic bucket hat with no shirt on in the thick of it...got battered to fuck. Just love this kind of vibe. Loved the way the lead just paces; especially when they lost the guitar for a couple of minutes on Leftfield. Same vibes at Snapped Ankles and FWF who killed it as usual. 

[Flysheet]

Did JP and LF, there was a clash for WG and RH was wayyy too late for an old knacker like me to hit the road at 7am.

The band however, ‘kinell!

JP was ace...overflowing the tent

[Badlands]

JP and WG for me. Electrifying! Top 3 of my weekend.

Haha, I also was one of the shirtless ones taking a bashing.

He’s a great front man. Definitely taken a cue from Ian Curtis and totally dug the Luke Kelly poem intro.

Unique, good tunes, great energy and as a band, very tight even at the RH at 3am. Not wishing to curse it but hopefully the future is a bright one.

Seems like there are some good bands coming out of Dublin at the moment. Was disappointed that the murder capital rumour did not crystallise onto the lineup.

So glad you dropped Ian Curtis in there...telling my lad he has the same stage presence. So excited for this band.

Saw the guy standing on shoulders in the bar after...he was well happy with that shot. 

[HeyPorter]

Just Leftfield for me after the sun stopped from going WG, was absolutely mesmerised by them. What a frontman, barely said a word but had the crowd eating out of his hand.

We said the exact same thing after the JP set

[Badlands]

Was at the front for WG, inadvertently got caught up in the pit. I’d say I’m too old for that shit but there were plenty fellas with years on me really going for it, having the time of their lives.

That bass player mind, he’s fucking effortlessly cool. 

[blackdog]

WG & Leftfield both ace

Probably me...53?

[Northern_Lights]

Guy I was camping with did all four.

[Lubic]

Did Williams Green which was insanely hot, but a really great performance.

Rabbit Hole was absolute carnage from start to finish. Was at the front for the start, and midway through the opener I was near the back! Not sure if this is what my body needed in the final hours of the festival, but the band sounded good.

Also saw a bit of the Leftfield show from outside the tent while on my way to Billie Eilish.

[Euphoricape]

JP and LF. Both brilliant sets. Saw both idles shows on the Friday which were easily my festival highlight. Pure magic.

[Justiceforcedave]

I did JP and the Rabbit Hole. Grand ending to my festival!

[TheGoodWillOut]

Never seen them before or heard much of their music but the JP set was one of the highlights of my festival. Singer pacing the stage like a hungry lion and can echo what others have said,  so reminded me of Ian Curtis 

[AmyShambles]

Did Leftfield and Rabbit Hole. Was in the tent at WG but had to leave because it was too hot, nearly collapsed. 

[Losing my hair]

Just did WG which was great and very very hot - I'd been in there for Snapped Ankles as well so I was wilting by the end. 

I was on my way to Leftfield after FWF but got talking to somebody and before you know it............... 

Anyway, EOTR next month.
