If she gets a crossover hit I can see her taking some slightly bigger slots, but I think she’s a bit away from being a sub or third down main sorta booking.

Think she could come back as an other sub in a few years. 

This is exactly where I think she'll be, if her next album does as well for her as this one (it'll chart much higher), her return for a sundown set on the Other would be a huge get.

I'm thinking this artist may be up my street - what album would be best to try, in regards to quality and what she's likely to play at Glastonbury? A quick google implies her latest, Punisher, is popular?

[PDAD]

Yeah she only has 2 solo albums but Punisher is definitely the most complete of the two and the best place to start. Her most recent setlists are very Punisher heavy too with 2 or 3 from her first album and sometimes one from the Boygenius EP she did with Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker (which is also very much worth checking out).

Just listen to punisher front to back and you’ll be hooked.

I know the end is one of the best songs I’ve heard in years.

Not wanting to oversell it but life changing 😂 

[Little Andy]

Haha, thanks everyone. Today is clearly gonna be the first day of the rest of my life.

I don't think any of my mates (that I know of) are into Phoebe, so I'm thinking this could be one of those beautiful solo missions you take to see an act you really love. HWFG.

[mario man]

She was on Adam Buxton’s podcast last year, played a couple of tracks, well worth a listen

[mjfiddy]

I’m really hoping Muna come out of nowhere as a guest, Silk Chiffon is an absolute pop delight

[Little Andy]

Haha, are the deep backing vocals on this album her own voice digitally deepened?

(p.s, Im liking it!)

I’m looking forward to hearing what people think of her current live performances.  This summer is the first time she’s toured in the U.K. right following Punisher?

I was/am a massive fan of Stranger in the Alps and saw her a couple of times on that tour (one gig, once at a festival).  However, I wasn’t blown away either time I saw her and didn’t think it was any better than just listening to the record.  Maybe the new songs on the record add something extra to the live show (I’m certain I Know The End absolutely kills live).

Yeah it is, unless you're counting the Roundhouse gig where she played a lot of Punisher songs for the first time. Even at that gig you could see her live sets had bumped up in terms of quality. I think the band are really good now from the live footage stuff I've seen, they've got someone on keys and such now adding that extra depth. I also think the visuals for this tour look great.

She looked absolutely A* at Coachella. Proper festival performance.

There’s something about her. She really gets you in the heart strings. It’s magic.

[MaxPower]

I’m a huge fan, absolutely love her, but have resigned myself to missing her if she’s on headliner time, particularly if she’s on Friday or Saturday.

want to party on Friday/Saturday evenings, not mope to sad girl indie 😞

Just praying she’s down ticket on pyramid or something but know that’s very unlikely.

[TheGChild]

I must be missing something. Have tried multiple times to listen to her based on the hype here but she comes across as nothing more than study music. Cant imagine it translates well at a festival.

Open to being shown the light but just havent connected so far despite repeat efforts.

Note: you guys made me do a complete 180 on TayTay which to this day remains a top 10 album for me.

 

[blue6field]

I really like her and love the BOCC album too, I find it difficult to place her at the festival! I kind of see her as a Sunday afternoon Pyramid slot, kind of chill in the sun sort of slot, will try to go wherever she is.

She’s definitely not Sunday as is playing in Brum. Has 24-25th on her tour dates, which has caused debates on here.

Some hopefully think that means she’s playing two sets (me?), some thinking it indicates a secret set, or a guest appearance, and some thinking that it’s just a quirk of how they’ve put it into her dates.

She has lots of other festivals in her tour dates but only one with a hyphenated date like that, so I think she’s playing twice personally.

I know she’s not on the Sunday what I meant was that chilled Sunday afternoon type of set, as I said really struggling to where she plays! Will see her regardless( shifts permitting!)

That would be a dream come true for me.  I've already resigned myself to the fact that whenever she plays it will be up against something I want to see.  Other stage sunset slot would be perfect, as far as I'm concerned.

Has anyone ever headlined on one stage and played lower down on another in the same weekend. I'm racking my brains and can't think of any?

Off the top of my head, Bon Iver headlined The Park in 2009 and played lower on The Other as well.

In 2014 Dry the River headlined Avalon on the Sunday having played JPT earlier in the festival.

Cheers knew there would be some examples but I couldn't think of them. If she plays somewhere like the Park she would have to headline so wondered if that would make her less likely to be on again. Glad it doesn't rule it out. Feels like headliners could be stacked this year so having another option would be great.

Yeah I think Punisher coming out during 2020 apocalypse and also when my headspace wasn’t great made it quite poignant and apt for the time. 

coachella is worth a watch if it’s available or this one is pretty good although the crowd being missing is very bizarre.

 

im also a big Tay fan since Love Story days, as a pretend trendy 21 year old man at the time I died on that hill many a time, now everyone has come around 😂
