Bjork generally only does well paid stuff now so I wouldn't expect to see her at Glasto again sadly.

Blue dot are big payers? Didn’t strike me like that when I went

Maybe not as much as like Reading/Leeds and BST will pay, but certainly more than Glasto will be paying for a non-headline slot. Plus tickets for her tour were like £100; she's certainly not cheap

True. Although everyone’s a tonne these days it feels like 

[dentalplan]

The last year of Bestival, where they didn’t exactly break da bank on the acts but still went under afterwards, it was revealed they still owed London Grammar £175k (unlikely to be their full fee as a fee should be paid up front too) after the fest.

Glastonbury’s headline fee is reportedly £250k max, just to put into perspective about fees for artists and how even mid-sized events pay more than Glastonbury.

Shame the Cavester is ruled out. I was gonna say I’m not sure if he does festivals he ain’t headlining these days but I think he headlined a second stage against Arctic Monkeys at Rock Werchter last tour.

Edit: Get him subbing Swifty in 2023 for the best night in Pyramid history.

Been 4 times, 3 volunteering and 1 as a punter. Worth going for Kraftwerk and the real ale 😄

Ctrl+c, ctrl-v a few of these on willy wangers green?

 

Would love (British) Sea Power to make it to gb. Where i don’t know. Early on John Peel or Park. Or maybe some random slot on leftfield. (Particularly since they went so woke that they dropped British from their name- presumably in case it might trigger any 18th century french naval officers in the audience..

Name change and Everything Was Forever (2021–present)[edit]

On Monday 9 August 2021, the band announced that they would henceforth be known as Sea Power due to "a rise in a certain kind of nationalism in this world – an isolationist, antagonistic nationalism that [they] don't want to run any risk of being confused with.", and that their new album, Everything Was Forever, would be released in February 2022.^[33][34]

^{hardly woke just don't want to be associated with a load of nationalist scum}

Not sure if already posted

It probably means anything but Idles liked the Emily post for the site planning on Instagram.

That was a joke there. They can do what they want with their name. I like Sea Power/British Sea Power. Thanks for the wiki page tho

Although- I’d guess the risk of man of arran blaring out at the next EDL rally are slim whatever they call themselves. But I know people have become more sensitive these days and feel like things are happening in the wider world outside of their control. If this makes them feel like they’re taking back control then fair dos… maybe a little ironic tho

It's clearly not a coincidence that since they got the new woke name they've become a better band - the two singles under the new moniker are both belters.

[dentalplan]

Ironically, because of confusion with the US band Sea Power, they have to be known as Sea Power UK on their North American tour.

The London Sea Power

They were good at Leeds Fest 2013 subbed by Savages while Eminem was off stinking up the main stage.

Beat me too it or before Miss Ross

A few weeks ago Anton Newcombe replied "not that I know of" to a tweet asking if BJM we're at the G. That was before they announced their first European date a few days ago. Fingers crossed for one of my favourite bands. The John Peel slot they got in 2014 wasn't the best, a smaller tent a little later would suit more. Probably too early for Pond to return.

A two hour slot at the Park would be top. They were immense on their last UK tour.

Now we're talking. Yes, I agree. Seven guitars, a mellotron and a myriad of tambourines. I'm all for it.
