Clashtopia 2022

[Baggins7]

Dry Cleaning v Wolf Alice

Amyl and the Sniffers v Diana Ross

Seeing Sam Fender and Fontaines later this year which has helped avoid further clashes at the festival

There are probably only two or three things that are my "must not miss". And Jamie T is one. Sadly so is McCartney. 

Likewise. Do you know what you'll do?

I'll almost certainly see Paul, as I've never seen him before and have seen Jamie many times. But I'm such a big Jamie T fan, its such a shame to miss him headline the tent.

Same here. I don't think I would miss McCartney for anyone. Also the chances of seeing Jamie T are higher (and cheaper) than seeing McCartney. 

 

I missed Jamie T in 2015 and I'm still a bit gutted about that.

So far after the first brief look:

Macca & Kurupt FM
TLC & Supergrass

[Soggy_feet]

Just heard Porridge Radio on 6 music and reminded me they clash with Olivia Rodrigo which sucks. More likely i will be able to catch PR in the future than ORod so she wins out. 

[NorwayDave]

Sigrid vs. Arlo Parks

 

As a family travelling from Norway it has to be Sigrid, but missing Arlo is heart-wrenching

[FuzzyDunlop]

Crowded House vs Confidence Man vs Mariachi's. A clash you don't get at many festivals.

[Jetshymotion]

The Sunday night headliner pile-up (after a quietish day, for me at least) is horrendous... Can't miss Kendrick, but PSB, Charli, Suzanne Vega and Courtney Barnett would all have been in my top ten must-sees. And Big Thief across Haim - O-Rod hurts like hell. Big Thief and Courtney prolly my two favourite acts on the line-up and I imagine I'll end up missing both (albeit seeing Courtney a few days later). Beyond those...

Libertines - Matilda Mann

Crowded House - First Aid Kit

Supergrass - TLC - Sigrid

Matilda Mann - Phoebe Bridgers - Saint Etienne - The Undertones - St. Vincent

Fatboy Slim - Khruangbin - PH & JA - Sugababes - Jon Hopkins - TSHA - Billie / Simz / Primal Scream

Diana Ross - Clairo

But I've no doubt whatsoever that it'll be an absolute ball!

[Suprefan]

Safe to say Doja Cat created more clashes than wouldve been there had she not had to cancel.

[BlackZeppelin]

Nightmares on Wax vs Professor Alice Roberts 

[rwhitehouse13]

Friday is clash central for me...

Rufus Wainwright v Wet Leg

Idles v Robert Plant & Alison Krauss v Phoebe Bridgers

Crowded House v Confidence Man v First Aid Kit

And no idea where to go for a headliner that night Foals/Primals/Little Simz/Four Tet all appealing...

[TheNewUnion]

I've learned to accept the clashes over the years. We found ourselves running from one to the other, half a set here and half a set there. Essentially spoiled it for ourselves. Current approach is basically see anyone who you may never get to see again (Macca, Ms Ross) then work out from there. Still one of the best shows our group saw was The Human League at V Festival in about 2009. We had half the group wanting to see one act, half wanted to see another. So we all stuck together and went for a 3rd option, The Human League. One of the most fun shows in about 20 years.

 

tl:dr Pick and Stick, don't run back and forth.

Libs vs Damian Marley is a big one.

Both will be a great way to start the festival.

[WestCountryGirl]

My only significant clash that I've noticed thus far is Olivia Rodrigo / Leon Bridges. Thankfully not the worst as they don't directly overlap, and Other - West Holts isn't the worst sprint to have to make.

If they keep their setlists pretty static as is, I'll be very happy to witness the first part of O-Rod and the latter half of Leon.

I would love to be brave eneough to hold out on Olivia until deja vu and then just nip to Leon's encore, but I'd really like to see more of him than that.

You could easily see the start of Libs and end of Marley as Libs start earlier.

No way you'll catch Damian Marley and the Libs.  You might have a chance of catching Ziggy though... 😉

Ha! At least I didn’t say Bob! 

[blutarsky]

Ignore colours - at this stage I've just highlighted all possibilities. 

My Thursday starts off neatly. Everything on there runs neatly into one another - although obviously I can't teleport so I won't be seeing them all. 

Then we hit Clashageddon 

Worst of the weekend in terms of how much fun it'll be is Bob Vylan vs Mandidextrous. 

Haim and Big Thief are looking tight too - seeing both would go a long way to keeping Mrs B happy. Have to leg it from the Pyramid up to the Park 3/4 through Haim. 

To be fair, I don't have many BIG NAME clashes, but lots among acts that I think will be great fun. I'm going to prioritise based on what I think the vibe created for the gig by the stage and likely crowd will be, and whether I'm likely to be able to catch them elsewhere.

It’s one of the other for me. 

Better to fully get into one set, than split between two.

[Havors]

Foals & Paul Heaton is the big clash for me. 

Plus a potential clash with the TBC on the Park and Elbow...  

[Tranquility of Solitude]

Confess to not understanding folk thinking Libs v Ziggy is even a thing, can’t say I like the Libertines at all but Ziggy, first up on Pyramid.... I think it could be absolutely epic. Check out his latest setlist

Redemption Song on the Pyramid, beer in hand, sun out, to kick off my festival? All over it.

OK yeah, that set list is superb. 
 

Pitching up in Big Ground this year, for the first time ever. 
 

Might make our decision very easy!

Why did you have to tell me he does Redemption Song!! I'm meant to be removing clashes not adding them!!! 😄
