Fred Again

 

Is this the start Fred Again got too big too quick so he’s not cool (or contemporary) anymore?

He's not a Pyramid headliner.

Fred Again might be massive now but let's see where he stands a few years down the line. Look at what happened to Disclosure.

As much as I don’t think Fred will ever ascend to top The Pyramid, he’s in a different stratosphere to what Disclosure ever were.

He was emmm interesting enough for ten mins at Electric Picnic when he headlined there in Sept. 50/60k crowd.

Likeable bloke, two or three good tunes, the fidgety drum machine schtick is tiresome.

Has anyone considered whether Foals are big enough to headline? Would love to see some analysis on that.

Only good tune of his I've heard is Jungle, in fact it stands out so much I question if it's actually his.

Yeh it is his. I don't mean to be a moan about him, really looked forward to his show last month. He just doesnt have the material.

Madonna was amazing tonight and on time. Nothing untouched on production. And given I had a cheap seat the view wasn't the worst. There was only one song she was slightly off key on.

Do I think they will get her to do a stripped back show that much for Glastonbury?, no I don't. 

I think these shows are only going to lead to stadium shows next year which won't allow it on their part anyway.

I'm a big fan of Foals I love there music. But thinking objectively definitely not a headline sized act.  In all honesty I think they are only just popular enough for the Other Stage headline slot they did. I think that is about there limit, in all honesty.

It’s a bit of a running joke on here, he’s not being serious. You’re right though.

I’ve never quite got the foals discussion … horses for courses isn’t it surely 

[Drinky]

Feels like it’s run its course

He has only been about for 2-3 years - he's obviously not headlining yet

Lots of people will have loved it even if you didn't - he just did 50k at ally pally (a record)

Did she have anyone supporting? Or just her? 

[Hotchilidog]

Just Madge. Bob the drag queen does a bit of intro though. The category is......Madonna

[cdm22]

We had Diplo DJing beforehand last night too but nothing too exciting.

 

[nikkic]

Cheers both, no need to rush then!

Nope. I only got in there at 8:40. I'd definitely say it's worth missing the last night if you need to hit transport. The like a virgin MJ segment is class.
