Hmmm. They wouldn't typically reach the properly loud post-rock of Mogwai, I don't think. Yes, there are elements of Sigur Ros in there, especially Valtari-era, I guess. But I still feel that Low are the closest touchpoint for me (and that can only be an endorsement!), but with more of an ambient, looping feel to the tracks, rather than the slightly more conventional verse-chorus structure that Low will use, albeit in very much a slowcore model*.

Twelve. Maybe thirteen. A few more if you count crew.

Would these acts want to be on at 11am, which is likely when Last Dinner Party will be on....?

More like First Dinner Party then

Just realised they've planted over 1k trees in the area alone. That's quite an enlargement 😯

Not really it seems to have the same footprint when I visited  … they are just replacing the dead ash trees 

[Twiggy553]

You plant trees pretty close together initially and thin them out as they get bigger. Only needs 2 acres or less to plant 1000 new trees

Oh okay, well then, as you were Woodsies.

Sounded much more impressive in their blurb, haha.

I was thinking this.  Not a headline level act IMO.  Other than Tilted (which was an OK song, stood on the shoulders of an ace video) I don't think I've heard much else of their output and not really liked any of it.

I think when Tilted first came out and they were on things like Jools, it all seemed original and good to watch on TV.  Then everything subsequently just seemed more of the same.  And without the interest of being able to see the dance moves (unless you're right at the front), it seems even less appealing really.

I love them and had a great time in there while Dave Grohl and the boys were on the Pyramid the other year but the crowd was sparse back then! I think Phoenix’s stock has slightly fallen as well.

I've been to a few headliners in the JP tent that were up against big names on the Pyramid, and it's great!   For me at least.  I'm sure the bands would have liked a few more people but they were always grateful to those that came to see them, and I loved being able to get to near the front AND nip off for a wee if I needed to!

Have we seen someone go from Other headliner to Other afternoon fodder before? Because that appears to be what we're seeing with Alt-J

[efcfanwirral]

Coming round to Courteeners in Woodsies. 3 times they've played their fans have been taken by whats going on just before or after them. 

2013 - crossed over with the start of arctic monkeys, JP to Pyramid but we left with 3 songs to go and had some real trouble getting in the field at that pinch point

2015- had to leave early to go to Libertines (not planned but happened) 

2019  sandwiched in between Liam Gallagher and The Killers on the Other. it was possible if you're fast like we were but not ideal

Just in the tent late afternoon is way better. If you like them the atmosphere should be good

Oooooooo could be? A very cheeky hint if it is.

Can't they just sub?

Would make sense, still rare though (unless you mean sub Pyramid, which I think is ruled out)

I kind of feel they've fallen off dramatically to a point? Not exactly a hip man myself, but nobody seems particularly bothered about them anymore.

Proud of myself predicting slowdive on Sunday before somebody followed with the 5pm slot, just before editors I belive

[sauceageroll]

The Murder Capital early Friday afternoon will be a rare treat. Still full of vigour and enough energy to dance hard.
