I feel like I'm very late to the party on this one but been deep diving into all her albums and they are fantastic. Haven't seen her mentioned much but she should be massive right? Nearly every song is a pop banger! Now really excited about seeing her, anyone here seen her live before?

[FakeEmpire]

I saw her at Brixton Academy just before Covid and can confirm it was an absolute blast. She's going to be so great in that spot.

I'm still to torn between that and Texas on the Pyramid. Childhood nostalgia there & I've never seen them before.

[whateverworksout]

she should be one of the main pop girlies, her albums are no skips!! i think call me maybe and i really like you put people off from going much deeper, but run away with me is one of the greatest pop songs ever written 

[brettredmayne]

Saw her on the current tour at Leeds and was great, she is a must see for me 

[CaledonianGonzo]

She's ace. Attendance will depend on whether the group is taking in Texas to secure Foo proximity. If not I'll be down the front with an inflatable sword.

[glimmers_of_hope]

Yeah, looks like it will be a blast. Glad she is good live, I could see this set being so much fun on a sunny afternoon. 

[glimmers_of_hope]

Just watched some of her videos as well and they look really good.  Always life discovering great new music that has passed me by. 

[Amy Lawn]

she's gonna be the set of the weekend. on tour earlier this year she'd really stepped up her game, one of my favourite ever concerts. go see her or be a square

[Drinky]

She’s a must see for us. I hope the pull of people wanting to get a good spot for the Churnups doesn’t cannibalize her crowd too much.

[MEGABOWL]

Been getting into her a lot since she was announced. Really looking forward to it.

Have no idea how she isn’t huge.

[king_oxymoron]

I’ve actually seen her name on here way more than I expected on peoples must sees since announcement, which is great to see.

 

This will be my fifth or sixth time seeing her and it always is such JOY, she’s a great performer and just a good egg, Also, all, CRJ fans will tell you that Call Me Maybe (while it will be a moment at an event like this) is well amongst her worst songs, genuinely not a highlight in her repertoire.

Run Away With Me, Cut To The Feeling and some of the lesser known album tracks are where her genius lie. I am CERTAIN that many people don’t know what she has in her arsenal - if you want something different to explosive pop, check out songs like ‘Comeback’, ‘Now I Don’t Hate California After All’, ‘Bends’, ‘Keep Away’… she’ll do precisely none of them in this set but that’s not the point haha 

 

 

[Drinky]

Excited for this, playing a lot of CRJ in the run up. She played a 70 minute festival set a couple of weeks back:

Surrender My Heart
Joshua Tree
Run Away With Me
Too Much
Talking to Yourself
Emotion / Favourite Colour
Call Me Maybe
Stay Away
Bends
Western Wind
I Really Like You
Want You in My Room
Beach House
The Loneliest Time
Cut to the Feeling

We'll probably lose three songs - I guess any three from Joshua Tree, Too Much, Stay Away and Bends? - but what a setlist.

Mr.Robot has solidified Run Away With Me as a goated song

[Joshuwarr]

Fully expecting Cut To The Feeling to be one of the most magic moments of the weekend. Also, unless he's abroad I could totally see Rufus Wainwright making an appearance for The Loneliest Time.

BUZZING.

[Amy Lawn]

That setlist is p similar to the one from the Manchester concert in February

I'm excited! She's my number 1 of the weekend I think.

The only thing missing for me there would be Boy Problems, one of the catchiest songs of the 2010s.

Regardless, this is going to be of the sets of the weekend, Carly has such an infectious positive energy that I can't wait for.

[fightoffyour]

My lineup highlight for sure. Could do with I Didn't Just Come Here To Dance in there though.

Been discussing Texas with a pal.  Been listening to the ol' greatest hits and they're definitely one of those bands with more songs than you think.  We had a blast at Crowded House last year, and can see them turning in a similar vibe.

Feel similarly. She has played it at some shows this year so I am really hoping we get it next week!

[Festival Liam]

I am very torn - massive fan who finally saw her on her last tour. So my choice is - see the same set again, or see Texas for a nostalgia fest (or, go see Pale Waves who I also love, but basically binned that one off). Think both will be amazing. Why did they clash all 3? 😌 Especially when there's bugger all else I want to see on Friday.

Feel like the clashes are particularly bad this year - I want to see Shygirl and Fred, two acts that make sort of alternative/ accessible dance music but Shygirl eats into Fred and is on the Park.

I wonder if they were spooked by the crowds/ complaints about them last year and are trying to schedule similar acts at the same time this year. See: Courteeners/ Foo Fighters so Woodsies isn't rammed.

I wouldn't say they are any worse this year (after all, Texas and Carly are hardly that similar an act like if they'd clashed Carly and e.g. Rina Sawayama). There's always a few hideous clashes. Although I am sure most years a couple are deliberate, especially for the bigger acts like Fred or Elton.

Cut To The Feeling is always amazing live!
