One of the best sets of the weekend, but I knew it would be. Fourth time seeing them for me and it just concreted my love of them. When I saw them in Bristol earlier this year I was second row and the intensity of their performance and their anger made me feel physically uncomfortable, for a band to have that impact on their audience is incredible! 

I mentioned to someone that they were very much a punk band (even if the music isnt)

You have described why perfectly.

It didnt make me feel uncomfortable. It made me feel like I could run through a wall & was fired up... but I understand your point.

Does anyone know the name of the song they played at 36 minutes? I’ve watched it back on iPlayer but no song name! It was a female vocalist. Thanks!

Couldn't help wondering if Gareth Gates watched them and whether he has revised his opinion of them yet.

Just had to google this! What an absolute little thunderc**t Garath Gates is 🤣

I mean I never considered him the great arbiter of taste or anything but it was one of the oddest tweets I had ever seen which is why it has always stuck with me. I mean he's famous enough to know that it would be noticed and I reckon they'd take him in a fight. 😄

I think we absolutely need proof of this, perhaps in the Temple on a sunday afternoon, in a pile of tomatoes 😄

Gutted I missed them...they were on my 'would like to see' list but so was Fred which coincided with friends' plans. However after watching the set on iPlayer, have treated myself to a Sunday Bluedot day ticket...chuffed that I now have both them and a new festival to look forward to.

One of the best sets of the weekend for me.  Almost skipped it to watch Sparks, and then thought about splitting the time between them.  I've seen Young Fathers a few times but had never seen Sparks.  In the end we watched the whole Young Fathers set and I'm so glad I did.  Didn't matter how many times I've seen them, it was superb.

So...that went well...given Bluedot stopped day ticket holders to enter the site yesterday! Ah well, I'll keep my eyes peeled for new dates when they get back from the States...

see them in a nice echo-y hall, it really does the drums good.  🙂

That was unlucky, though looking at pictures from the site, a sensible decision.

Fingers crossed you get to see them soon

They still have tickets, bring you own(allocated pitch) and pre-pitched camping options, but only for multi day ticket holders.

Quite a good line up across all three days.

Oh I wish sadly it's in gigs banned time as one of my dogs is really scared of fireworks so we can't leave her on her own from end of October until late November and it's annoying how many people tour in that window every year!!

Hmmm I’m tempted but that would mean 3 gigs in a week.

Not sure that’ll fly!
