I’m gutted I missed….

The War on Drugs. They had been on my must-see list since the line-up drop but when Sunday night came I got wrapped up in the plans to make sure I would be with my friends for Elton, and didn't want to risk missing anything, so gave TWOD up. Can just about bear it because I know I'll see them again, who knows, hopefully at Glasto at some point.

Joanne Shaw Taylor. Bit of a convoluted clash - I always watch Stephen Frost Impro Allstars and really wanted to go this year following the death of Andy Smart. They do shows Friday and Saturday, and I chose Billy NoMates on Friday, then the Allstars on Saturday. Only watched 20 minutes of Billy NoMates in the end, so I wish I’d gone to Astrolabe which would have freed me up for JST on Saturday.

Other than that it’s the obvious QOTSA and alt-J on Sunday. Was never missing Elton though.

1. QOTSA (Due to Reg) - Seeing them in November though

2. Viagra Boys (Clashed with the Hu)

3. Candi Staton (Elton Clash of sorts)

4. TWOD (see above)

Sunday was absolutely stacked.

5. Texas (Clashed with DJ Yoda)

I really want to see DJ Yoda, how was it? Saw the first part of Texas and then headed to Levels to catch some of Jayda G

The War on Drugs. Sacked them off to make sure I was in the Pyramid field for Elton, much like a lot of others, by the sound of it, only for a last minute change of heart to see QOTSA instead. 

What a mistake-a to make-a. 

TWOD had a criminally small crowd too, for obvious reasons. Absolutely perfect sunset conditions, as well. It'll sting for some time, that one.

Rick Astley/Blossoms sing The Smiths. Knew nothing about it until too late. Looked and sounded amazing on iplayer! 

Personally if you've seen The Smyths before then you didn't miss much here. It was okay but unless you actually sound like The Smyths it's just a tribute/novelty act. The Smyths are far superior.

DJ Yoda was brilliant. It was the history of hop hop in chronological order, but with some added extras. When samples were re used, he put them all in  (I.E. The message / Check your self / Players).

He lobbed in Tina Turner - Whats love got to do with it which went down well. Inspector Gadget, but the Highlight was the Imperial Death March mixed to Usher...Yeah.

Atmosphere was banging too.

In hindsight Loyle Carner would have been a much better bet on the Saturday evening than Christine and the Queens. CATQ was more an impressive bit of theatre than a festival stage headline show, and it was difficult to feel engaged when the whole thing was based around the relatively challenging new stuff. (On me rather than on him obviously - artists can play what they want)
