Matt seems much more accomplished as a front man these days.
Does he have a thing against wireless microphones? Tim Booth had one. Everytime I see them there are 1 or 2 poor guys trying deal with the mic cable.
Yeah, I don't get it either. I was told on eFests by the previous owner that WH stopped being able to book bigger acts (at the time obv) like Ceelo Green, Big Boi, Black Eyed Peas, the Jacksons because they were then taken to bigger stages like Pyramid or Other for a wider audience.
Maybe it's really just a case of the perfect storm of not having enough of a pool of artists to choose from this summer, the need for ticking boxes for diversity sake, and just plain poor scheduling.
Friday night at the Dragonfly. Simply perfect. Joy O into a thumping set from HAAi and KiKi, topped off by Amelie Lens is the stuff of dreams - love the spider but this was next level.
Yeah, share the same sentiment as everyone else here. This is my third time seeing them, the Primavera show in 2022 was effectively impossible to beat, but i think they managed it last night. Lots of chat about how great they've been on this tour, and I completely agree.
The new albums aren't great, but they do sound massively improved live. Eucalyptus was excellent.
Highlights of the set, and my weekend, were Abel, Mr November (obviously), and the somehow, still improving rendition of About Today
