Already said before, a journalist covering boxing for SSN that loves music asked an artist if he was going to be there and was told he'd been approached to play a stage against Foo Fighters.
Gallus are a good time, they’re a nice bunch as well. They’ve been doing a lot on the European circuit last two years, wonder if they’ll get a decent sized break soon.
They’re a funny one.
Every man and his dog has seen them, multiple times. And they’ve only really got two great albums in them.
I think there’s a lot of apathy to their new material, and going to see them on tours - but if they’re at big festival and aren’t up against any big names then they’d hoover up a big crowd I reckon.
People won’t go out their way to see them anymore, but if you have tens of thousands of people who are already there and at least like them… a mid afternoon slot on Pyramid / Other would be a good time.
Some absolutely violent clashes on there for me - honestly I don’t know if I would love the line up or vehemently hate it for the clashes.
Nigh on everyone I would want to see clashes with or overlaps with someone.
It's still early days with only 19 bands announced, but wow those headliners are poor IMO... Couldn't think of a better cure for insomnia than a Sharon van Etten headline set, and the less said about Self Esteem the better 😐 Caribou would have been a very good headliner in the early 10s but hasn't really done anything great since Swim.
The undercard is decent though - Emma-Jean Thackray, Geordie Greep, Goat, John Maus and Mohammad Syfkhan all get a thumbs up from me. Hopefully Geordie and/or Goat will be topping the Garden Stage so I can watch those instead of the Woods Stage headliners.
