Same for Birmingham, love that Jack is still playing relatively small venues when he could comfortably play arenas, hate that it makes it virtually impossible to snag tickets
I’ve been expecting this to come out from someone so I’ll do our traditional end of year favourites. Top 10 or 20 albums (Released in 2024) and your song of the year! If I can I’ll do a best of eFestivals chart compilation. I’m looking forward to finding a gem or two I’ve missed!
Went to the Zeitgeist festival in Nijmegen last Saturday, really solid line-up. My three favourite acts:
- Ditz: intense vibe. Reminded me of Daughters, but also definitely some overlap with Idles and Fontaines DC. Can't wait for their new album in January.
- Snapped Ankles: I was looking forward to this band the most. I still have no clue what happened, but boy, it was awesome! The way they're building up songs works very good. Only knew one of their songs though, anyone know if they're working on a new album?
- Enola Gay: like a blend of Rage Against The Machine and Kneecap, great energy!
Although I did talk to others and almost everyone seemed to have enjoyed Sprints, Geordie Greep en Porridge Radio more haha.
If, indeed, the tent even exists in 2025.
One thing Latitude festival here in the UK has done previously is to start the headliner at 8pm with a finish around 9.30pm and then have an EDM set for an hour between 10pm and 11pm - but that act isn't classed as the headliner.
They did it with Stereophonics followed by Underworld a few years ago and are doing it again in 2025 with Sting followed by Basement Jaxx.
