Flux was a single, so of course it got way more radio play than album track Price of Gasoline.

That said, I do get your point. I'd much rather a setlist with 7 or 8 tracks from Silent Alarm and a few other* singles like Flux/The Prayer/Hunting For Witches/One More Chance/One Month Off, than the full 13 Silent Alarm tracks. They've toured Silent Alarm in full twice now. Just play the bangers at a festival.

 

*no singles from the last 3 albums plz

E: I thought people were talking about opening Other. A standard Woodsies set billed as SA in full is fine I guess. Would still prefer a mix for a secret set/Other opener.

Opening with Song for Clay, obviously...

Feel like I’m at a familiar point in the cycle here. As we get close to poster time I have a long list of acts who are touring and could play, that probably couldn’t realistically fit on the bill in appropriate positions. Then when the poster drops I’m disappointed they’re not all there. 
 

Then I dig into the names and discover new stuff, and zero in on the big names on the bill I do want to see. Get more and more excited as it gets closer.

Then the full line up comes out and loads of them clash.

Then I switch to checking the weather forecast every 7 minutes.

Then I have an amazing time despite forgetting acts I wanted to see.

 

Its the circle of life.

I know quoting yourself is bad form but many of you are just at the last sentence of the first paragraph above

But also plenty who're disappointed because they're very familiar with the large majority of acts on the poster. London Grammar headlining a stage like it's still 2011 or something.

James Blake ffs

Mannequin Pussy are quite good though in fairness.

Quite a bit of overlap to be fair, must be similar sources.

West Holts headliners were reconfirmed (three Js), also Squid high up on West Holts on the Fri.

Park I THINK Fontaines headlining or subbing. Hoping this isn’t true, but sounds like The Smile may not be doing it. I had them nailed for headlining Park but apparently not happening. We’ll see though.

Woodsies Sat headliner is Gossip, Sleaford subbing and Yard Act before them.

Any idea what time Squid are playing on Friday? Was surprised to see them so low down on the poster since they’re playing fairly high up.

I assume not subbing the Pyramid...

Looked back at the messages I received on Squid and it says ‘Squid West Holts on Friday in TV slot’, so I took TV slot to mean fairly high up on the bill.

That's fantastic news. Brilliant band. Could be my elusive Saturday night headliner!

Think it was third top, but might be wrong.

Am I the only one who really hopes there isn't a "Churnups-type" slot this year? I really think the set last year was a one off and will be glad to not have it being constantly mentioned in future years.

Of course there will be secret sets etc but it isn't going to become an annual thing where a headline level act plays during the day in the pyramid (under alias or not)

Wahayyy.

 

Now we can leave the 'churnups-type slot' talk in the past.

*cutting off one of my bollocks *

 

"Wahayyy!  Now I no longer have a two bollocks problem and can leave having two bollocks in the past"

[Nobby's Old Boots]

Seems sane.
