Wonder if Thom Yorke will get wheeled out for a few...

I'd be doubtful, she's not exactly a spectacle kind of performer and she hardly ever plays anything from Stories From The City 😞

(In fact she's only played We Float, my favourite track, once according to Setlist.fm)

[Joey Peeps]

I like her but struggling to find the oomph to see her on the Pyramid tbh. Park I'd be all over it.

That's a travesty.  Think it's my favourite album of hers and We Float is a storming track. 😞

It's an odd choice for the Pyramid. 

 

They do this sometimes and you just wish it was somewhere more suited.

I know that the last tour has been like that + I'm sure that you are right there will be more songs from the new album than back catalogue but I think her festival setlist will be a bit more mixed than 90% new album.  

I don't think it'll be a greatest hits set but more like 50/50 split.  As mentioned upthread, she has been playing 2 set's, one of the new album and then one of back catalogue so the band have rehearsed and being playing old songs live.

PJ Harvey is not a 'greatest hits' artist. Her last tours also revolved around the most recent album, which she played almost in full. Last time she played The Hope Six Demolition Project almost entirely, plus 3 Let England Shake songs, plus 2 older ones. 

 

It's safe to say her set will be mostly about performing Inside The Old I Dying (with is a great album by the way). And that one sounds lovely live:

Just given the new album a spin whilst on a run.  I like it, but it's music for a Scandi-Noir serial killer box set, not a Pyramid performance.  Would go over much, much better in a pitch dark tent at midnight.

Is she good live or a bit over indulging?

Ive heard the latter

Just watch the liveshow a few posts earlier. It's from the tour that will bring her to Glastonbury this year.

Man Size and Dress from the above concert wow ace!

 

 

Hope we get them next month!

She'd almost certainly be the single only act I'd see on Pyramid, so I expect to be there!

All this talk is making me want to see her, as a challenging alternative. Chance of a guest too? Nick Cave?

Assumed you'd be all in for LCD.

Embarrassingly, just one of those artists I've never really taken the time to get into, so they kind of passed me by. There are a few artists/bands in that inexplicable list for me 🫣.

Didn't they have quite an acrimonious break-up?  I'd suspect they wouldn't be on great terms if so.

Just watched this, and really enjoyed it. Thanks for the link. I saw her many years ago, when I was a kid and just starting to go to concerts and she was playing with the Family Cat, and have followed her since without seeing her play live. She's definitely on my list this year, but I'm just not sure how this kind of performance would translate to a Pyramid-sized crowd in daytime.

[Olshansky]

They're in rehearsals right now for summer tour shows - i suspect they will be mixing it up a bit from the last leg of the tour, which was theatres (and yes, definitely a set more suited for a dark tent)

If I had to guess I would expect a dozen or so songs on the livelier end of things.

No chance of a Nick Cave drop in, you can be sure of that.   

 

She's one of my favorite artists of all time, and I trust her completely to deliver a set worthy of the pyramid.  She knows what she's doing.

Playing live at Primavera now. Started off with 3 new then 3 from Let England Shake. There's a live stream somewherw

On amazon or on Twitch. Same as the rest of the day

[Fearless_Fish]

So, started off with 8 newer ones, then 10 from around her back catalogue. She killed it TBF. She played 75 mins so probably chopping 4 songs off this set list

 

 

[4AssedMonkey]

If that’s the core of the setlist, I’m out. Probably only 2 of my 10 faves in that. 😔

[Nuthugger]

bit boring for a festival isnt she? id listen to her at home.while being pensive and sipping a whiskey. not a glasto classic tho

[Olshansky]

I'm pleased as punch. 

She hasnt played Black Hearted Love since 09. 

I know I'm in the minority on this, but I think he work has only gotten better over the years.  I'm really looking forward to hearing these new songs 

[Walter Sobchak]

She needs to drop more of those new slow numbers for the Pyramid 

[Drinky]

Rufus Wainwright crowd size vibes if she opens with those three
