on the point of godspeed, it just seems like recently they've veered away from traditional festivals. Don't think there's any falling out, they probably just prefer their own shows.

I saw them this week, and it was very heavy on their new album. They played maybe 8 songs in 2 hours - considering festivals would maybe just give them an hour or so, it would be difficult for them to do their set justice which is probably why they’re sitting festivals out on this tour.

Yeah exactly, was recently at the Manchester gig and it was excellent, a 1hr Godspeed show would be rubbish.

Don't know. I would actually love a 1hr new album set without the 15min drone intro and 20min drone outro. It just gets very formulaic after 15 years. But indeed they probably don't want to do that, hence favour playing smaller indoor festivals.

Godspeed still does occasional outdoor festivals with a one hour set: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/godspeed-you-black-emperor/2022/central-park-atlanta-ga-7bb65abc.html

 

Hell, they even opened for NIN one year and only played for 45 minutes.

A 1.5 song support set - that’s unheard of.
