If it was Rockaway Beach, did they advertise it as Pure Phase? I'd be surprised if they planned that for a festival headline set.

 

ps. I'm not sure that Pure Phase wouldn't be noisy outdoors anyway. Even their "quiet" songs can be hugely noisy.

it was initially yeh. think they were trying to advertise it as something different to their previous appearance but all references to pure phase disappeared pretty quickly.

 

still have my fingers crossed for a PP show at PS though

I'd be pretty surprised if they didn't do it. It's advertised as it, and they're so far down the bill that I can't imagine it being an issue.

 

How was the festival? I've been to Shiiine, but Rockaway felt a bit of a trek (from Manchester) so close to Xmas.

No it wasn't, nothing listed as such.

It has its noisy bits but there are a lot of quiet moments.

I think we all know what it sounds like 🙂

This debate came up when they were first announced. I'm in the camp that says that (in a similar way to Massive Attack, or Beach House), their "quiet" songs can still fill a huge outdoor space, without having to ask the crowd to hush. They can still have a lot going on in the quiet sections.

great fest. much older audience. not a party like shine. i’ve been to all ten and it’s grown quite a lot.

 

think it still gets tarred with the slightly uncool butlins weekender vibe but it’s always good fun. it’s on the second of january next year which is super early.
