Saw Biig Piig in Birmingham on Saturday night -- the opening date of her headline tour in support of debut album 11:11 released earlier this month. She put on a great show, bundles of energy and was obviously blown away by the reception given by the few hundred fans gathered in the O2 Institute2. Could see her slotting in to early-mid afternoon on Woodsies, Park or Avalon. Would go down a storm I reckon.
First time (recently? perhaps ever?) I've seen an artist properly come back for an encore after finishing and replaying a song from earlier in the set (Switch) cos obviously she and the band hadn't reckoned on needing to prep an encore track and they'd already played the Big Ones!
I’ve still got fingers crossed that Raye will be added . She’s not got a Portugal date this summer and I think it’s unlikely she will be doing MEO as she’s in the USA Just a few days before and not starting her European run until July .
The only one that really stands out for me was Janet Jackson, really disappointing and still annoyed that I missed Lizzo for it!
See a few people nominating Gorillaz, have never understood this, it remains one if my favourite shows I have seen at Glastonbury, but then I really loved Plastic Beach then and now so maybe that’s why it worked for me.
