[Claire0406]

I swear they do every festivals but the ones I go to, been on my bucket list for years, and yes I know Keith isn’t there anymore but it still looks immense! 2 times I was meant to see them it didn’t happen, I was ill once and sadly Kieth passed, then headlining boomtown and cancelled and now on every line up poster since apart from the ones I’m going to. Please Glasto I beg get them!!!

Definitely one I'm hoping for too.  I was expecting them this year, but the fact they are still doing festivals next year gives me hope that they'll make an appearance.

Everyone hoped for them last year, then this year - hopefully next year it happens

Saw them during The Jilted Generation Tour, would love to see them again.

They lose a lot of their sting without Keith, for me 😢

Their set at Reading this year looked absolutely amazing!! 

[Stokesy10]

Seen them once, Leeds 2009, it was f**king phenomenal. 

 

For those who've seen them without Keith, what are your thoughts? 

 

I'd very likely have them on my wishlist on Clashfinder, but it would largely depend on who's up against them. Not many could prize me away from seeing them headline Other, though.

 

Maybe Daphne & Celeste.

I saw them at Brixton without Keith (R.I.P you beautiful man) and they were banging. Plus Keith was there!!!!! Kind of

i haven't personally, but i know a few that saw them at IOW and a couple more at Reading and apparently they were fantastic, at Reading they apparently had people leaving Blink 182 to run pver to watch them instead.

Think they've dropped below Other headliner level now unfortunately.

i would disagree to be honest, Disclosure headlined the Other Stage last year. I think they would pull more people than perhaps you think.

I saw them at Ally Pally last year and they were great and still pretty electric. I did not particularly think they were poorer without Keith. However, the last time I seen them was back in 1996. Seen them a few times in the 90's and to be fair all I remember is that I enjoyed seeing them back then but can't recall many details to compare if they are now better or worse or pretty much the same.

100%

Just watched the set from IOW this year and they really impressed me!! Sounded and looked insane. Firestarter was a powerful moment . Maxim stood motionless while the music played (no vocals but Keith's silhouette lighting up on the screens).

Nah. They've just been announced to headline 50,000 capacity Boardmasters.

 

They're well within the range, if anything in the upper half of the range, of Other headliners.

Manchester next month will be my 43rd time.

 

I haven't got a ticket for Glastonbury, so stick your money on them playing.

There is definitely a difference in the dynamic. Maxim carries it well to a certain degree but as a trio they were obviously stronger. They've upped the production levels since Keef's passing, that's probably deliberate and the tribute section is really well done. Nothing over the top, quite simple really. 

 

My only slight critique sans Keef is the lack of a varied setlist. It's pretty much been the same for the past two years. Desperately hoping to see a few rarities get thrown in on this next run of shows. Give me "Break and Enter", "Music Reach 1234", "Hyperspeed", "Gabba"... 

 

Without Keef though, it's still an incredible show. I'd certainly recommend anyone who hasn't seen them, give them a go.

 

It'll be 16 years since the last time at the G...maybe, just maybe?
