looking through the line up… saw godspeed
I’ve gone all in for this All Points East festival in Victoria Park (plus the standalone concert by The National the weekend after), pretty much to stop me from feeling too blue about missing Primavera when the line-up is announced.
If the site layout and the sound are half decent it could be awesome - the lineup is strong. I’d be pretty happy with what they’ve announced as a Primavera upper-card, which is a pretty good indicator of what I think of a festival, and presumably more acts to be announced.
It is a London festival, however, so am half-expecting it to be a complete waste of my time and money
yeah cba with godspeed at all but loads of good stuff otherwise
Have fun at Jabberwocky 2018!
(Only kidding, seems like a professional and well run affair. Hope they pull it off and it improves on Field Day)
Not a summer festival but go to Le Guess Who. It’s brilliant and Utrecht is lovely and the Dutch are just a great bunch o’ lads.
oh fuck yeah I really should try and get to this to see You Fail Me in full
I need to go to Le Guess Who this year! It really seems like something I would enjoy.
Book some accommodation now then. Something you can cancel if need be. Utrecht is worse than Barcelona for finding reasonably priced accommodation during a festival.
Just remembered about Rewire in The Hague
Nicely sized and crazy cheap, went a few years ago and saw the Under the Skin score performed live in a huge cathedral which was amazing.
Are you going?
$0
Tell me about it!
Rewire is classs been the last few years.
highlight probs Xiu Xiu playing Twin Peaks in 2016
How about supersonic? Thinking of going this year .
That was the same year as Under the Skin! Great stuff.
Might go to Handmade Festival in Leicester- Protomartyr, The Oreilles and Big Moon.
The Primavera lineup is fine, but it’s going to resemble a lot of similar European ones this year by the looks of it so there’s not much of a pull for me.
Does anyone know of any similar ones where I could stay in a ‘city’, that doesn’t require camping? A couple of the Scandinavian ones look tempting but they’re expensive countries generally.
Forbidden Fruit is incredibly hit and miss. Chances of it lashing rain at it are around 50%. I’m from Ireland and gave up on it years ago.
