Have to agree. Was at that gig myself with my son & thought it was great. Voice was fine. I was in the 'mosh pit' at the front - great views and loads of room.....and no moshing, obviously!
totally recognise he can have his off days.
I am old enough to have seen them when they were in Belfast first time round - Maysfield Leisure Centre, 1990. One of my first gigs ever. I was agog & in awe! Still sends shivers up me spine thiking about it! They entered on 'I wanna be adored' (oh, those chords as they rang out!!) & played out with a stonking 'I am the resurrection'. Oh, bliss.

I was in Belfast for this also, God it was a great gig..I remember the bus back down to Dublin afterwards and the country bumpkin not realising that alot of people were tripping their heads off...
Saw them in Bennicassim a couple of years ago and they were great, voice was flat but the crowd just sang along anyway !! Warm weather, beer and a good crowd really helped !!

Paid my last instalment on the 2nd of March, have the tickets been sent out yet??
Normally wouldn't be asking this early on, but I did see a few pages back some have got theres.

My last instalment came out last month too and no tickets yet so I'd say it might be closer to August.

Death Grips would be an incredible booking, they haven't played here since the Money Store was released and it looked for a long time like they were done for good. Whether they were good or not their show would be a huge talking point.

ghostdancer

probably have to do a final farewell tour first before they play EP :rolleyes:

James Bay is anti music.

I was at that gig, it was fantastic although it was minus Zach Hill. I really wanna see the three of them there ripping it up. It's unlikely, given how unpredictable they are. Bookers probably aren't flocking towards them.

The Maccabees need to play EP. Their new single is outstanding

Lol - harsh but kinda fair

The best introduction I've heard was..


"Ladies and gentleman,

Take off your thinking cap and lower your standards....

It's Kidd Rock!"

Adding to my wishlist: Bjork, Panda Bear, Kendrick Lamar, Jamie xx, of Montreal, Modest Mouse, The Mountain Goats, Laura Marling, Death Cab for Cutie, Passion Pit, Blur, Foals, the Weeknd, Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

Most have albums out this year.

Obviously Foals played last year so are probably out and others have gigs coming up (The Mountain Goats, Laura Marling, Modest Mouse etc) but just one of these would make my weekend.

Good wishlist! Tried to get into Foals many times though and it's just not happening!

I'm the same, a part from 'My Number' there is not one other song of theirs I can warm to

I was a big fan back in the day, I had tickets to see them in Punchestown but it got cancelled for some reason.

My Number is probably one of the worst songs on Holy Fire imo. I'd recommend checking out Late Night from Holy Fire and Afterglow which is off Total Life Forever.

Though this is quite irrelevant as they won't be playing this year after playing last year, as much as I'd love to see them again, they killed it last year, great live performers!

siblers

Foals were my highlight of the weekend, maybe it was because they played the Friday night and got EP off and running for me but thought they put on a great show. London Grammar a close second.

mgkelly

Foals have played at least a couple of times now. I saw them time before last. They were in one of the tents & the place was stuffed. They were brilliant & one of the best things I've ever seen live. Totally unexpected, too, which made it all the better. Had only heard a little of their stuff prior to that. Reminded me a wee bit of Doves, actually.

Bjork - there last year (& one of my highlights - magnificent; almost a 'spiritual' experience!), so not this year??

Hang on a sec. Did I miss Bjork last year?!

mgkelly

That video is very RATM. Assume that that is their modus operandi?

No, I'm the idiot! Seemed like last year (fresh in me head!) but was year before. So, sorry, & therefore, she could appear this year!!
