The 1975 on now from Redding on BBC iPlayer, Jesus they are crap.
Not a great fan of Charlie XCX style music but she was at least entertaing earlier.

I've tried. I've really tried. But they are not good. I am a bit obsessed with Mitski at the mo so whoever recommended her, cheers!

Also I will either be wearing kiss, iron maiden, guns n roses or Otto from the simpsons

One more for Stillill42. Yet another Irish punk band on the Picnic bill but unsure which stage. The NME did an article on the Irish punk scene in December, focused on four new bands - Fontaines, Just Mustard, Murder Capital and these guys. Worth checking I reckon.

I was a bit pissed of with them changing salty dog and LBT to can free zones. I think that having a few cans at the salty dog on a Sunday afternoon or at the last gig belting out pogues songs made it a success.
But getting rid of the Heineken cold rooms is too far. I liked having ice cold cans at mid day and getting ready to start the day. I can’t handle warm cans anymore. I will always spend the same in their bars and like the lads said before I’m sure I’ve been robbed before the days of revolut.
I also don’t trust tesco to have unlimited ice. All the talk last year of contactless payments and I remember feeling like John snow at the battle of the bastards at the atm.
Still buzzing for it but this will be my last ep for a long while until they get their **** together and I’ve been to the last 3 and started going in 2009.
Only way they could make it better would be to announce alabama shakes��
Got a great Pink Floyd dark side of the moon tshirt I will try to fit into!

Their lead singer Brittany Howard is playing.

Irish Punk scene is huge at the minute, wouldn't even put the Fontaine's in there right now as the punk scene is a lot heavier, Audible Joe's are bloody brilliant and after that we have Powpig

One of my favourite punk memories was in 1983 at Nightmoves in Glasgow, The Birthday Party's debut gig in Scotland and Nick Cave's first group, a mental audience. Birthday Party should give their dues to John Peel, it was how me and my mate learned about them through listening to his radio show.

1975 must be worst headliner ever for EP, from LCD, Portishead, Prodigy to this!

I am incredibly happy about this.
I did not see her🀣
I was checking Alabama’s schedule seeing if they were coming to Europe on multiple occasions in the last year. Willing to fly.
This has cheered me up no end🀩
Thanks Seathrun66

Good to see Charlie XCX singing live:pac:

Ha ha. Easily. Struggling to think of any act coming close in the fifteen years of EP.

Hope it's just click bait, forecast for cold polar air from next Friday on.

No trouble. Hope you enjoy it. She's not doing the Shakes material as far as I'm aware as she has a solo album out in Sept. Should be a decent gig nonetheless.

Shouldn't they be directing that towards Trump rather than us?

Going to see Jerry Fish, The Frank & Walters, and The Stunning tomorrow. Training for the real thing.

Don't be worrying. This is what MT Cranium has to say:

'The further outlook is rather uncertain but looks fairly promising now with the cooler trend rather on latest guidance, possibly back to mostly sunny skies by Friday 30th and the weekend of 31st August into 1st of September, and highs in the low 20s.'

Yes indeed, Seathrun. They sound good. List operating on a one in, one out basis. Next week will be merciless.

ive loads of time for charli,
she's never claimed to be a good singer,
openly admits to using autotune live,
but she's a cool grounded girl and a prolific hit-writer (google it)
and for me that's far more impressive than
a good singer who doesn't write their any of their own stuff,
only like a handful of her songs but "you cant knock the hustle!"

cheers

At least now it won't take up to 30 mins to get from Salty Dog to the main arena stages. I have skipped acts before on the stages outside the arena because of the hassle getting in and out.

The salty dog will die a death. Folk go there for their few beers going to the main arena. Many will bypass it now. For me its an integral part of the festival. This has disaster all over it

Friend played me suspect device when i was about16 and it blew me away. He then played alternative ulster and have been a fan since. Two massive songs that probably didnt get the recognition they deserved.

id say SD will see a lot less punters this year,

Just checking the long term forecast there - There's a low in the high forties
Saturday's locked away on the pier, not fast enough, dear

Long term forecasts are not worth a **** this far out. Wait till Thursday for anything semi accurate.

Too late for a late Mini Mansions announcement?

Didn't even realize they were back touring again tbh, but doing Leeds & Rock en Seine before nothingness...

Modern psychedelic pop done very well; a super group with the QOTS bassist on vocals.

The trend on weather isn’t going the right way!

If anyone has a BYEco ID they are not using I would be mighty appreciative of it. PM me away. Never registered this year but have come across last minute tickets.
