Id rather see Primal Scream headline T In The Park over Primark Scream who headline this years.

the prodigy headlined in 95 (was amazing). the next year they played about 3rd on the bill so in daylightdespite having had #1s and being huge. I forget if it was Pulp or Radiohead headlined that day. (i saw Leftfield instead of Radiohead and Afghan Whigs instead of Pulp)
― Eric Burdon & War, On Drugs (Cosmic Slop), Friday, 20 February 2015 03:04 (nine years ago) link
Leftfield finished about 20 mins before the curfew time so i left early to get a taxi up the road (was too knackered to walk 15 mins up the hill ) and i walked outside to the surreal site of 200 riot police in full kit. Nobody else around. Apparently a few hours earlier some motherwell casuals had crossed the park to try burst their way in. (half the park is in Hamilton half is in Motherwell and TITP was on the Hamilton side)

the Kink Festival in Orlando last year had a solid 1-2 punch conclusion of Gojira and Mastodon, but the rest of the lineup was...
Puddle of MuddNonpointDevour the DayCrobotIslander
the Puddle of Mudd show was so embarrassingly bad. at one point Wes (the lead singer) went on a weird (probably substance-inspired) rambling monologue, and then he says "so I talked to my mother this morning" and my friend yells back "and she said 'make sure to lock up when you come in tonight!'".
also they did a limp dicked cover of War Pigs god I wanted to murder em.
but seriously tho I know Mastodon/Gojira have a wider appeal than other metal bands but who the fuck thought pairing them with nu-metal acts that nobody likes anymore was a good idea.
oh and hardly anybody showed up until the last two bands, apparently the festival was a huge bust and did poorly financially
― Hammer Smashed Bagels, Friday, 20 February 2015 03:12 (nine years ago) link
what a strange kind of festival to have gojira and puddle of mudd. I suppose mastodon have softened a bit so possibly could have fans of both but....
Never heard of the others.
― Eric Burdon & War, On Drugs (Cosmic Slop), Friday, 20 February 2015 03:15 (nine years ago) link
Nonpoint are having some kind of resurgence apparently. they opened for Megadeth and they had a fuckin' street team at the show (wtf is this 1999).
― Hammer Smashed Bagels, Friday, 20 February 2015 03:17 (nine years ago) link
weirdly heartened to hear that puddle of mudd are still going

Guilfest wins this title every year but yeah, for a festival as big as T in the Park this is wretched.
Gutted that Wireless, which is around the corner from me, has leaned EDM this year. Kendrick and Nicki Minaj are playing, but Avicii and David Guetta are headlining. Clearly this is the summer of the EDM hacks.
― Minaj moron (Re-Make/Re-Model), Friday, 20 February 2015 11:36 (nine years ago) link
I keep forgetting that people like The Script and Twin Atlantic (a) exist and (b) are huge. Only on ILM would anyone be surprised that Jessie Ware and Charli XCX are low on the bill.

what's with all the bands having preplanned album sets. I mean I know this is a thing now and I've seen many shows like this and have no objection to the format, but the choices for the album are a bit weird. ie why aren't Deftones doing "White Pony", I know people like "Around the Fur" but it's pretty far removed from who they are as a band now. I realize "And Out Come the Wolves" was Rancid's commercial breakthrough but it isn't as if it sounds that different from their other albums, a mixed set would be more fun from them.
Offspring performing Americana? fucking terrible album! at least when they did Smash in its entirety last year it was fun to relive all of the songs that got me excited as a 13 year old.
Mostly tho this poster looks like it was pulled from 2003.

Redlight King, god they are so bad
re: Rise Above Fest, Butcher Babies are one of the worst bands I've ever fucking heard. There are plenty of phenomenal female-fronted metal/rock bands out there that are making great music. This one insults the audience by pretending these bands don't exist and presenting female-fronted metal as a novelty, solely playing off of the hotness of its two leads, while playing generic nu-metal that sounds fresh out of 2001.

some decent (and once-decent) acts playing the amnesia fest. lost in time, but not complete garbage.
― describing a scene in which the Hulk gets a boner (contenderizer), Sunday, 22 February 2015 18:24 (nine years ago) link
I would go for Slayer, Bad Religion, Descendents, All, Buzzcocks, Flogging Molly, Coheed (fuck off), Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Melvins, Fear Factory, Down, and Propagandhi. not a bad lineup at all.

xp yeah, Amnesia Rockfest doesn't look that bad to me. Slayer, SOAD, Melvins, Refused, Ministry, Deftones playing Around the Fur, Pixies, Descendents. i usually consider festivals to be worth as much as their best few bands. even if half of the bands suck, it can get tough seeing more than 4 or 5 bands in one day. it's not like anyone's forcing us to watch every band on the lineup.
― billstevejim, Monday, 23 February 2015 03:18 (nine years ago) link
I was tempted to post the lineup for Woodstock '99 earlier, which I still consider the worst concert of all time, but the lineup had 5 or 6 bands I would be ok with seeing.

yeah, amnesia fest redeemed by SP alone (and melvins, slayer, refused, soad, deftones, descendents, etc). still, must feel weird for the better bands in such a lineup to find themselves in such tired company. "hey, at least it pays the bills."

Having seen him recently in a Lewisham pub - essentially, he dances as his wife DJs. He also offers commentary, for instance general 'come on's and reminding people that Manchester is a good city. More hype man than MC.
He occasionally intervenes if he isn't feeling the music (Pacific State got cut short).
Seemed good-natured, lots of time for crowd members getting photos with him.

Oh and the selections were mostly 70s-90s indie/baggy/dance crossover nostalgia, though without any Mondays or Black Grape (which seemed to frustrate parts of the crowd).
