a) if I were sorry enough to be one of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, I'd be quietly devastated by this poster; b) I'm amazed at the low billing of Jessie Ware and Modest Mouse.
― Simon H., Friday, 20 February 2015 00:09 (seven years ago) link
Modest Mouse (the only band on the bill i like) have never had any hits in the UK
― Eric Burdon & War, On Drugs (Cosmic Slop), Friday, 20 February 2015 00:10 (seven years ago) link
Charli XCX is also really low.
― Van Horn Street, Friday, 20 February 2015 00:12 (seven years ago) link
Hard to justify Jessie Ware being any higher on that bill. There's a couple of things I'd see on the Friday and the Saturday, but the Sunday looks pretty dire.

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 (seven 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 (seven 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 (seven 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 (seven years ago) link

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 (seven 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.

a lot of large multi-day festivals just schedule a little bit of something for everyone instead of going down one specific lane. kills me when kids (including people up to early 20s here, now) complain that a main stage of a local festival is a snoozefest for the afternoon. that's when the middle aged and their small children just sit in a lawn chair and passively listen as their kids run around
― mh, Tuesday, 17 January 2023 16:30 (two weeks ago) link
maybe you're right but this doesn't seem inclusive so much as chaotic, especially wrt to billing placement. Tenacious D goes sixth? Noah Kahan ahead of Flaming Lips playing Yoshimi? And who ARE 50% of these acts? i recognize only five names in the bottom nine lines, i probably need to listen more. maybe there's a unifying theme of crunchy jam that is going over my head

festivals ultimately though are as good as the people putting them on. there are good festivals, there are bad festivals.
I get frustrated at the festivals that constantly require you to make poison pill choices between bands because everybody you want to see is playing opposite each other. that's the downside of those festivals that are packed with too many acts in a single day. also hate ones that have excess sound bleed due to stages being too close to each other. feels like sometimes listening to a Charles Ives piece.
I also prefer to take breaks. cannot sit through like 6 straight bands for like 8 hours. during the 70000 Tons of Metal Cruise I only ever saw 4 bands a day, whereas friends of mine made it to like 30-40 sets. I picked the ones most important to me and had a blast and yeah I missed a few I'd have liked to see but i wouldn't have enjoyed them if I got no breather.

If I remember correctly, Rednex are now a franchise - if you have the necessary funds, YOU can start your own local branch of the Cotton-Eyed Joe hitmakers— 🅡🅞🅑 🅜🅔🅢🅤🅡🅔 (@robmesure) January 23, 2023
Per wiki
In early 2018 the Rednex performer pool grew to include 17 people... During the same weekend, August 10-12th, Rednex performed with three different line-ups in three different territories, totaling 13 performers, which was a new record. Zoe, Moe Lester the Limp, Spades and Pervis the Palergator did shows in Romania and Hungary, while Billy Ray, Ace Ratclaw, Boneduster Crock, Misty Mae and Jiggie McClagganahan did shows in East Germany (Berlin & Schwerin), and Abby Hick, Rattler, Cash and Joe Cagg did shows in West Germany (Bonn & Frankfurt).
