It's in Iceland though, I doubt the population can support multiple large festivals aimed at multiple demographics, even if they are all hugely into music.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 21 February 2018 17:30 (six years ago) link

Glastonbury alone is like half the size of the entire population of Iceland.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 21 February 2018 17:31 (six years ago) link

I would totally attend a concert in Reykjavik to see Slayer, Stormzy and Gucci Mane in quick succession. Speaks to me as a family-type popular concert, and I'm not surprised there'd be Icelanders who're able to dig all three. I have strong doubts about the names below though.

I can't even tell you how happy I am that we live in a world where not only are Radioactive Sandwich, Kluster Phunk and Funkadelic Astronaut all real bands, but are all going to be in the same place at the same time.

Drawing on inspirations from classic funk bands and present day electronica, Funkadelic Astronaut blends the best of both worlds to provide a unique sound that they call “Funktronica”.

I hear Yanis Varoufakis is doing a secret set down the Rabbit Hole.

"pub quiz with Ed Miliband MP"

would go along if that was actually in my local.

mark e, Thursday, 9 August 2018 21:50 (five years ago) link

(I would like to hear Stealing Sheep's Suffragette set, I like Stealing Sheep.)

Tim, Thursday, 9 August 2018 22:19 (five years ago) link

oh man i LOVE them

maura, Thursday, 9 August 2018 22:58 (five years ago) link

how is there no stealing sheep thread, they're way more interesting than animal collective

maura, Thursday, 9 August 2018 22:59 (five years ago) link

i only know the first stealing sheep album but that was very good indeed

I'd Rather Kecak (NickB), Thursday, 9 August 2018 23:18 (five years ago) link

I wonder how we're supposed to pronounce "TWT"...

I mean at this stage you'd probably only need to ask nicely.

Matt DC, Friday, 10 August 2018 09:18 (five years ago) link

This gig is making me side with not transforming the world

the Joao looked at Jonny (Noodle Vague), Friday, 10 August 2018 12:10 (five years ago) link

in fact these people are all exhausting, I might just turn gammon

the Joao looked at Jonny (Noodle Vague), Friday, 10 August 2018 12:11 (five years ago) link

oh the second one (from 2015) is super good too!

maura, Friday, 10 August 2018 18:06 (five years ago) link

how bad is this, and if I go to see Future will I have extreme EDM fatigue?

the rl grime album represents all that is horrid abt this sort of shit

ogmor, Friday, 17 August 2018 15:06 (five years ago) link

update: the price for even a single day is prohibitively expensive, holy shit

however commentary still welcome

Hey! What's wrong with MC Paul Barman?

octobeard, Monday, 3 September 2018 04:56 (five years ago) link

'gok wan dj set' is a perfectly proportioned and unflushable fragment just bobbing around my consciousness forever

ogmor, Monday, 3 September 2018 06:10 (five years ago) link

Is Mel C going to be there while they play her mixtape? Or is this actually a DJ set?

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 3 September 2018 06:31 (five years ago) link

They just found the tape, she doesn't even know.

I just had to go to this for the weekend:

https://d265059lu1u7jc.cloudfront.net/site/uploads/2018/04/NCMF18_Full_05114018_FINAL.jpg

Keep in mind, two nights were evacuated due to lightning so no Miguel (or DJ Snake, or Revivalists and a few others). Basically a mash-mash of soundcloud rap, DJs and pseudo-hippie folk/jjam bands. People were happy and high but I was miserable.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 3 September 2018 16:52 (five years ago) link

I've heard of maybe three acts on that lineup...

stan in the place where you work (morrisp), Monday, 3 September 2018 16:55 (five years ago) link

I sort of liked Too Many Zooz, Rapsody and Jacob Banks. The Polish Ambassador was silly fun (and a great name!). Vulfpeck was like if Earth Wind & Fire was a Michigan frat band. Cashmere Cat is a big name, but I didn't give a poop about his performance.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 3 September 2018 17:17 (five years ago) link

Rapsody is good, isn't she?

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 3 September 2018 17:45 (five years ago) link

yeah, liked her. much better than the likes of Lil Gnar and Juice Wrld.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 3 September 2018 18:59 (five years ago) link

That graphic for "Aux Cord DJ'S" on Friday / day one - I'm trying to figure that out. Is that a group or are they saying that all the DJ's to the right are playing via aux cord? And that's a feature.

Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Tuesday, 4 September 2018 07:39 (five years ago) link

Vulfpeck are really popular and talented musicians but yeah Earth Wind And Fire frat band is absolutely the description

Scritti Vanilli - The Word Girl You Know It's True (dog latin), Tuesday, 4 September 2018 10:26 (five years ago) link

Oh, they could play! They just couldn't stop playing.

The band reformed in 2017 and, after a sell out comeback gig at Paisleys Bungalow, went on to finish 2017 supporting Inspiral Carpets Tom Hingley. 2018 kicked off with a spectacular sold out headline gig at Glasgows legendary King Tuts Wah Wah Hut, followed by a great set at O2 ABC Glasgow

God Like Genius - The UK's leading tribute to the music of iconic songwriter Noel Gallagher, God Like Genius deliver a journey from early Oasis classics through to High Flying Birds anthems.
The six piece band brings the big sound required to do justice to the songs that defined a generation.

I have trouble believing that there's a worse lineup than this ever.
They probably have NRA-sponsored shooting games at the midway.
